I'm fascinated with why incandescent was number one. Oh, I should have added 'fascinated' to my list! Rats!

1) Fuck. The most versatile word there is. Period.

2) Teamwork. "Goddammit, I love teamwork!" Most of my friends will say that's my catchphrase, but if you pressed them, they would say simply teamwork.

3) Got'em! Another word that is bantered back and forth around my friends. Got'em! may be more versatile than you think by the way. For example,

"Is this beer vegan?"

"...yeah...."

"But how do you know?"

"Because, as far as I know, no one has ever brewed beer out of meat!"

"GOT'EM!"

4) However. I try to use however instead of but, but however, I fail a lot.

5) Train. I keep this word in my head the most. Not sure what I'm training for. I mostly fail. But, however (teehee) I sparsely succeed.
