Though I don't have a favorite word, I will muster up something for the sake of participation.

How about- Dithyramb

I came across this word in a philosophy book I carry around in my car and pull out during red lights and traffic for review. (not really)

It stuck with me cuz it rhymed with ‘ditsy rant’ as does the meaning...somewhat.
