Words that paint a picture are my favorites.
Hardscrabble.
When I hear this word used, I picture sad faces from the Dustbowl and a stark backdrop of barren land. I love this word not just for the imagery it evokes, but also because it can be used in a hyperbolic way; and I love dramatic language a lot. Also, falderol is one of my most favorites of all and I get teased often and a lot of blank stares about using it in everyday conversation, but I will never stop saying it.
