I had no idea there was a word for this.

 

lachrymose

This is amazing. I literally keep a list of words that I really like that I update every time I think of a new one. I try to limit it to my very favoritest of favorites. I'm up to 52, though I might have a lot more after going through this thread. My top ones are:

1. Defenestrate
2. Commandeer
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum
4. Masochistic
5. Neutralize
6. Fuck
7. Asphyxiate
8. Acquired
9. Paradigm
10. Egregious
