Word 10: Meticulous


meticulous
(adj.) extremely careful with details (The ornate needlework in the bride’s gown was a product of meticulous handiwork.)
So, I've been sharing some lesser used/known words in my blog for a few days now. 
I'd now like to know what your favourite word is!
  Albeit common, simple, over-used or even ancient, whatever! 
Post it in a comment with a definition, and let's contribute to everyone's vocabulary!
Being Scottish, I figured I should pick a Scottish word to enlighten you with. So I've gone for -Glaikit. It's basically used to describe a person or expression that looks stupid or dim.
Let's get sharing!

    For some strange reason, my favourite word is incompetent. I'm not sure why though.

    I'm not too sure what my favorite word is, but I do know my favorite name. Favorite name to say/hear that is. Well there's two..

    Clyde, and Craig.

    I mean come on, say that out-loud. Either one of them. Always cracks me up.

    Here's a Welsh word for you - cwtch (rhymes with butch - to help with the pronunciation)

    There's no literal English translation, but its nearest equivlent is "safe place". So if you give someone a cwtch, you're giving them a "safe place"...so like an affectionate hug

    It can also be used as a place to store things safely (usually a cupboard under a staircase)
