  1. I think my favorite words are Transgression and Churn. Transgression sounds really intimidating and menacing. In a way, it expresses the definition. I also like the word Churn because I can visualize the word right away. In my mind, I can picture the action. I also think that in a way, it’s like an onomatopoeia, because, in my opinion, the sound would come out a lot like “churn.”
