I hope this topic is not limited to English words only. I like the Chinese word '缘分'(yuan2fen4): lot or luck by which people are brought together. It refers to an interesting concept and is also very common.
the more languages the better!

Agreed! '缘分 is one of those words where once you learn it, you start hear it everywhere.

I quite like 'acnestis' - the part of the body that cannot be reached (to scratch), usually the space between the shoulder blades.
love it, for which one can use a 'magonote', another word for backscratcher :)

I'm quite partial to 'aglet'. aglet - the piece of plastic at the end of a shoelace without which lacing up shoes would be a nightmare
This is definitely one of those never-knew-there-was-a-word-for-that! kind of words :)

I like 'oogemiflob' - not exactly a real word, but it can be used in place of 'thingey'. "Pass me that oogemiflob, would you?"
Haha...''oojamaflip''would also work in those situations :)
