My favorite word would have to be "booger," simply because it makes little sense. Plus, it is one of the few which sounds strange even without repetition.
The ending "er" denotes one that performs the action suggested in the main part of the word, and yet... how does one boog? And, if the verb "to boog" means to attach oneself to the inner surface of a mucuous membrane, then truly there must be very few things which are capable of booging.
And so one may conclude that that which boogs is really quite rare, thus why we never hear the word used in its verb form.
