There's one word that pops up without fail in Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett: ineffable. Does it matter that it's used a bit irreverently throughout the novel? Of course it does. That's what makes it so entertaining.
ineffable (in ef' ə b' l) adj. 1. Too overwhelming to be expressed or described in words; inexpressible 2. too awesome or sacred to be spoken
