Bet you could have guessed a few of Sen. Daniel Inouye most commonly uttered words on Capitol Hill: 

1. Hawaii’s

2. Hawaiian

3. Hawaii 

4. Hawaiians

5. Indian

Also in the running, according to The Sunlight Foundation’s Capitol Words tracker: “Nurse;” “Filipino;” “coral;” “tsunami’” and “earmarks.”

Rep. Colleen Hanabusa’s top five include: “Kamehameha;” “worst-case;” and “guitar.” For Rep. Mazie Hirono, “mahalo” makes it into the top 10. For Sen. Daniel Akaka, the words “veterans;” “Inouye” and “aloha” are all common. 

Collectively, Hawaii’s delegates often say: “Aloha;” “Maui;” “Hawaiians;” “Filipino;” “nuclear” and “Honolulu.”

Capitol Words does more than look at individual legislators. It also compares commonly used words by party. For example, Democrats mention Iraq and Afghanistan more often than Republicans do, according to the database.
