Penchant
<pen-shent>
desire for; fondness; liking;
having a weakness for something.
He had a penchant for expensive watches and he owned many.
Memory trick:
pen reminds of to write about
chant reminds of saying something over and over
we write about something over and over when we want it.
Used at work:
He has a penchant for the color blue and all his report covers are blue.
