What are your favorite sounding words? |
|
Edited on Sat Dec-25-04 11:09 PM by nytemare
My favorite sounding word is "phooey". For what it is, I think that "poop" is too cute a word. I also like words that start with "schm" like "Schmuck", and "schmoe".
How about you folks?

... it's the most beautiful word that comes to mind for me. Never makes those stupid lists of "most beautiful sounding words" that pop up from time to time in the media, though.

I have a co-worker named "Bob", for some reason when I am feeling feeble minded, I like to say "bob bob bob bob". Speaking of which, feeble is a pretty good word too...LOL.

26. Defenestration is a longtime favorite. |

And "viz," which I adore not only for its sound but also for its antiquity, usefulness and nice air of Victorian England.
