Words you love. Words that make you happy.

[Raven]

I love the word "yikes". I just like how it sounds and how it moves. It has energy and youth and it really captures a feeling. It makes me feel good!

Your favorite words?

[unpossibles]

1. I have many. "MacDougal" comes to mind (yeah, I know it's a name)

I like how it moves from the back ("Mac-") to the middle ("-D-") to the front ("-ougal") of your mouth when you say it.

Other words I like for their sounds and/or meanings:

shadenfreude
sweetmeat
asphyxiate
bloviating
carburetor
capacious
lascivious
corporeal
plethora

and my favorite:
callipygous (having well-shaped buttocks)

there are more that I can't think of right now.
