What's a word you like to say?
I find some words just enjoyable to say for some reason—something about the sound and feeling of saying them, as well as the imagery they conjure—words like “lacquer” and “shellac” and “jugular” and “dialect” and “caliber”. Are there words you enjoy saying?

@gailcalled got mine already. As soon as I saw the topic, I though “susurrus” and “tintinnabulation”.
I also like murmur and whisper. And now that @Aesthetic_Mess mentions it, coffee.
Foot is also fun to say. And book. Especially when you say them over and over again. “foot foot foot foot foot” .. like an engine idling.
Absolutely, redundant, f@ck, Mochate (Spanish for “give it up”), plethora, and anal. I often say “Is that right?”, and “Oh yea?”
