    Default Which Words Do You Enjoy Saying?

    I love saying the word: "coincidence"

    I have a difficult time articulating precisely why, but, it has a warm, crisp rhythm and lends it self to a sort of Mexican-Texan cadence.

    Are there any words that make you stop, and marvel at the particularity, and maybe even the peculiarity, of a sound?

    Toward, with a little bit of a strange pronunciation that I picked from playing a crazy person in a play once. (The only type of role I can play well)

    I stop all the time when I'm talking and admire words. Without a doubt one of my favourite words is 'perambulation'. It has a great cadence to it as you build up to the 'b' and then almost slide down to the end of the word. I just rarely get to use it in regular speech.

    Harlot.

    It actually has a nice sound to it. Not that I enjoy saying it to people! More of a "nice sounding word".

    Should probably transcribe it a akbar. Akhbar meaning "news" or, allahu akhbar: God is news.

    It is probably ludicrous to think Lemur was being malevolent about it. You'd need a veritable plethora of evidence to convince me otherwise. I love pudding - yes siree, Bob...

    I started this post hoping for bonifide titillation despite appearances otherwise. Kind of like, through unfortunate coincidence, being caught strolling amongst harlots and then claiming you were conducting a perambulation of them.

    I enjoy saying the words

    "Another pint of guinness there <insert barmans first name> "

    Also

    "You mean this place serves only free beer"

    That actually happened in Iowa and it still feels unreal even 9yr later apparently the Hawkeye State tourist economy went up 10000% after I got home.
