out of curiosity

What is your favorite word of all time, the word that fills you with bizarre, ineffable happiness whenever you get the chance to use or say it?

Mine is 'sloth,' although my favorite not-English word is Old English neorxnawong, which is the word for Paradise (as in, the Garden of Eden). Nay-orx-na-wong! Say it!

I ask this question periodically because I love words and I love it when people talk about them and enjoy them. It makes me happy and it relaxes me.

Back tonight with fic! \o/

Mine's not actually English, but rather Spanish - I love the word for cod. Bacalao. Bacalaaaaooooooooo. Just say it - bah-cah-lahohhhhhhhhhh. So fun.

Bah-cah-lahohhhhhh!!

\o/ I think any word can sound funny with the proper treatment, but some are just inherently funny/amusing :D
