so there are plenty of threads on words you don't like - possibly some threads on word you like...

I was listening to the radio and I heard "acquiescence" (yes I had to use spellcheck) I really like that!

What words do you like?

OP posts:

Pamplemousse.

canidothisalone · 30/08/2019 20:48

Articulate. I really like that word. It really expresses itself.

MarshaBradyo · 30/08/2019 20:50

preparatory

DuggeesWoggle · 30/08/2019 20:50

Words that end in -umble generally have a pleasing sound to them.

Ombudsman.

Puffling (baby puffin) - possibly the cutest baby animal name (although the cutest baby animals are baby giant pandas or baby orangutans).

Rosere · 30/08/2019 20:51

Turtle. Love saying it. And ombudsman. @SwizzelStick I love pamplemousse too. Even looks great written down.

vintagechick43 · 30/08/2019 20:52

Endeavour and imperative, I also quite like the word bugger, I think it has a nice ring to it. 😊

Rosere · 30/08/2019 20:52

@DuggeesWogglesnap 😂

7Worfs · 30/08/2019 20:52

Permeate
Pursue
Establish

They roll off the tongue nicely

LoseLooseLucy · 30/08/2019 20:52

Onomatopoeia

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 30/08/2019 20:53

Kerfuffle has always been a favourite.

Brouhaha is pleasing too.

Maybe i just like a fight Grin

I also love the word ‘collywobbles’ Smile

DuggeesWoggle · 30/08/2019 20:57

It's just such a weird word, Rosere - I always imagine Rowan Atkinson saying it in his exaggerated way!

I looked it up once, apparently it comes from Greek. Ombudsman. Odd word.

CherryPlum · 30/08/2019 20:58

Mummification.

Not a word that crops up often, but I like the sound.

TheoriginalLEM · 30/08/2019 20:59

Discombobulated! And fuck

IsolaPribby · 30/08/2019 21:00

My favourite word currently is capacious. It's just so descriptive!

tinytemper66 · 30/08/2019 21:00

tinytemper66 · 30/08/2019 21:01

I also like ychafi which is Welsh for something yuck but unsure of spelling!
