Not because of what they mean, but just the satisfying sound of them? My favourite is 'canoe', but I also love 'goose' and 'mackerel'!

I love Nineveh but due to it being an ancient city that no longer exists I never get to say it.

I also like arthropod, primitive and semblance.

Mine are all rather pedestrian, I like: Thursday, lunch, turbot, pilchard, plop, and rabbity.

'Nineveh' IS a really nice word, try learning Cargoes by John Masefield because then you get to use 'Quinquireme' which an even BETTER word and 'Nineveh' in the same breath.

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Cowp or cowped - NI/Scottish meaning to fall over. Just so satisfying to say!
