I !love! words. When you ask someone what they think the prettiest word is, you get two types of answers.

1. is a word with a ‘good’ meaning. Love, home, family, etc. that’s boring idc about that.

2. is much more interesting: words that just sound beautiful. There are words commonly accepted as pretty words, ones like iridescent or ethereal ( ) but then there are not rlly acceptable words that sound pretty (at least to me) with not as pretty meanings, so they don’t get listed as often.

Skeletal is probably my favorite word ever, but that’s tame. I think the word ‘swastika’ is amazing. I love how it sounds, but saying this isn’t the biggest brain move. The -isms, racism, sexism, + their -ist forms have something just so pleasing to the ear. Don’t they just flow so nicely?!?!?!?
I view it as separating the art from the artist. Maybe not everyone can split a word and its meaning apart to appreciate the specific mix of vowels and consonants, lol. Shame, because otherwise I’d be saying ‘swastika’ all day.

On a side note, while looking up words for this thread, I came across phonoaesthetics, and apparently ‘cellar door’ is cited as one of the words with the most ‘euphonic sound combination’ so I suppose I can be satisfied saying that all day instead of ‘swastika’ .

I like words that have an atmospheric sound to them like (cohesiveness, star fall, post-haste, apocalyptic)
Like they melt off the tongue, sort of like food, but with words.

what are some of my favorite words in the English language hmm, “bliss”, “extravaganza”, “discipline”, “hilarious”

”hippopotamus” and “Mississippi“ are fun too though, to pronounce
