Hi!

I really like the word paranoia. Not the concept, just the sound.

What words do you like? If it's in a non-English language could you also give a translation?

Like you ZenDude, the word I choose is 'serendipity - the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for', for the way it sounds, kinda sounds like what it means

dECLAN · 11-19-2006, 01:45 AM

Ah!

The sound made when you get something, when you have an orgasm and the sound contained in practically every name for God such as Tara, Buddha, Krishna, Yah, Jah, Yeheshua, Saraswati, Wakantanka, Quan Yin...

This isn't a word, it's two, but...
How about Cellar Door?

That's what immediately came to mind for me.

I prefer the sound of the silence betweeen words, that is the most beautiful sound to me, because it is in the silence that more can be said than in a thousand words....

Trina · 11-19-2006, 08:26 AM

My favorite words is ethereal.

ReallyGoodIdeas · 11-19-2006, 09:59 AM

My favourite word is love, it just speaks volumes to me.

Scott Bird · 11-19-2006, 10:44 AM

Personal favourite: mellifluous. It just flows off the tongue

songwriter · 11-19-2006, 12:17 PM

Unfortunately it is a word that has been abused and consequently has lost much of its meaning.

There are also different definitions of love such as romantic love, sexual love and plenty of others which add to the confusion.

yasi_joy · 11-20-2006, 04:54 AM

grace......

m00j · 11-20-2006, 05:13 AM

syzygy

I like the sound, and I like the spelling.

cela · 11-20-2006, 08:07 AM

perspicacity \pur-spuh-KAS-uh-tee\, noun:
Clearness of understanding or insight; penetration, discernment.

Must remember to use that in conversation more often!

songwriter · 11-20-2006, 10:29 AM

exposure/exposed
fluency

Jae · 11-20-2006, 11:57 AM

It's a hard call. I've always liked "chrysalis" I guess (the pupa of a moth or butterfly enclosed in a cocoon).

Doku · 11-20-2006, 01:35 PM

most beautiful word: silence

(re: my edit: oops. though the request was for most interesting word, not most beautiful)

Blaine Moore · 11-20-2006, 02:43 PM

I like hearing the word "Blaine" on a frequent basis.

daringd · 11-24-2006, 05:16 PM

May I have two, please?

1. Simplicity

2. Bali (often called as "island of gods" and also a place I'll rest my body when my journey ends)

wolfgang · 11-24-2006, 05:19 PM

OK, I'll play. My favortie is: "".

pkarpiak · 11-25-2006, 12:03 AM

Spirited

It's half of the new slogan the Canadian province of Manitoba has made to help reshape our image, and I think it's working.

Shaden · 11-25-2006, 12:28 PM

Perfection...

Savage · 11-25-2006, 06:53 PM

Akashic_Librarian · 11-25-2006, 07:02 PM
