is.. it because it's the same word used in English sometimes for fecal matter? :P .. 

No, that's not it. We genuinely do not know what it is or how it works. The word "banana" makes her sad. I just don't know.

"Snuggle", my favourite word ever

Just randomly made me think of this:

Smuggle a snuggle with a muggle 

Then cuddle and tickle it with a noodle

mellifluent

gavotting (used to describe fallen leaves dancing in the wind)

 

A gavotte is often used to refer to a particular type of dance in classical music. The other 2 words are also some of my favourites. 

 

Others:

Subarashii

Sozinho

Desafinado

Doves

Montpellier

@Grinchmer Banana is a common insult used in my country to refer to people who look Chinese but don't speak the Chinese language... 

 

Conotations nowadays more often associated with minions and despicable me...

I like words that end with ~scence.

From my mother tongue (Polish): rzyć which is an obsolete word for buttocks

From Japanese: those wacky four-character idiomatic compounds

My favorite word (it has been for many, many, years) is exsanguinate, or to die by bleeding out. This has nothing to do with suicide, I'm simply a murder-mystery junkie, and I love its rhythm!

Inconclastic rolls off the tongue well. Primordial as well.

 

Serendipity is my favourite word though.

In no particular order:

Perplex

Confuzzle

Achtung!

Consternation

Freight(er)

Sausage

Insolent*

Cretin*

Bell-end

Duggy

Doughnut

Snail

 

* for best results, combine into one insult. For a more working class flavour, try insolent bell-end.

There are many words I find highly pleasant, though some of my favorites are radiance, sanguine, floret and holly. Holly especially, it's really cool that it's a name too!

The French verb meaning "to purr" is ronronner. It's a very onomatopoeic word. Then again, I guess "purr" is too.

 

Le chat ronronne. - The cat is purring. 

 

Like a little motor. 😂

Tits - not for the sexual or nourishing connotations but because it is my favorite "swear" word. When something goes wrong in my day, everyone who knows me can expect to hear me say, "Tits!" instead of a different word that starts with f and ends with k 🤣
