My favorite words tend to be place names; this is a district in Tokyo, and it’s so much fun to say. A literal translation is “high field horse place”.

In some dictionaries the definition reads…
a song of lamentation for the dead
It is sad, but with a definition that rises to the level of poetry

It’s a bathing suit for women whose top front looks like a tank top. I love that the contraction of tank top and bikini flows so well.

Aside from being fun to say and spell, it’s one of those onomatopoeic words that conjures up the definition as you say it over and over again…

It’s a soft marshmallow kind of a word, sounds like a low breath out – it conjures up an intimate image, and it’s just plain sexy.

It’s onomatopoeic without trying to be.

It’s fun to say and it was the only thing that made me happy during the ice storm a couple months ago. Hearing the word tertiary made knowing that tertiary roads would not be plowed made being snowed in a little easier to bear.

Twig

I love this word because every time I hear it it brings a smile to my face. it sounds so much like what it is. I hear twig, I picture something small and, well, twiggy! More so, this site didn’t have Twig on its list, so I had to post it.

It’s my absolute favorite legal word. It is basically someone who does something bad and the word just brings that to mind!
