    I really like how the word rhythm sounds.


    I guess it's a bit unusual in that it has no real vowels.

    So what words do you like the sound of?

    (the sound, not related to the meaning
    or feeling or emotion they conjure up, e.g: no I love teh beer, teh pussy, yore MA).

    I like "seepage" or "drippage" or "sinkage" conjures up a hot swampy moist area covered in dense undergrowth.

    It may be an onomatepaeia in itself, but I love the sound of the word melody. Even better is mellodious.

    I second the vote for ironmonger. That word sounds like biting into a toffee crisp or something similair.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 313 ✭✭Dalfiatach


    Squishy - a most excellent word.

    I'm very fond of "ponder", for some reason. *strokes chin and gazes meaningfully off into distance*
