I've spent some time browsing and I fear for what this will do to my already poor productivity. I chose my username because it occurred to me one day that "snout" was a very fun word to say... try it a few times; it's addictive! Then the other day my husband commented on a new freckle on my nose and I grinned because freckle's such a great word too. Of course, I realized I was the proud owner of a freckled snout!!! Yay!!! What other words do you just love to say out loud?

I think one of my favourite words is the Indonesian malapetaka meaning disaster. I assume it comes from Portuguese, but that's just a guess. Annastrophic?

I'm afraid I can't agree with you over the word "snout," though. To me, it has unfortunate connotations, being the prison cant for tobacco. However, couplling it with "freckled" does ameliorate its impact considerably and can be argued to have a pleasingly oxymoronic effect. (Assuming that one does, as I do, think freckles are really pleasant additions to ones face.) There are few words that I do not like to say out loud. I love words and I love the sound of words, even when they make no sense to me - I love to hear Italian spoken, for instance, although I don't understand the language. But currently, I like to have the chance to say "Præmonstratensian," - a fairly obscure sect of monks, offshoots of the Cistercian order, I think. There is a whole string of ruined monasteries of that orde round here, so I do get the chance, from time to time, to indulge that particular whim.
