What other words do you just love to say out loud?Welcome to the board freckled_snout!...Great name! My all-time favorite oratorical word was an Amerindian name I picked up when my sister's family lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania... Monongahela . It's the river that flows out of West Virginia through Western Pennsylvania and then connects with the Allegheny at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio. Monongahela...See...I can't just say it once!

Far above Cayuga's waters, there's an awful smell. Just an old deserted backhouse that they call Cornell.

Whenever I hear the word Monongahela, I think of a song the wonderful Beatrice Lillie sang which began "Come, oh come to Pittsburgh". The only other words I can remember are "Where the Monongahela flows...". Speaking of Lady Peal (sp?), does anyone know if any of her performances are on CD?

The official school lyrics are: Far above Cayuga's waters there's a funny smell. Some say it's Cayuga's waters, Others say Cornell. Let's keep that straight!
