This was inspired by another thread about a word you really hate right now. I don't know if its already been done though. In this one, I'm being specific. What's a word that you just like to say or hear? One of my favorites is "Mondegreen" :D People say cellar door is the most beautiful word in the English language, but idk its not really my favorite.

Icing, because my favourite part of the cake is the icing.

I have none but here it reminds me of how once some Italian star visited Poland and said: "You, Poles, have such weird words - for example how can you say "kocham" (I love) - it's such an ugly sounding one but "cielęcina" (veal) - oh, it's such a beautiful one". :D

Sweet Pea. I love those two words together. I consider all gentle souls to be Sweet Peas. I also like to eat tender sweet peas with my supper. I've also made a whole bunch of Sweet Peas to use for emoticons and I've found out about a very sweet live action Sweet Pea that I've named Peahawk because of his blue Mohawk.

Sweet Pea sounds like sweet pee. We call this plant groszek pachnący - smelling little bean :D That's how I'd translate it.

I like the word "hijinks", because it sounds breezy and funny to me.

The words I like in any period of time are usually related to my current interests or best friends (if I have them). Usually when I love a word it lasts for a very short period before I end up hating it to a degree. For example, I loved the word 'hypersensitive' for a day or two and then began to hate it for various reasons. The only words that I will always love are my friend's names.
