I've always loved the word Fib as it sounds fizzy like sherbet, it's not used nearly enough.

Narcissism and Narcissistic - it sounds posh and I like the sound of the 'cissis'.
Penetration and Erection - I don't think I need to explain why I like these words.

Some other favourite words of mine; Spelunking, Onomatopoeia, Anecdotage, Gargoyle, Dazzle, Hullabaloo, Blasphemy, Immemorial, Lust, Iridescence, Cherish, Humongous, Thwarted, Awesome, Flibbertigibbet, Schmuck, Heart.

For me it's not so much the sound or sight of individual words that is enjoyable but the elegance or impact etc of the combinations they make though the word for the sound of '94 is lovely - Fwapna Fa Fa Fwapna.... [blame the acid and the sound system]

peace j

Sephiroth is a interesting character and Gorgoroth have som nice songs.
And Sanglioth is the synonym of Slagaroth.

Actually Sanglioth and Slagorth have no meaning. Sanglioth was in the lyrics of a greek punk song and when I asked in the comment section of youtube what Sanglioth means the guy who uploaded this said that ''it's the synonym of Slagaroth''.
