Words we love
Okay, what are some words you just love? You don't have to love their meanings, just the sounds of them. Even though I don't eat it, I for some odd reason LOVE the word pork. I don't really want to eat it, but it just sounds so, I don't know! What are some words you love?

I tend to love words that sound like what they mean...
One of my favorites like that is sarcastic. I can't think of the others at the moment...

I like hippopottamonstrosesquipedaliophobia, and also pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanaconiosis. Ithink one of the most beautiful words is mellifluous. (I may have spelled it wrong)

I love sarcastic, too. Also industrious, Chihauhau, scrumptious, sumptuous, quill, snorkle, scuba, and prepostrous. And I love the words bizarre and faith especially. A word that I often seriously overuse is serious and all its variants (see! I used it in that sentence! Unconsciously!). But I think that my absolute favorite word would probably be interesting. If you don't know what to say, just say interesting, because it works for everything. "I had an interesting conversation." "That's an interesting hairdo you've got there." "Very interesting novel." "Ketchup gives everything it touches an interesting taste." "Most interesting thing happened the other day." And on and on and on...

Glockenspiel.
And the s is pronounced sh, because it's German. A lot of German words are fun to say. ^^

It's an instrument, and I think it's slightly like a piano. It's German, too.

Glockenspiel is a type of instrument. It is sort of like a xylophone.
