Lol, see what I did there?

I say "fuck" a lot. I think it's phonaesthetically appropriate for a swear-word, along with the Arabic "qs".

Synecdoche is fantastic for meaning.
Indeed is great in essays when you've run out of conjunctions for "furthermore".

Papier has a lovely sound in French and German.
Igloo also has a lovely sound, and the meaning is cute as well.
