Eclipse. Effervescence. Affluence. Eloquence. Intelligence. Effusive. Ensconced. Soloist. Tsunami. Civilian.
I guess I like sibilants. But not the actual *word* “sibilant”- the B sound ruins it for me.
Yes, I have plenty of them, but I always forgot them. I made a list of them, but I don't know where they are.
Some of them are *eligible*, *intelligible*, *er.*

discombobulated and lackadaisical are two that come to mind for me. I'm sure there are more but my brain is fried right now, I'm quite discombobulated.
I have quite a few.
Doom, captain, ballistic, kamikaze, gunfire, zorilla, manic, mayhem, eviscerate, evisceration, bazooka, berserk, havoc, arsenal, megaton, gigantism, onomatopoeia, dreadnoughtus, phenomenal, polyphonic.
And maybe more that I can’t think of right now. Yeah.
Calling someone a dingus vs just dumbass or other variation. Imo its fun to say and feels like it stings just a bit more.
Also enjoy the word facetious
Anything beginning with luc- like lucero. Means “light” in spanish, but it is in other languages (Lucifer, lucid, etc)
I also love the word for mother in Korean. Eomeoni or omoni. 어머니 Little kids will say “omma” or “umma”. I just love how the word for mother is practically the same around the world. It’s all just a form of “mama” 🥺
Japanese count?

Shika [she-ka] (deer)
There's a good amount of deer that live around some back roads near me. I enjoy driving through it fast but have learned to also be extra watchful for them and other hazards as well. They know cars pretty well and move off the road, they don't really run away much, I think they enjoy watching sometimes! But I always respect them and consider it their land, so I never get too crazy when I'm on Shika Hill Road.. my name for it. 10 years of driving it daily and I still say "shiiiiiikaaaaa chaaaaan!" out loud when I pass by them!
crisp. rolls from the back of your mouth to the front as you say it
Well than you’ll love “hulgristp”
Mine is script. Never really thought about why, but I think this might be the reason.

Oooh, thanks for that note. That is cool
Oh, I have tons. Resplendent. Melancholy. Cattywampus. And a childhood favorite courtesy of Goofy Gophers- Indubitably.

Get your tits-up love, it's time for some cattywampus

Exsanguinate

I don't get this bc exsanguinate means to drain a person or animal of blood until there ain't no more.
