My favorite word in the French lexicon, hands down.

To this I would add "panties," and to this list I would elevate "moist panties" as one of those phrases whose aural construction makes my skin crawl, even though the concept is, in contrast, strikingly pleasing.

Some of my own favorites:
Visceral
Profundity
Swarthy
Sycophant (+1)

Dastreen - last nigh
