I love the word: Kismet. It is so magical and real and it works in only the most unique moments...that only happen once or twice in a lifetime.

I always like the word "Jeep" I don't know why... I think I just like the sound it makes. When I say it enough times in a row it always makes me laugh. I think it's kind of funny really, because I don't actually like jeeps (the vehicle) at all. Just the name.

It's a different question for us English speakers. The people surveyed were responding solely to the sound of the word, not knowing the meaning.

For an English speaker, it's impossible to completely divorce meaning from sound. Ever heard the French children's song Allouette? It a catchy little thing, a nice pleasant bouncy tune, and the words sound sweet and innocent. If you don't know what they mean. The song is about (I kid you not) a kid who's found a dead bird, and is dismembering it, naming each body part as he rips it off the bird's body. Having the correct context changes how we react to it.

That said, I have to go with:

sublime
peripatetic
analagous
grace
nucleic
ethereal
quizzical
zither
sweetpea
anaphalactic
bombadier

That last one may not be the most beautiful but (to the best of my knowledge) it's the longest!

BTW: I like "ointment" a whole lot better than I like "unguent"!

Euphoric – sounds like the feeling to me

Loam – rich, earthy, saying it feels meditational…

Mississippi – (spoken & also spelled out loud) – reminds me of childhood

Flopdoodles – funniest word for breasts I've ever heard
