The prettiest word to me is French six cent sioxante six, 666, pronounced: sees sahn swa sant sees

It has a beautiful symmetry to it.

Mmm I think a lot of foreign words are beautiful.

I like huggles..but you might not find it in a dictionary so I'm going to have to go with ecclectic.

Is huggles a cross between hugs and snuggles? It should be in the dictionary. Lewis Carroll made up lots of words and some made it into the dictionary. I think "chortle" is one of them.

Yep that's what it is. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=huggles&r=f It's quite the 'net friend thing to do especially if someone is venting to you about their problems and you dont know what you can do for them but listen, although you wish you could do more.

I know chortles was originally a nonsense word when it was in Jabberywocky but made it into the dictionary some time later. No wonder it was a very descriptive word even if it was made up. I always loved the way that poem flowed even the words that werent really words. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe..

titillating.

I know, it's hard to comprehend that we ever lived without it. I mean, I chortle sometimes. What would I have called it before Lewis Carroll came along?

I find even the word "titillating" kind of titillating. (Sorry, I just wanted to say it. Titillating. Titillating. It really is a good word.)

Demoniac. It's just so powerful a word.

Verbose, parlance, and loquacious are all fun to say; and they are all related to speech.

I call my wife "Mulp Ragus" (pronounced MULP Rah-goosh) You can figure it out, I'm sure.

When I was a teenager, my mom told me to stop "suppurating." Then I learned its meaning...
