"dance" has something to it.
So does "tower".
I always thought "castle" seemed like it sounded like it is shaped.

and twilight... sounds cute
And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And Thou shalt not, writ over the door:
So I turned to the Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore. - "The Garden of Love", William Blake.
posh is an interesting word I think, along with brackish and this is a French phrase I like espirt de les escalier, a direct translation is something like "wit of the stairway" but it refers to what you would have like to have said, but now it's too late!![]()

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Words beginning with 'Thr-' have a certain something about them.
Thrush
Thrall
Throb
Thrum
Through
Especially if one rolls ones 'R's.
"Thing" sounds like a bizzare word to have formed.
"Thing"? I suppose so.
You'd love me, I use it constantly; to replace the words I forget when I'm talking. (Funny, when I'm typing, the words go straight from my brain to my fingers, I almost never forget one. But the second I open my mouth, I forget everything I ever learned.) Trying to understand me is like a game of fill-in-the-blanks: "So, I was wondering, when we put the... thing in the thing, do we have to still use the thing she told us to, or was that just for the other thing?" [Insert lots of vague, unhelpful hand gestures.]
If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall.
You think I can't fly? Well, you just watch me!

Thing is a little dull and clunky sounding to my aged ears. Now if it were 'thring' instead that would add gravitas, length and a delightful sonorous sound to the word, like an old fashioned telephone ringing, and Emily's incomprehensible conversation would become a thring of great beauty. I vote we replace thing with thring immediately. All in agreement say Aye.
There's always "daffodil" to reckon with.
My siblings laugh every time they say the word "pure" --it just has an odd shape to it inside your mouth. Does that make sence.
...
PURE!
Irish poets, learn your trade!

Aye! That be a pure "aye" thring!
The English spelling of this Armenian word is something along the lines of "dagagh" (the "gh" at the end is a really guttural sound evoked from the back of the throat) and its translation is "coffin". It just has a very ominous tone for me which isn't surprising considering its meaning...
"...for no man lives in the external truth among salts and acids, but in the warm, phantasmagoric chamber of his brain, with the painted windows and the storied wall."
-Robert Louis Stevenson
I think ELECTED sounds funny or ELECTRIC
im boring, so i love the way dichotomy sounds. And names like Vanessa, Ashleigh.
We can never know what to want, because living only one life we can neither compare it with our previous lives, nor perfect it in our lives to come'

The word "crucial :" has got a nice ring to it.cool:
