faux bubble

it's a pretty lousy thing to do, but i'm stealing chloé's freshly baked morning bubble. it's "words i like". for the sound. for their sense. for their spelling. and for their funny.

spume (sounds gross, like sperm or spew, but isn't; use it often)
spleen
zebu (longest vowels on the block)
razzamatazz (its got 4 z's: irrezzistible)
dodecahedron (what a solid)
schwa (letters look better upside-down)
phlegm (for the g)
chutzpah
gristle (tasty)
ointment
soupçon (something french)
marmalade
cumquat

I've always loved the word "cumquat", even though I've never tried any.

It's because I once read a comic book where the main character needed cumquats to stay alive. It was very very cute.
