I was inspired by Michelle Teheux’s article about words to write my own. Though mine is a little different than hers because mine is about spoken words rather than written. More about sound and ease of saying.

Words I think are fun to say:

1. Rubbish — Best word. Sadly I’m not British.
2. Hubbub
3. Squish — I love words that sounds like what they represent.
4. Portugal — Sadly I am also not Portuguese(which is also fun to say.)
5. Beluga
6. Nautical — Brings to mind Spongebob Squarepants.
7. Y’all — Includes everyone and is fun to say.
8. Gazebo
9. Curmudgeon
10. Moot

Words I don’t like to say:

1. Sixth — Sixth grade was awful for this reason. Everyone asks you what grade you’re in!
2. Froth — Such a weird mouth shape you have to make to say that word.
3. Astigmatism — Sounds overly fancy and smart, but it starts with ass.
4. Rural
5. Espresso — I always want to say expresso instead.
6. Lisp
7. Orifice
8. Err — Ironically most people mispronounce it.
9. Salmon — Why is there an L?!
10. February
