January 23, 201313 yr After reading some of the neighing and braying by some recent posters the thought came to mind, what are the most beautiful sounding words or combos in English? Oh, ok, I saw this on the internet and cribbed the idea. Try not to do any googling and be orginal not as I was. I had read that cellar door is/was considered to be a beautiful combo by some including Tolkein the Hobbit Master; esp if pronounced slowly. French has beaucoup/many pleasant sounding words; asimismo/also Spanish. We can leave to to Christian to provide some pleasant sounding words in German! But for now one my English favs would be mellifluous. Any one want to aduce their contemplation?
January 23, 201313 yr When I was much younger, I often used to say of my favourite grandmother that she was succulent. I always think if her whenever I see that word.

January 23, 201313 yr I love the way the Spanish say your welcome, or de nada which actually means for nothing. It is the most gracious way i have ever heard to say your welcome.
January 23, 201313 yr Oops; I meant to post this in the Beer Bar Maybe it should be renamed The Vodkatonic Bar
January 23, 201313 yr If you're taking nominations for the best sounding words in the English language I'd add lullaby.
January 23, 201313 yr As this topic's now been installed in the Beer Bar, its rightful home, how about a few things that might be found in such: martini manhattan singaporesling methusalah jeroboam bourbonontherocks whiskyandsoda chardonnay pinotnoir slipperynipple alabamaslammer longislandicetea barsacandsauternes fizzylemonade twopintsoflagerandapacketofcrisps
January 24, 201313 yr Author Rogie, I think you have a one track mind! Although I do like chardonnay but that sounds too Frenchy. Amnesia has a pleasant sound if I remember correctly as opposed to tinnitus which grates on the ear.
January 24, 201313 yr Bloody Mary. An appropriate expletive for your dastardly female friend, Mary - which also happens to be the name of a delicious drink! Anybody got examples for teetotallers? (Hiccup)
January 24, 201313 yr Author Sorry, Jovianmoon, there are no pleasant sounding words for teetotallers!
January 25, 201313 yr In my opinion, you can't beat a nice cup of tea. An indispensable way to start the day along with a bowl of fortifying porridge (in the winter) or muesli (in the summer). Tea is an equally great pick-me-up for anyone who'd been out on the tiles the night before or for the sad teetotaller. If you are a: Teetotaller = stimulant Hard boozer = restorative (cure for a hangover) I wouldn't mind betting tea could also be a fine cure for Jovianmoon's hiccups. Unfortunately, just as teetotaller sounds most unpleasant on the ear, 'tea' is too short a word to stand any chance of sounding sweet and harmonious to one's auditory senses. Again, unfortunately, coffee seems to have stolen a march on tea and spawned a whole vocabulary of names: expresso = like ristretto = also like starbuck (tax dodger!)= ugly
January 26, 201313 yr 'tea' is too short a word to stand any chance of sounding sweet and harmonious to one's auditory senses. Surely many guys are really turned on by "oooh-long!"
January 26, 201313 yr Surely many guys are really turned on by "oooh-long!" Who wouldn't be! I agree there are some great tea varieties, certainly oolong being a good one. How about: lapsang souchong floweryorangepekoe darjeeling
January 26, 201313 yr Surely many guys are really turned on by "oooh-long!" now i get it !!! i had a thai guy say this to me when i asked him if he wanted a drink in a bar in sunee i was thinking to myself how the hell does he know if its long or not .. ha aint had his hand down there yet ... no wonder he laughed when i got him a beer.
