show and tell - favorite words

Here are some of my favorite words. I chose all of these words mostly because of their sound. Some have good definitions; others, like "pantiliners" denote things that fall far short of their glorious sounding name. "Pantiliners" may be the finest word in the English language. Unfortunately they are diapers for old people. I think they are even a made up name. By that I mean the Depends people coined the term. Fascinating that a corporation should for once be responsible for bringing beauty into the world.

I could name many more fine words, but I think that is enough for now.
