I love words. This should not surprise you.
In light of this information, have you ever noticed some words are just...tickley? Or is that just me?
You know what I mean, right? Common words that, if you stop to think about them, start to sound completely ridiculous and make you feel all funny inside?
Some of my favorite tickley words...
Uvula
Pants
Tote

Onomatopoeia1
What are some of your favorite tickley words?

"Poignant" is a scrunchy face word. I love words that make your face move in unexpected ways. For instance, can you say "smile" without actually smiling, even just a little bit?
My favorite word in the English language, by far, is "sesquipedalian." It means "given to using long or multi-syallabic words." Therefore, "sesquipedalian" *is* sesquipedalian. (Cracks me up every time!)
