Mochyn- Welsh for pig.

Called the kids that when they were messy and it stuck as a pet name for my daughter. Being in England no one knew what I was calling her. She wasn’t impressed when she saw the word written at a farm/zoo we visited.

Cockwomble seems to have gone out of fashion somewhat but this government are doing their best to have it reintroduced.

As others have said ... moist. Pronounced moo-oist for maximum effect. Such an innocuous word; such a range of reactions.

Loquacious and petrichor.

Sorry, I just can't split them nor use them in the same sentence. Although, if I ever invested in a pair of kittens, these might will become their names.

Melifluous

I remember Stephen Fry saying his favourite word is plinth, it's a pretty nice word to say out loud

Doing (as in how Betty boo does the do), because it is spelt the same as doing (a bells noise, like boing), which always makes me question how to pronounce going. The alternative pronunciation is much better

Flange is great it just rolls off the tongue.

My latest fave is a Spanish one: rompecabezas (puzzles).

Onomatopoeia

Twonk

Quite. Back in good ol freeserve chat days, I was called a Twonk and it has stuck ever since. Think I put an S on as Twonk was used, although I also had Twonky for a while.

My favourite word is 'knob' - So many options to use it, so many meanings and quite descriptive of many people, without being overly aggressive.
