Doesn't matter what they mean, you just have to like saying them or the way they sound.

For me, it has to be.... Plinth.

Feels great just typing it.

For me it's a close run thing between -

"Jubbly" and "antidisestablishmentarianism"

Unfortunately there's not much call for use of the word jubbly in my line of work.

I have to say that some Yiddish words are just beautiful, eg. mishuggenah, bupkis, chutzpah.

Or how about kerfuffle. Slight deviation, but a friend of mine, after eating a felafel sandwich for the first time whilst very drunk in Amsterdam, asked me the following morning, "What was that kerfuffle stuff we ate last night?".

Under cumulonimbus, the schooner made its Quixotic way up the still cadaverous waters of the Limpopo like a skelf under the skin, or the tines of a fork into the earth.

Mellifluous. What a lovely word.

Museum. Best word in the English language, if you ask me! Mainly because of the meaning, which is "Let us think". Marvellous.
