Skedaddle, I like how it can be playfully dismissive and throw people off when they’re angry.
My favorite foreign word is Inverno (Italian for Winter).
As opposed to “inferno” which is now a universal word for summer
Inasmuch. It is the totem pole trench of words.
Do proper nouns count? If so Abu Dhabi is fun to say
“Defenestration”.
The fact there’s a specific word for throwing someone out of a window is hilarious. Even the word itself sounds funny to say.
I think “refenestration” which means to throw someone back into a building through the window is inherently funnier.
THAT’S A THING???

oh you sly devil you
trabajabamos… or maybe hablabamos
Prestidigitation
Erstwhile
Chrysalis - just fun to say and sounds neat
Luminous - loved it ever since I first saw Empire Strikes Back when Yoda said “Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter.”
Ennui - it looks weird spelled but I love how it sounds and what it means…
Antedilluvian
Depending on the language. In English I like overwhelming or acknowledge, in Catalan I like xiuxiuejar it means to whisper, in Spanish I love almajaneque, it comes from Arabic and it means trebuchet.
sesquipedalian.
Basically defines itself
Though not a single word, I’ve always loved picket fence
“Gruntled”! The wonderful opposite of disgruntled
And “gruntling” is an excellent old-timey word for baby pigs
Suss
verb. To suss something. To solve or figure it out. To come to understand it.
Short, sweet, one syllable. Two letters, three S’s (which, honestly, do the heavy lifting) and U, the goth child of the vowels.
