    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).

    “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.

    Ennui - it looks weird spelled but I love how it sounds and what it means…

    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.”

    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.

    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.

      Similar to: chough

      It’s a type of bird but good luck knowing how to pronounce it. Ahh, English.
