Words that make you go "MMM-mmm".

If we eat with our eyes then I believe that we hear with our mouths. We can tempt our senses from multiple orifices with cross stimulation. Please remember that cross stimulation doesn't always have to occur on sunday mornings. Aurally is usually how spoken words deliver their effect, but certain words aloud can make the speaker tingle.

Today we embrace the Anomanapia. I find that these words really stand out as fun to say and most reminicent of the word's meaning:

euphoria
callipyginous
transcendental
fracture
lavender
handle
spumoni
errogenous
bucolic
coarse
chic
sable
sulphur
roundabout
tiramisu
stopgap

Enjoy one, enjoy all. Say them loud, say them in a crowd. You'll find that a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the wits.
