Apricot (n) - Downy yellow to rosy-colored fruit resembling a small peach.

Opt (v) -To make a choice or decision.

err...let me see, Mista.....why do you like these English words? For the sound, the spelling, the meaning?

I got many. One is definitely the adverbe "outrageously", such a great sound, once your tongue gets untwisted! Others will follow...

I like those for the sound and the spelling, nothing to do with the meaning in most cases.

I don't really value any words on an individual level. I appreciate them much more when juxtaposed together in ways you don't normally see them; I love oxymorons and paradoxical, surreal metaphors.

"Cellar door" is, according to Donnie Darko, the best (paraphrased adjective, since I've not seen it in a while) two-word combination known.

I prefer aesthetic extraculation.

Only the former word exists, but it somehow communicates what I'm trying to say. It sounds beautiful.

Masticate.

And not because it sounds like masturbate.
