'lugubrious' sound much more positive than it should

mangelwurzel. I don't know if they're nasty because I've never had one. Some kind of root vegetable, so very suspicious.

There have been a few british comedies that have slipped cunnilingus into things.
Both TW^3 (That was the week that was), and Not the Nine O'clock news, I think. the latter finished an episode with a song, using the refraine
'kinda lingers'. Slurred slightly....

What's wrong with cunnilingus?

Root Beer and sasparilla both sound nice, yet they are evil and disgusting!

"Lethargy" has a nice relaxing sound. In fact I think I'll take a well-deserved nap.

Artichoke sounds pretty awful but is very yummy. That is the inverse of this thread though. Mesopotamia is one of my favorite words, but I don't think I can make a case for it being nasty.

hemidemisemiquaver. For all you Americans out there, I've just learned this means sixty fourth note. I don't like trying to play sixty fourth notes, my fingers aren't fast enough, but I would like them much better if it afforded me the chance to say hemidemisemiquaver.

Espionage has a ring to it--much prettier than its meaning.
Layah , a mangelwurzel is an heirloom beet.
