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
Serendipitously.

I knew I should have looked it up.
Nice one 😄

Inasmuch. It is the totem pole trench of words.
Loquacious
Do proper nouns count? If so Abu Dhabi is fun to say
Addis Ababa, too
Idrid Elba, in the same vein.

If Danish is allowed then “speciallægepraksisplanlægningsstabiliseringsperiode”
(Come at me, Germans!)

Wow… any longer word in Danish?
You can kinda make a word as long as you want like in German, the one I mentioned I know have just been in official use.
To give an example. A dog house in Danish is combined by “hund” and “hus” and becomes “hundehus” (the e in the middle is “gluing” the words together. Sometimes needed). If you have some roof for a dog house, a so called dog house roof, then the word becomes “hundehustag” (“tag” being roof). If you are talking about a shingle made for a dog house roof, then it becomes a “hundehustagplade” (funnily enough “tagplade” means shingle and is thus itself a combined word of “tag” (roof) and “plade” (plate)).
You can kinda keep on stacking nouns like this ad infitium in order to narrow down the exact type of shingle you’re talking about.
Poor learners… 😂 I can see the purpose. However, if one is not used to read very long words like what Danish and German do… It is…uhm…hard 😅
Prestidigitation
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.
xiuxiuejar, so onomatopoetic, I love it
“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???
- The English language is a living language. All you need to do for refenestration to be a word is to start using it.
oh you sly devil you
Blithering.
