Wherewithal - LimeParrot, on 06/16/2009, -5/+39It's not a word but "cellar door" is a nice phrase. (From Donnie Darko)

girls
alcohol
democracy - broncfan23, on 06/16/2009, -1/+28mind=blown
- uzair21, on 06/16/2009, -1/+26beautiful is not beautiful
- lebruf, on 06/16/2009, -4/+28The ironic thing is that less than half of these have a very true English origin. (They're borrowed straight from another language)
It was a given that tons of them would be French and Italian, but wow, I didn't expect so many. - splinter09, on 06/16/2009, -1/+25How come beautiful is not there? lol
- christoast, on 06/17/2009, -2/+25I have sampled every language, French is my favourite - fantastic language, especially to curse with. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d’enculé de ta mère. Like wiping your ass with silk.
(Goddammit, ***** whore, filthy, ***** *****, ***** in the ass *****) - chadsexingtime, on 06/16/2009, -6/+26Cellar Door
- Hortinstein, on 06/17/2009, -0/+19Tolkien said this was his favorite phrase if I remember correctly
- tmyprod, on 06/16/2009, -1/+20in one epic sentence.
- kalv, on 06/16/2009, -4/+22Beautiful to the author... jibberish to the average person.
- DirtPile, on 06/16/2009, -0/+17Manamana. (doot doo-do-doo-do)
- wefarrell, on 06/16/2009, -1/+16I got an erection just reading that list. Although Fluke is a bit of a fluke.
- MforMike, on 06/17/2009, -0/+14I once knew a girl named Mulva
- SurrealDream, on 06/16/2009, -1/+14I like the word "flap". It always feels moist to me.
- zapperdude60, on 06/17/2009, -0/+13you suck at sarcasm
- inactive, on 06/16/2009, -6/+19"Comely"
I comelyed all over your mom. - Sajuukar, on 06/16/2009, -1/+14I was actually rather surprised that I agreed with most words on that list.
Of course, some disagreement is to be expected, probably because I have become "inured" to some of those words :) - da233, on 06/16/2009, -1/+13Why is "Boobies" not on this list?
- ZackM, on 06/17/2009, -3/+15Yesterday I looked up the following words in the dictionary: Aestivate, Ailurophile, Assemblage, Becoming, Beleaguer, Billet-doux, Brood, Bucolic, Bungalow, Chatoyant, Comely, Conflate, Cynosure, Dalliance, Demesne, Demure, Denouement, Desuetude, Desultory, Diaphanous, Dissemble, Dulcet, Ebullient, Effervescent, Efflorescence, Elision, Elixir, Eloquence, Embrocation, Emollient, Ephemeral, Epiphany, Erstwhile, Esculent, Ethereal, Evanescent, Evocative, Fetching, Felicitous, Fluke, Forbearance, Fugacious, Furtive, Gambol, Glamour, Gossamer, Halcyon, Imbrication, Imbroglio, Imbue, Incipient, Ineffable, Ingenue, Inglenook, Insouciance, Inure, Lagniappe, Lagoon, Languor, Lassitude, Leisure, Lilt, Lissome, Lithe, Luxuriant, Mellifluous, Moiety, Mondegreen, Murmur, Nemesis, Niveous, Odalisque, Offing, Onomatopoeia, Opulent, Palimpsest, Panacea, Panoply, Pastiche, Peccadillo, Penumbra, Petrichor, Plethora, Propinquity, Pyrrhic, Quintessential, Ratatouille, Redolent, Riparian, Ripple, Scintilla, Sempiternal, Seraglio, Serendipity, Surreptitious, Sumptuous, Sussurous
Symbiosis, Talisman, Tintinnabulation, Umbrageous, Umbrella, Untoward, Vestige, Viridescent, Waft and Wherewithal. - skunkman62, on 06/16/2009, -0/+11but they have "Quintessential". really? one of the most overuse words in the late 90's early 2000. also another beautiful that was omitted "DeezNutz" http://digg.com/u15qb6
- doctechnical, on 06/16/2009, -0/+10This list lacks "wood".
- TheCodeFoundry, on 06/17/2009, -0/+10@thehuntofdear:
It's actually from J.R.R. Tolkien
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellar_door - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+10Deloris?
- A11YND, on 06/17/2009, -1/+10You mean from J.R.R. Tolkien. :P
- inactive, on 06/16/2009, -2/+11Starcraft: Broodwar is beautiful.
- wrzhydr, on 06/17/2009, -2/+11That along with "rusty ***** bucket" are my favorites.
- noizeuk, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9Theses have no credibility unless they're spoken by Stephen Fry.
- lucy22, on 06/16/2009, -0/+9Demure is a lovely word. I do not find it is used much in our culture. Some romance literature, maybe.
- tmyprod, on 06/17/2009, -2/+11I said epic!
THERE IS NOTHING EPIC ABOUT DICTIONARIES AND READING!!!!....in grand tales told in a single epic sentence. - 1nhuman, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9Eighteen
- DephexTwin, on 06/17/2009, -1/+10"Comely"
Your Mom is comely because I jizzed all over her. - babyheadout, on 06/17/2009, -1/+10Yeah, I'd like to see a revised 100 word list that excludes the ones of French origin.
- charlietuna, on 06/17/2009, -2/+11Vagina... you forgot vagina.
- Coy0te, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9Too beautiful for me to view apparently.
- SamSlater, on 06/17/2009, -0/+8I'd have put 'facial' on that list. And I mean that in all sincerity.
- Bethi, on 06/16/2009, -0/+8that one is my personal favorite also
- charlietuna, on 06/17/2009, -0/+8Clitoris is derived from a Greek word: kleitoris: small hill.
mmm nummers - diggduggjoe, on 06/17/2009, -0/+7I am confused, I thought the 5 most beautiful words were,
"Yes, I will ***** you!"
Wow, just wow. I cannot imagine any of that 100 being more beautiful than a woman saying the above. - DrDragun, on 06/17/2009, -1/+8Yeah I read a piece about Tolkien creating all of the complete Middle Earth languages from scratch, and I remember how he thought some English words like cellar were amazing and others were grating and awful.
Donnie Darko referenced Tolkien on that for sure. - feomatteo88, on 06/16/2009, -2/+9***** is ***** beautiful.
- superman46n2, on 06/16/2009, -1/+8definitions please
- Aliwalla, on 06/16/2009, -0/+7as a writer i'm going to try and use all of these
- Beatmiser, on 06/17/2009, -0/+6Damn, there's one of those words that I would love to steal and make my Digg username.
imbroglio
