I love...words

My seven favorite words, as of this writing:
acquiesce
aplomb
commence
calavera (Spanish for skull)
diaphanous
luxuriate
tangential

I'm more fond of the way these words sound--the way they roll around in my mouth--than I am of their meaning.  I don't necessarily use these words very often or seek opportunities to say them; rather I squirrelled them away in my memory to use sparingly and for just the right situation.  A week from now my seven favorite words would be slightly different, with maybe two or three remaining. Hmm, maybe I'll do that for next Saturday's post...
