Words That Convey Their Meaning Perfectly
I was running errands today and I like to listen to the comedy channels on Sirusxm.
John Mulaney used the word "lurk" in such a way during a story that it needed nothing else...I love economy of word usage and it go me thinking. I am at my shop working on small projects in the a/c since the tree pollen Count is Dracula. If I may: Murky. Any others?

To those who do not speak English, the word "diarrhea" sounds beautiful. They guess it is a girl's name.

You should listen to the Finish comedian, Ismo, when he describes his occasional difficulties with mastering English.
