I still remember the first time I heard this word. I was amazed by the fact that there was a word for such concept — 6 simple letters could convey all the freedom and speed of such revolutionary action. Originally, it was just a variant of "to stretch", but thanks to the natural semantic changes of natural languages, it's not acquired its supreme meaning. How could I grow up speaking a language with no word to express this!?

Thanks to this word we can talk about how great it is to streak. No words could describe this, other than "streak" itself.
I'm tired and I seriously need some sleep. |

Flux.

Lush.
Both very aesthetically pleasing to say. |

so much so you have multiples, mr jdat ?
I dunno really. There's so many words, and some which might sound nice probably have meanings so they don't get the attention they deserve.
cookie is a cool one. it's a word that sounds like what it is. Intensive also works in that manner.
