The most beautiful word in the English language...

According to the folks down at Dictionary.com, the most euphonious phrase in the english language is...
[INDENT]Cellar Door[/INDENT]
Yep, thats right cellar door. Say it out loud. Feel the words leave your lips. Feels nice doesnt it?
Now I was as suprised as I expect you are (unless youve read the article, in which case you wont be very surprised -_-). And I was wondering what TSRs favourite word/ phrase was. What do you think is the most beautiful word in the english language?

onomatopoeia!

But, to be fair, 'cellar door' does come out very nicely.

I assume it's 'cellar door' because of the sounds it makes? Trying to work out what features in particular make it so :holmes:

But isn't cellar door 2 words?

I actually think "beautiful" is a beautiful word.
If you say it admirably to a girl (not cheesy) her heart will melt. It's an impact word if you think about it.
