    Mine's bivouac, for no other reason other than I think it roles of the tongue nicely;

    'nice' now there's an overly used word.

    "Combination" is pretty good.
    As is "Vibe". Oh, also "Doug".

    Sesquipedalian.

    It's one of those rare words that perfectly describes itself.

    I also love onomatopaeic words, like 'fizzle', 'wallop' and 'clash'.

    Ooh, I like it..... I like English languagey words; hyperbole, homophone, pronoun, and oddly enough, onomatopaeia :D

    Onomatopaeia and Discombobulated are both excellent!

    Cathedral is always the first that springs to mind for me. Spatula has a nice ring to it, never get to use it though, I call spatulas 'flippers'.

    Some others which are cropping up; Loop and Luna. Hydrogen. Simplicity.
