Whimsical
Whimsical is one of my favorite words and I love when I am able to use it in daily conversation. It rolls off of the tongue in a smooth manner, and is just all around "fun" to say.
I almost posted "whimsical" as my word of choice but then saw that you had the same taste. "Whimsical" sort of does sound like its meaning and conjures such wonderful images. Nice choice.
It's even kinda' autological, too, huh?
ReplyDeleteThere's a sort of whimsy in just pronouncing all the word's soft consonants.
