I love the word "encroyable" which means incredible in French. It's not really the meaning, but it's just so fun to shout out. "Encroyable ! C'est une marveille !"

I love all of the Burgenland (Austria) German slang that I hear when I am out:
leiwand - brilliant, awesome das pack ich nicht (pronounced: des pock i ned) - I don't believe it. der Tschick - cigarette I also enjoy "abartig" (abnormal, "der Film ist abartig gut." "The movie is abnormally(ridiculously) good." and "lächerlich" (ridiculous) (das ist lächerlich! that's ridiculous!) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just love English words that are actually completely random. Among my favorites for some reason are mushroom, factory and implementation. I also like saying 'gibberish'.

desafortunadamente—unfortunately (spanish)
I have no idea why I enjoy saying it so much, just rolls off the tongue I guess. And any Icelandic word with the [tl] (usu. written ll) cluster in it. e.g. þræll 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

quamquam-Latin. It means although, but that's not the point. Say "quamquam" to yourself 10 times and see if it doesn't make you smile a bit.
