    my favorite english words:
    i have a love hate relationship with gastrocnemius. the “c” and “n” are so clunky to say aloud but i also love the word.
    another good one is acetabulum.
    (i study nursing)

    my favorite irish words at the moment as a non-native speaker:
    le chele (it just FEELS like the definition)
    teanga chomharthaíochta (fun to say)
    smugairle róin 🪼
