Following are some words that I just think are fun sounding. Definitions courtesy of Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary
- fjord

- segue
- 1 : proceed to what follows without pause -- used as a direction in music
- 2 : perform the music that follows like that which has preceded -- used as a direction in music
As an aside, I was telling one of my friends about my enjoyment of segue.
She found it extremely amusing that I could remember the first time I heard that word. Well, for her and your amusement, here's that story:
In the spring of 1999, I worked as an intern on the morning show at WHFS (no, I cannot get you HFStival tickets). I can't remember the exact day, but I had a conversation with one the DJs, Kathryn Lauren about seques. She was telling me that it's an important thing in radio. In radio, segues are the act of moving flawlessly from one thing to the next, like from a song to a commercial. Some of this is automated now, but a lot of it is still left to the control of the DJ. Kathryn Lauren is a seque master. Lou Brutus, the ex-host of the WHFS morning show (and the DJ I primarily worked for) was also an excellent seguer.
