Mine seems to be 'Huddersfield', a place I've never even come close to being in, but since my ex was from there my mind annoyingly highlights it every single time it's encountered... before then I had never even heard of it, of course (supposedly - more a psychological bias).

Paddock.


Paddock- A fence enclosing horses.

It's just so relaxing to say. I got it from William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

After some thought I decided the word I just love is "globule", meaning a blob of something. Maybe because I once saw Super Grover on Sesame Street try to help a little girls whose bag of groceries broke open on the street by taking some glue he had brought with him and offering to glue all the groceries together, and then take them home "in one big globule". Which is a very funny word to hear on Sesame Street, especially from Grover. :)

I used to love reading or hearing 'globule' (as in a globule of fat) during science class!

It reminds me of 'dollop' for some reason. I can't decide whether I hate or love that word, but it gets stuck in my head.
