"Beaujolais" is my very favorite word ever. It has all these universally soothing sounds. Even the m sound is available to it if you begin with a seductive, bilabial hum. mmmmbeaujolais.

As for phrases, whenever anyone says, "Don't underestimate me," I respond quoting the movie LA Confidential: "The way you underestimated Bud White?"

C'est la vie.

Such is life. I love it. And now, thanks to CD, I know how to spell it. The French classes were filled, so I took German in high school, because my best friend was in that class. I wish I had taken Spanish.

I like the word "kartoffelkopf." Herr Kartoffelkopf=Mister Potatohead.
