The French really like it for some reason. It means shoelaces in Hungarian.
Cipo means “you pussy” in Polish
Preposterous. Sounds hilarious, and looks/sounds very sophisticated in a good way.

Three tittles in a row.
Cyrillic cursive takes that shape to an extreme. No tittles though.
Hey man, nice tittles
dub
It looks like headphones. Nicely symmetrical.
Hungarian “dob” for drum looks like three drums and two sticks over them
Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.
That’s very immature but very accurate
No, I’d say it’s fully cooked.
Speaking of which:
When you articulate the word “poop”, your mouth makes the same sequence of shapes your anus does when you poop.
Found the commenter who poops on a mirror.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
You don’t have a poop mirror?
Same with “explosive diarrhea”
Naw, that one more closely aligns with that really long German word in one of the other posts here.
There’s nothing immature about boobs, my friend. Quite the opposite in fact.
What I mean is that I laughed about this when I was twelve. I still do, but I also did when I was twelve.

Chinese and Japanese would have so many. My favorite is probably 緑 which means green. I also like the simplified Chinese horse: 马. Special shoutout to 凸 meaning convex, 凹 meaning concave, and 凸凹 meaning bumpy (not sure if this is true in Chinese). There’s thousands to choose from so of course there are a lot of other handsome one-character words, but those are the first few I thought of.
I like how 看 (kan, to look) is composed of the radical for “hand” over the radical for “eye”. It’s basically representing someone doing this 🫡 to look at something
Pretty much any Arabic calligraphy.
I went to a museum in Morocco that was specifically showing Arabic calligraphy in the shape of trees or people or other common objects and was absolutely blown away.
Indelibly printed on my mind.
I saw saw Arabic calligraphy and I was like oh s*** they got the written word correct.
I tried learning Arabic once, because it’s such a beatiful language. I wasn’t very good at it, but i understand a bit of how it can be such an artistic language.
I really liked listening to the call to prayers they play through the cities, although the first time they played aloud, I was very worried at what sounded like Divine Revelation ridinog through the alleyways while I was walking around, like some Gabriel trumpet s*** breaking the city apart until I realized it was just the call to prayer.
It was this loud rumbling “aaaaaaaaaaaaAaAaAaAAaAAAAAAAA” to begin saying “Allah” and I was very confused and worried for the drawn out 20 seconds or so it took to complete the first syllable.

I like how the Arabic word for ape is the same word that they use for monkey, but the artist cleverly drew one with a tail, and one without.
Very cool find, I would not have noticed that unless you mentioned it.
Thanks
Strix is cool. I like saying it.
Silly rabbit, Strix are for kids!
Strix are for skids!
I like the way ‘crisp’ sounds. It starts in the back of your mouth and ends at your lips.

The word
dumb
is almost perfectly symmetrical, at least d and b are, and i really like it. Depends on the typeface of course.
You can have a perfectly symmetrical set of letters by writing “dunb” but that’s not a word
Wouldn’t it need to be “dunp”?
No, p is like a d that was rotated 180°, whereas b is like a d that was flipped horizontally.
Though i do now realize that the same is true for u and n, my mistake, still looks neat

I like the sound of anything in Spanish with a trilled r.
Like perro 🐶.
Mañana is nice sounding too.
I love the eñe (Ñ) in my mother tongue. And I hate when it gets written and pronounced as N. It’s Zoë Saldaña, people!

I love the word acquiesce. It just looks classy and elegant (even though the word doesn’t mean anything like it)
“Minimum” is quite nice, particularly in calligraphy where it’s just a bunch of vertical lines
According to Matt of Stand up maths, minimum is the most satisfying word to type on a keyboard.
Which leads him to do some maths on keyboard based words: https://youtu.be/Mf2H9WZSIyw?si=BYKSOKHktbUkvpjB
This is what I came here to say. A couple of years ago there was a trend on the fountain pen subreddit of videos of people writing minimum. It is quite fun and satisfying to write.
