Do you have a favorite word? Martha’s is mellifluous, which means pleasing to the ear, but goes back to the idea of flowing with honey. If you have a favorite word, take a picture of yourself holding it up and send it in to our Word Wall! This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Mellifluous”
Sometimes people ask me what my favorite word of all time is.
Grant, you probably get this too.
Yeah, definitely.
All I can say is so many words, so little time.
Although I will say that these days I’m partial to the word mellifluous.
Oh, yes.
You know, it means having a beautiful sound.
And it comes from Latin words that mean flowing with honey, like the Spanish word miel, which means honey.
So I’ve told you mine, but we’d like to hear yours.
We’re building a whole wall of words from fellow word lovers at our website, waywordradio.org.
So here’s what we’d like you to do.
Write your favorite word in big, bold letters on a white sheet of paper.
Snap a photo of yourself while holding it up close to your face.
