chillax
As a Japanese person, all the words that include both of the letters "L" and "R" such as "library" and "literal" sound cool to me, since it seems almost impossible for me to pronounce them properly.
But I would like to say my favorite English word is "chillax", a slang word made of the words "chill" and "relax". I learned it from my American online friend and thought it's so kakkoii! (And I guess I really need to chillax sometimes.)
Oh by the way, I just registered here today and this is my very first post. Although I'm not a student, I've been learning English online and have been really enjoying it. It takes me kinda long time to read the posts written in English here but I'll gambaru yo! 窶堙ｦ窶堙ｫ窶堋ｵ窶堋ｭ窶堙仰〜ﾂ！m(_ _)m *bow

Read this poem aloud:
Cargoes
Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.
Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds, Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.
Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal, Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.
John Masefield (1878-1967)
A triumph of sound and rhythm over content.

Is there a thread called 'What is your favourite hieroglyph?'
...In every language I love long words.
My favourite English ones:
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters).
Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters).
Aristophanes invented:
Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypo-
trimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepi-
kossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephallio-
kigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon (183 letters).
James Joyce invented:
Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronn-
tuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk (100 letters).
I also like 1970 Pepsi advertisement:
Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastinmotivatin-
goodbuzzincooltalkinhighwalkinfastlivinevergivincoolfizzin.
Several my favourite place names:
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturi-pukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (85 letters). It is a hill in New Zealand.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 letters). It is a town in Wales.
Enough for now...

Wow! Those are actual words 
a little too long for me...
My favorite english word would be "dysphoria", "dystopia", "utopia", and
"anthrax" okay some of those word's meanings aren't so cheerful But I like how they sound when you say them.
Also, generally speaking any word with the letter A is word I like... I also like names with A in them....
