I always loved the German word Ausgeihtsiechnet- not exactly sure of spelling any more, but phonetically - aus gate sike net.

It means excellent and just rolls off the tongue.

Viola is a great word no one knows how to spell. Everyone thinks phonetic and it comes out "waa-la." If they see it they pronounce it "vee-ola" like the musical instrument sounds. Crazy Frenchies! :lol:
