    @alice

    You know the quasi-lingustic "bouba-kiki" experiment?

    I have a pet theory that a lot of appealing words are ones that are somehow a perfect marriage of both "bouba" and "kiki", so that you can't really clearly think of them as one or the other, or at least people will disagree on which one a given word is.

    "hork" is a good example of that!

    @oddtail that's a good theory. I think inherently evocative words are really appealing to me, such as ones that are autological, portmanteau, and/or onamonapia.

    Now I'm wracking my brain for a word that's all three of those—preferably with a good mix of bouba/kiki.

    Edit: I meant autological, not sure why I said hetero-.

      - That smells like porpoise hork.
      - My cat horked up a hairball.
      - The kid sounds like they're horking up a lung.

          Late at night, my cats prefer to hork in the formal dining room, late at night and loudly , ending with a hideous hairball or food.

          HORK

              I've also used hork to mean to steal something.

              Who horked my pencil?

                      I feel like the lung one should be hocking or hacking. Maybe there’s a regional variation.

                                    Words ending with that "-ork" sound in general are usually pretty satisfying to say.

                                    "Horking fork-borked stork pork" for instance.

                                      @alice Ok, now you're just channeling the Swedish Chef (affectionate).

                                          Words ending with that "-ork" sound in general are usually pretty satisfying to say.

                                          "Horking fork-borked stork pork" for instance.
