Favourite word

What is your favourite word?

Apparently "mother" has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language:

(An Anglo-Saxon word, I'm pleased to note )

Agree? Disagree?

For centuries to come, when not a soul
Is left to picnic on the blazing rocks,
When England is not England, when mankind
Has blown himself to pieces. Still the sea,
Consolingly disastrous, will return
While the strange starfish, hugely magnified,
Waits in the jewelled basin of a pool.
