The word bed looks like a bed.
Always dug the word “queue” you only pronounce the first letter and the rest of them are just waiting in line all tidy.
The word queue is made up of a queue of vowels. It’s pronounced exactly the same as its first letter. It’s beautiful.
Koowéwé
I also find deque satisfying. Pronounced deck. It is a term in computing referring to a double ended queue.
One of my kids is named Ivy and she was the first to learn how to write it because it’s one stick, two sticks, three sticks. Her under 2 year old sister was at the library once and pointed to a book and said “Ivy” and yep, that was on the spine of the book. So I love that word because it made two of my kids understand written language.
That’s the cutest one yet
Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.
That’s very immature but very accurate
There’s nothing immature about boobs, my friend. Quite the opposite in fact.
What I mean is that I laughed about this when I was twelve. I still do, but I also did when I was twelve.
Speaking of which:
When you articulate the word “poop”, your mouth makes the same sequence of shapes your anus does when you poop.
Same with “explosive diarrhea”
When in all lowercase letters the word
bed
Looks like a bed.
A place in California called Zzyzx.
On the way to Vegas! Yes. The desolate exit where a guy can pee when there are no exits for miles.
That’s actually hilarious. I never knew about this until now.
*Please don’t do that. The peeing in public thing. It was a terrible suggestion.
Please respect Zzyzx!
Of course I won’t. I don’t even pee in the streets anyways.
I will respect Zzyzx.
syzygy
Bonus points for no aeiou.
syzygy
Yeah, love it. very similar vibe, with all the y’s.
Also Gypsy, Myth, Glyph
Words where Y is the only vowel are satisfying.
I discovered this word while reading the three body problem and I thought it was made up lol
It was an episode of the X-Files for me
dub
It looks like headphones. Nicely symmetrical.
Hungarian “dob” for drum looks like three drums and two sticks over them
I don’t think there’s any words that “look handsome” though what I was a kid, the first time I read the word “gobbledygook” I could not stop laughing for at least 5 minutes. Then I had to go look it up in a dictionary (because that was the style at the time).
Higgeldy piggeldy
Titties the double tt looks good on cursive.
How about besotten? Are you?
hijinks
Three tittles in a row.
Hey man, nice tittles
Cyrillic cursive takes that shape to an extreme. No tittles though.
cipőfűző
The French really like it for some reason. It means shoelaces in Hungarian.
Cipo means “you pussy” in Polish
Cellar door
Sex
Chinese and Japanese would have so many. My favorite is probably 緑 which means green. I also like the simplified Chinese horse: 马. Special shoutout to 凸 meaning convex, 凹 meaning concave, and 凸凹 meaning bumpy (not sure if this is true in Chinese). There’s thousands to choose from so of course there are a lot of other handsome one-character words, but those are the first few I thought of.
