Frank Martiniq has a track called " cellar door " that I really liked , but always thought it was a very strange kinda mediocre track name until I later discovered its usage in Donnie Darko.krs wrote:hehemany colored grass wrote:I got it immediately.krs wrote: DID ANYONE ELSE GET THIS?And it is a beautiful English phrase, with or without the movie.
It's the first thing that came to mind after reading this thread.
Wiki says "The English compound noun cellar door (especially in its British pronunciation of /sɛləˈdɔə/) is commonly used as an example of a word or phrase which is beautiful in terms of phonaesthetics (i.e., sound) with no regard for semantics"
My favourite word is maybe Rhythmic , but i've been using diminuitive quite a lot lately.
