Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.
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.
Naw, that one more closely aligns with that really long German word in one of the other posts here.
Always dug the word "queue" you only pronounce the first letter and the rest of them are just waiting in line all tidy.
I also find deque satisfying. Pronounced deck. It is a term in computing referring to a double ended queue.
The word queue is made up of a queue of vowels. It's pronounced exactly the same as its first letter. It's beautiful.
Pretty much any Arabic calligraphy.
I went to a museum in Morocco that was specifically showing Arabic calligraphy in the shape of trees or people or other common objects and was absolutely blown away.
Indelibly printed on my mind.
I saw saw Arabic calligraphy and I was like oh s*** they got the written word correct.

I like how the Arabic word for ape is the same word that they use for monkey, but the artist cleverly drew one with a tail, and one without.
I tried learning Arabic once, because it's such a beatiful language. I wasn't very good at it, but i understand a bit of how it can be such an artistic language.
I really liked listening to the call to prayers they play through the cities, although the first time they played aloud, I was very worried at what sounded like Divine Revelation ridinog through the alleyways while I was walking around, like some Gabriel trumpet s*** breaking the city apart until I realized it was just the call to prayer.
It was this loud rumbling "aaaaaaaaaaaaAaAaAaAAaAAAAAAAA" to begin saying "Allah" and I was very confused and worried for the drawn out 20 seconds or so it took to complete the first syllable.
"Minimum" is quite nice, particularly in calligraphy where it's just a bunch of vertical lines
According to Matt of Stand up maths, minimum is the most satisfying word to type on a keyboard.
Which leads him to do some maths on keyboard based words: https://youtu.be/Mf2H9WZSIyw?si=BYKSOKHktbUkvpjB
This is what I came here to say. A couple of years ago there was a trend on the fountain pen subreddit of videos of people writing minimum. It is quite fun and satisfying to write.
German always looks great.
My favourite?
Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
The most german thing is to read that no problem at the first try. But our language is cheating with the combining words thing.
Dutch does that but there are limits. Four, five, six words smashed together?! Doe normaal! Germans... always going a bit too far.... 😉
Yeah laws or very specialized tools/Maschines can get crazy, but I think our lawmakers are also trolling sometimes with the long titles.
In Romanian, the word "lalelele" is perfectly correct.
Ever since I saw it written down I've been trying to decide if I love it or hate it.
It actually means "the tulips", with the determinate article, like this:
I love the word acquiesce. It just looks classy and elegant (even though the word doesn't mean anything like it)
English:
Spanish:
French:
I like the sound of anything in Spanish with a trilled r.
Like perro 🐶.
Mañana is nice sounding too.
I love the eñe (Ñ) in my mother tongue. And I hate when it gets written and pronounced as N. It's Zoë Saldaña, people!
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).
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.
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.
I like how 看 (kan, to look) is composed of the radical for "hand" over the radical for "eye". It's basically representing someone doing this 🫡 to look at something
