Favorite word submitted by dangermouses
She sent a really cool explanation as to why this is her favorite word :)

Cwtch
(cuh-tch; cu as in cut and utch as in hutch) -noun.
Welsh word for an affectionate hug or cuddle. There’s no literal English translation, but its nearest equivalent is ‘safe place’, usually used to refer to cubby hole or a hiding place. So if you give someone a cwtch, you’re giving them a ‘safe place’.
In our house, the cupboard under the stairs (before it became known as Harry’s Room, because we’re a book family) was called the cwtch. I only found out the cuter definition of the word when I went to university in Wales, and my friends would often sooth away a bad mood with a good film and a communal cwtch on the couch.
That’s why it’s my favourite word. And because supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is hard to spell and/or define.

The website I got these next few from is really really cool :)
Maybe I should’ve rephrased this so that it said comfort instead of pride? I dunno though that might be straying from the translation….  idk

I’ve seen this on polyvore before… idk if there’s one like this floating around on tumblr somewhere.  I rephrased it a lot so that’s why it’s a different definition than the source.

I’m not 100% sure where I first saw this so I don’t have a specific source.  It’s just kind of a commonly known phobia.
