In any language, any one of us has certain words or phrases they like to say.

For me, in English, that includes “bedazzled” and “thingamagick” among others.

Howrver, is there some kind of overarching expression for these words? I can’t think of anything in English or my native German, and a quick Internet search didn’t find anything.

    We could always make one up. Zungenfreude, tongue joy.

    Der Spruch „Vielseitig” hat mir immer Zungenfreude bereitet.

    Saying “versatile” always gave me tongue-joy.

    Edit: it’s pronounced “tsoong-en-froy-duh”
