Slaw is not a terrible word slaw is a great word! Slaw is one of the words that the more you say slaw the more you love the word slaw.

Someone needs to make a horror movie about a homicidal cabbage farmer and call it Slaw. I'm already excited for Slaw 2.

Well actually I think I never really spoke the words, but I used to read it that way in my head until it hit me and it was all ldo.

I agree. And so does someone else:

Congress consists of one third, more or less, scoundrels; two thirds, more or less, idiots; and three thirds, more or less, poltroons. - H. L. Mencken

Voluptuous.

It is not just great to say; it has the feeling of being just the right sounding word given the definition.

Wench.

When you combine the above words - Voluptuous Wench; you are not only entering the world of worthwhile words, the phase just rolls deliciously off the tongue, as it should given what it describes so beautifully.
