This reminds me of my high school English teacher (9th & 11th grade) who insisted that
"superfluous" is the most beautiful word in the English language, and made us chant it over
and over.  "Cacophony" was her 2nd favorite.  She seemed to be particularly fond of 4
syllable words with the stress on the 2nd syllable.
