I've always liked saying the word "speckled." My mother first used it to describe a little pebble, a little bigger than a marble, lying near the water on the beach when I was maybe four or five (I don't have many memories from that far back, but this one's pretty vivid). Every time I say the word, I can almost feel the little stone on my tongue. I mean, I didn't put it in my mouth at the time or anything, but it's like the word carries that pebble with it now.
