I think The Book of Lists lists diaphanous one of the most beautiful words in the English language.

I really like onamonapia (A word that phonetically imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes. Onomatopoeia refers to the property of such words. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises such as "oink," "meow," "roar," or "chirp."). It's so lyrical-sounding, kinda Hawaiian.
How about megaprosopous? It's the quality of having a large face. I remember seeing a closeup of Jason Robards face to face with a much more diminutive actress, and he put some teeth in the term.
And finally, one of my favorites: sussuration. Its meaning is just like its sound.

rill \ˈril\ noun; a very small brook
On the tape one can see the pink tangle that served as the amphibian's head quite clearly for about ten seconds, and a number of rapidly liquefying red lumps strewn along its length; one can see what appears to be filthy seafoam sweating out of the thing's tail and running across the concrete in a sluggish rill.
