There's a few words or combinations of words that I've come across in the last 1.75 years that I really like. It's not that I like their meanings. I just like the way they sound. Here's a sampling:
Herpetic whitlow (when herpes simplex virus becomes embedded under the skin on the fingers or toes. It can then be transmitted just by touching someone with the involved digit.)
Transient pyrexia (I just found this one today. Pyrexia means fever.)
Blastomycosis, Coccidiodomycosis, etc... I really liked most of the names of the fungal infections we learned about in micro.
I know there's more, but I can't seem to pull them out of my head right now.
