Hub certainly has a satisfyingly chunky heft to it. I sort of wish it meant something more solid so as to fit with its feel though. Heft is also nice in fact come to think of it.

I'd like it if people explained why they liked their picks so much though. I guess if you give a list of ten words you don't have to explain them all but I don't see why you couldn't pick two or three of your absolute favourites and say why you particularly dig them.

Also, why only three or four letter words? I would like a bit of leeway for longer words, for example a good four letter word is boing which is appealingly springy, but even better is doing which could rhyme with it or could be something else completely. I like a lot of five letter ambiguous words of that nature - polish or is it Polish, and I really hate being misled. One time I saw an advert saying "Rolling Stones live in Hamburg!" - and my first thought was although I'd always assumed most of them reside in London it didn't really need an exclamation mark.
