I once heard it opined that "Elbow" is The most Beautiful word in the English language, not for what it is in object reference, but for how it is perceived in quality, Linguistically. Please tell me your word preference, and why @kNoTeS

What Can’t Be Said

Unspeakably descriptive

A word held in tight

Indeterminably vague

Its utterance is contradiction

Used to describe the horrors

The heinous, the despicable, the tragic

It is unmentionable for everyone

Except the intrepid lexicographers

You can't just go around

Saying what you can't get around

People will run away

For their very lives than say

The word I can't say

Without contradicting myself

Is more than unspeakable, unmentionable, or un-F'able

It's overtly ineffable.
