BanjoDan says,

I like to hear and pronounce the word "Salmonella." It has a musical quality and sounds like an ice cream flavor. The definition however is: "Salmonella is closely related to the Escherichia genus and are found worldwide in cold- and warm-blooded animals (including humans), and in the environment. They cause illnesses like typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and the foodborne illness."

PJ27 says,

Flabbergasted -- the word says it all!

catsmeow says,

detritus and posthumous, for the sound of them, not the meaning. We could get some interesting six-words from these lovely entries, ie:
Posthumously realized the detritus had salmonella.
How many of these entries can you use in one six-word?

catsmeow says,

I keep trying to enter a six-word that uses five of these words and it thinks it's spam. Guess that'll show me. I will try to sneak it in here: Wildebeest eschews papaya. Fortuitously finds pfeffernusse.
