Now, without more ado, here goes...
Words with 2 'g's placed consecutively:
There's something wonderfully lively and picturesque about words such as "giggle", "waggle", "wiggle" and "wriggle" (not to forget "piggie"). They seem to represent the actions they stand for and they roll so nicely off the tongue and are really quite pleasant to the ears.Words with 2 'o's placed consecutively: "toodle", "doodle", "coodle", "whoosh", "swoosh"... try saying these words and you'll know what I mean when I call them happy words. Better yet try saying "waggle whoosh" together and the point will really get home.
NOTE: with due apologies to Dipti, I must also include words like "booey", "gooey" and "phooey" here.
The letter 'e': I don't think this one needs any explanation at all!!! eeeeeheeeeeeheeeee
A few more random happy words/phrases from my dictionary: "swish twish", "diddly squat" (this one is actually slang for doing nothing!!!), "pop" as in "pop goes the weasel, "plonk", "oink"!!!
Keep smiling :D
P.S: The title of this blog is another addition to the list of phrases :D

Just a couple of days back, I made the sweeping statement that any person whose surname had two consecutive 'g's had to be Punjabi. Jaggi, Duggal, Aggrawal, etc :D
Are there any words with the same letter three consecutive times? In college, we had a dude whose nickname was Gounderrr, but I don't think that exactly counts.
I'm going to end this comment here, lest you go around calling this DCP - Desperate Comment Participation ;)
Hmpf! Now why isn't boo-ey in that list?
