As a mountaineer I enjoy the word "cwm". Sounds like it should nasty but in reality it's just Welsh for cirque.
-
How do you pronounce that, is it something like "coom" ?
I can totally get why it would sound gross

Exactly.

Even better, the Welsh political party called Cumrag

That’s the only word in the (American) English language that uses w as a vowel (I hope British English has a stronger Welsh influence, but I can’t say). If you learned “and sometimes y and w” as part of your vowels, that’s the reason why.

It's not the only one (there's also Crwth and Pwn)
-
Ah, pwn came after I learned that, but crwth is new for me!
