About my conlang Vling, maybe I just like the word 'bog'. My other favourite English words are 'whirligig', 'tumbleweed', 'serendipity', 'gargoyle', 'jelly', 'storm', 'ambiance', 'steampunk', 'logogram', 'gazebo', and 'thistle'.
Amongst conlangs in general, I would really prefer something like my Xoqolat, which is still a prototype. It is a Lojbanic Latinate language, which should really have omnipredicativity like Classical Nahuatl (Aztec) of Mexico. It means that any noun or verb in the language is, in fact, a full predicative sentence, such as "Xōchitl" (It is a flower) or "Xocolātl" (It is chocolate) in Classical Nahuatl. (Lojban is somewhat like Classical Nahuatl in this way.) My Xoqolat alludes to the movie Chocolat starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. (The Spanish word chocolatería is a favourite. One pronounces the 'X' in 'Xoqolat' like the 'sh' in 'shy'.)
