Writer's Block: It Sounds Better When You Say It

[Error: unknown template qotd]
My favorite, ever since I started learning the language, is sacapuntas (pencil sharpener in Spanish), since it sounds so very much like it ought to be a swear.

I also really like the construction of pez and pescado; pez is a live fish, and pescado means literally "the fished" -- that is, what you eat.
