My New Favorite Word

My favorite word in the Norwegian language has always been pengepung. It means coin purse, and it is just so much fun to say! Everything changed a couple of nights ago, when I learned a new word that made me laugh out loud: smilehull! It means dimple, but literally translated, it means "smile hole." How cute is that!?! Unfortunately, like pengepung, smilehull is a tough word to fit into everyday conversation...
