The best word in the German language is |Glck. It roughly is the intersection of happiness and luck and joy.

Glck

However this wonderful congregation of positive meanings in itself would not propel the word to it's status as the best word in the German language. No.

It is its sound that elevates it above the mere clutter of Spa or Freude. It is a pure soft guttural bubble ascending from deep within. It is very close in sound to Gluck, which Germans use to describe the sound of swallowing a drink. However, whereas Gluck arches down, Glck bends upwards.

If I had a microphone I'd record a sample for you, unfortunally for now, for those of you who don't know German, your imagination will have to do.
prmfff:
Frohe Weihnachten

und viel Glck...
