Some Favorite German Words

Naturally, as I learn German vocabulary there are some words I love and some I hate. I've been watching a lot of the tv show "Scrubs" lately and I just love how the character Elliot says "mist" all the time. I'm not exactly sure what she says in English, but the general meaning of the word "mist" is along the lines of "shoot, dang-it". Another word I like is "ne", which is a slang way of saying "no". You pronounce it kind of like you were pretending to be a horse. Whenever I come across words I love I try to figure out the reason why I love them, but it is difficult to pinpoint reasons. Sometimes they just flow out of the mouth in a nice way. Sometimes it's the way people say them with emotion.
