Musicians know this word as a way of making beautiful sound, though some Baroque specialists do without it.

Do you know a word that or phrase that sounds naughty but isn't?  Suggest away by sending it to "queenofthemorn@gmail.com." If I use your item, I will send you a non-naughty treat from the Prize Closet.
