I like that word, it just rolls off the tongue like thick chocolate. Actually I was going to say it rolls off the tongue like velvet, but why would velvet be on my tongue? Chocolate is more likely to be on my tongue, however it would have little chance of rolling off.
This word describes me, well according to my children it does.
niggardly, blackly, literally.
