Funny Words


Did you ever look at a word intently and just realize it looks funny?


Or is there a word that sounds funny to you no matter what context it is used in?


English is an odd language...lets just see how odd!

Hey Dylan,

I see you are approaching 1,000 posts.

I'm working on a list of suggestions for possible titles once you hit the big number. Of course, ultimately the title is your choice, but I'm SURE you'll love what I've come up with

Crotch is a funny word.  Aluminum or indubitally are funny sounding words, or just plan hard to say!

Squeegee looks and sounds funny, and quartz rolls off the tounge in a peculiar way.

I just used "quirky" in another thread, that one fits it's description.  Obo is another odd word, and the sound it produces fits.  I like that sound.


And trousers!  I'm glad we call them pants now.  Trousers sound like clothes your mother forces you to wear.

When I was in theater in high school, one of our warm up exercises was: "It was indubitally and abominable eccentricity."
