I do enjoy the word obfuscation, only because it's one of those that, if you try to say it too quickly, it sounds even odder.

Tender. My friend hates that word. She cringes whenever I order chicken tenders at Friendly's. Hehhe.


What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

My favorite word (today) is "defenestrate", and one of my favorte chuckle-busters is "onomatopoeia".


Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Discombobulated is fun. And Twinkie always sounded dirty to me.

Wait, Jailyard, do you like the word itself or actual onomotopoeiaic words?

The word itself. I LOVE saying it...as we wine freaks say, it's got a great mouthfeel. re: Words that Amuse You Actual onomatopoeic words are generally rather dull. I mean, who ever got excited over "buzz"?

thwack, plop.
The word 'flesh' really bothers me.

The only word that really amuses me is "about". Only when said by Canadians.

Duty. Seeing it written isn't a big deal, but hearing it spoken sounds ridiculous...especially considering how "important" the concept is. I can't say "do your duty" with a straight face. It makes me think of a child on a potty chair...
