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.

Neil Simon says words with a "K" in them are always funny.

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

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

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

Posted: 8/10/04 at 11:49am

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

[JailyardGuy]

Posted: 8/10/04 at 11:50am

The word itself. I LOVE saying it...as we wine freaks say, it's got a great mouthfeel. 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.

Republican. I just don't understand it!

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...
