Subject: RE: BS: More words that are fun to say From: Grab Date: 15 Dec 00 - 02:42 PM Someone nearly got this on the last one - "floccinaucinihilipilification". "Fender-bender" (surprisingly, I've yet to see this used about Jimi Hendrix...) "Chortle", since it's the only word from Jabberwocky to have made it into English, and it sounds good. The re-engineered humbucking pickup called the "motherbucker". And of course, the Midlands town of Towcester, pronounced "toaster". Grab. |

Subject: RE: BS: More words that are fun to say From: Little Hawk Date: 15 Dec 00 - 05:14 PM Did anyone mention "dilletante" yet? I also think "rambunctious" sounds pretty funny, and so does "propinquity". And then there's Sylvester Stallone's immortal remark... YO!!! (for when you can't decide whether to say "yes" or "no", and "nes" would sound stupid...) or AAAAAYYYDRIENNNNNN!!!! |
