Words that make me laugh

[weaktwos]

The english language has a number of words that just sound funny, or are funny to say.

Some of them, in my opinion, are:
pantaloons
bloomers
doubloons
fink
maroon (just about anything *oon*)
flabbergast
plunk
piddle
filch
wheeze


And I just learned filibeg, which is Scottish, but fun, anyway.

So, what about you? Do you have any words in your repertoire that amuse you just by their sound?

filibuster is a good one too -- always makes me think of gaseous discharge...which in a way, it is

Mainly because it's purpetrated by a bunch of old farts in Congress? yeah.

heh, yeah -- think I read somewhere (on the web?) that half their electric bill goes to the ventalation system -- must get pretty bad in there at times...

doily - it's fun to say!

[weaktwos.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah.

Doily and sniff combine to make "doily sniffer", which is also quite funny.
