Funny Words...or the Profound Things People Think about when They Don't Feel Well

Have you ever noticed some words are just plain funny? Like, squid, for instance. Say it out loud. Squid. Ha ha ha ha. Squid. Squid. Squid.

Since I adore lists I've come up with a list of hilarious words. In order to get full enjoyment out of them, be sure to say them out loud. (Especially if you're alone in public, there's nothing like adding a nice element of awkwardness or embarrassment to instigate the giggles.)

1. rancid (This one is good in cringing humor.)

2. chicken (Say it fast and repeatedly.)

3. superfluous (This one is really funny because superfluous is a superfluous word)

4. addled (Especially when combined with brains, which is also a funny word. AAAAAH my brains are addled!)

5. nostril (Any sentence with the word nostril in it is automatically funny.)

6. swine (A seriously good insult in comedy.)

7. pulchritude (The judge of the beauty pageant was surrounded by pulchritude.)

8. piddle (My bunny piddled on the begonias.)

9. pilfer (No one can take you seriously when you say things like "Hey! Who pilfered my juice?")

10. squish (Squishing something is funny, squashing something is gross. It's the subtle nuances that matter.)
