Fun words?

[Tarnag40k]

Anyone find any words that are fun to just say?

I know it may sound wierd but I think there is enough of us that are insane enough to know what I mean.

Personally I find words like Dirka, Banjo, Raa, Nar, fun.

[MrEdwardNigma]

Happenstance. Cellardoor. Slug. Ceddar. Cinnamon. One could make a pretty decent poem like this.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Hiccup, even more funnier to try and say it while you have it.

[reorith]

pretty much every weird term i learned in art
also, burnish, and fabricate.

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

I personally like antidisestablishmentarianism.

[MrEdwardNigma]

Lubricant. Worchester. Devonshire. Pettycoat. Gelatinous Cube Of Doom. :smallbiggrin:

If I make another post in this thread, it's gonna be a poem written entirely in "pretty words".

[EndgamerAzari]

I've always found 'box' to be fun. Box, bawks, bocz, bauqs....

And 'haberdasher'. Archaic terminology FTW.

[Dr. Bath]

Tarradiddle, squamous, calloo, callay. And huzzah! of course. Especially at inopportune moments.

[Sewer_Bandito]

I always have fun saying "tippacanoe and tyler too!"

[JessSoccer]

Discombobulate, chimichanga (brownie for the reference!), zoinks

[Dihan]

I quite like defenestrate.

[Dihan]

I quite like defenestrate.

[thubby]

stutter when you think about it, what sicko decided to name the disorder something no one with that disorder can ever say?

soliloquy, so fun to say
soliloquysoliloquysoliloquy

[evisiron]

Yes, I got here with it first!

"Stew" :mitd:

[Attilargh]

One could make a pretty decent poem like this.
You'll probably love Lemon Demon's song Word Disassociation (http://wiki.illemonati.com/Word_Disassociation).

Whoa.... trippy. Here's a video of it:

[Jibar]

Pretty much all the words Deadpool picks as fun to say.
Those writers must sit there with a dictionary just going through it.

[Gaelbert]

Sesquipedalion is also a good one. So is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I got asked what pulchretudinous meant in a vocabulary championship thingy. It meant "pretty."

[MisterSaturnine]

Saturnine (of course), smock (Calvin and Hobbes!), disassociate, most yiddish words (schmegeggie is a personal favorite), macabre, chagrin, erudite, mumble, and squid are some of my personal favorites.

[Tirian]

phenomenon, disingenuous, rigmarole, brouhaha, thingamajig

[†Seer†]

Lighto! (Been watching Death Note, stuck in my head hehe).


Also... Baluga, followed by shfifteen.


*shrugs* Nothing too fancy from me.

[Mauve Shirt]

Lighto! (Been watching Death Note, stuck in my head hehe).

Superfluous, odsbodkins (I still use it!), gargantuan

[Zarrexaij]

I could go on forever

[Milanius]

Zarre dear, that is a list with mucho sad words :( I demand "Buttgrab" to be in there, damnit!

Fun words in English [and perhaps Spanish?], hmmm.

Cranium
Fiasco
Fiesta
Hola!
Rectum
Muffin
Huggle [yes, I conceder it a word, deal with it]
Fudge
Wiggle
Thrust
Pelvic
Beer [now there's a fun word <3]
Nuts
Bollocks

I'll edit this post as I remember more fun words.

[Dragonrider]

zilch. "Park the car in Harvard yard" with a Boston accent (which my grampa has so we always make him say it) :smallbiggrin:.

Another cruel irony is the word "lisp". I acquired one briefly when I had my wisdom teeth out, and did you notice that people with one can't say it?

Photoatomic transomgobulating yectofantriplutonic zanziptomizer.
So what if I read Captain Underpants? :smallbiggrin:

None of those are regular in my vocabulary. These are (mostly because I love saying them):

ergo
superfluous
facetious
Pharisaical
harass (I love alternating between hair-ess and har-ass just to make people wonder)
dispensation
conglomerate
fictictious
anthropomorphic
transcendental
lyrical
ginormous
concomitantly
alliteration
vicarious
molasses

The last because it sounds JUST like what it describes.

...I think I have a fondness for big words.

[Redpieper]

Discombobulate, chimichanga (brownie for the reference!), zoinks

Deadpool?

Ah the thread, hmm I quite like rowdy and pudding. :smallamused:

[Archangel Yuki]

Glomp.

>.> <.< >.>

*Glomps people*

Yay Glomp!

[Orzel]

"Goo"

hehehe "goo"

"Ooze" double o's rock

[Icewalker]

I personally like antidisestablishmentarianism.

Beat me to it. :smallmad: Honestly, who knows that word! :smallwink:

Let's see...

Also, anything in latin. Ie Ultima Ratio Regum.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Hmmm...In my youth, we would often use words improperly, especially when contenmplating bad pickup lines. "Hey, baby. You're looking struthious. Wanna absquatulate with me?" That I've told the girl she looks ostrich-like and asked her to decamp with me means little, compared to that odd look you get using such words. :smallbiggrin:

[LCR]

Mureinesacculus.
Chloramphenicol.

[V Junior]

Ninja is a good one, but I always say it 'nija', which sounds even cooler.

[Jalor]

:elan: "Groggy is a fun word to say. Groggy groggy groggy groggy grog-"
*falls*

[Gem Flower]

Damn it, Jalor! You beat me to it!:smallfurious: Oh well.

[MrEdwardNigma]

You'll probably love Lemon Demon's song Word Disassociation (http://wiki.illemonati.com/Word_Disassociation).

Yeah, I was already aware of that one, Attilargh.

I just dropped in to say "Spiffy". can't believe I forgot about that one. Also, it seems I'll be obliged to make a poem out of these pretty words now. Boop.

[Gungnir]

"Seks" has always been a favorite of mine, though it's not really a word.

[Winter_Wolf]

Yup'ik words, but where I grew up in Alaska, everyone used them. Everyone. If you live in southwest AK and don't know the words after a couple of weeks, you're generally considered "slow".
Akutak: (ah-koo-tuck) berries mixed with crisco/lard and sugar
Waqaa: (wuh-Kah) "What's up?"
Kayak: (Really, do you NOT know this word?)
Ikiituk (vaguely like icky-took): a kind of wild celery, to this day I cannot remember the English word for the plant, but I know it has one.
Maqui'i: (very gutteral 'muh-khey'. If your throat hurts after saying it, you probably said it right.) Steam bath, sauna.
Mukluk: (muck-luck) a type of footwear

And words we (mostly) know:
Caustic
Acerbic
Scintillating (my personal favorite)
Scree
Ablution
Doodle
Halibut
Bruschetta (though I'm sure I say it wrong)
Frictative
splatter, smack, whack
Onomatopoeia

[MrEdwardNigma]

"Seks" has always been a favorite of mine, though it's not really a word.

How is that not really a word? In my language, it definitely is. :smallconfused:

[MattKatt]

My 3 favorite words to say are Squid, Jumble and Cth'ulhu

Also, any word with an "x" or harsh "k" sound in it

[Dragonrider]

veni, vidi, veci. :smallbiggrin:

[Shraik]

Montage, Mirage, Pho Ph'eahian(creature in Star Wars), Hodgepodge, Tintinabulation, Coconut, Nigh, Arbitrary.

Alot of Jewish Words(Idk how to spell them:smallfrown:)

[Arioch]

Nevertheless. Silicon. Mellifluous. Ideate (turns out that's a real word, meaning "have an idea"). Serendipity.

[LadyJo]

Hypotenuse
Spork
Perpendicular
Parcheesi!
Rawr
Meep
chortle
:smallsmile:

[Gungnir]

How is that not really a word? In my language, it definitely is. :smallconfused:

Would you look at that, it is actually a word in some languages. As far as me and my friends go, it's a corruption of "sex", and is generally used as "seksi" (sexy). Most common way to use it is "That's a seksi x", where x is an article of clothing. The gag is that we're talking over IM, and can't see each other.

[LadyJo]

oooh, I forgot some
Hyperbole
Synthesis
Antithesis
Simile

[MrEdwardNigma]

Waxing and waning moon, oblivious,
as scorching sentries stroll,
along silken shores.
Macabre waltzes,
floating, soaring
to a Lovecraftian cacophony,
a transcendental brouhaha,
bellowing drums in the deep.
Lone nightwatchmen,
blades jagged and notched,
dash down flight after flight,
fluttering, as if in flight.
Apocalypse is nigh,
convergence of the stratosphere,
in one dazzling blow.
Nightwatchmen stumble,
blatantly blunder,
thud down treads.
Cellardoor.
Cedar.
Cinnamon.
Clash.
Horrors whacked.
Antidisestablishmentarian demons doomed.
Dread Gazebo smacked.
Cth'ulhu thwarted.
Silence now. Sanity, at last.

There, the poem I felt compelled to write. It's not very good, as it's largely improvisional, and I forced myself not to use "the" too much because I have a strong dislike of that word, and in a poem with "pretty words" you're just not allowed to use those. I also tried to avoid using large quantities of non-pretty words.

So, is it spiffy?

:smallbiggrin: beautiful.

I think I'm gonna make my own.....

HEY ANOTHER GREAT WORD!!!!

[MrEdwardNigma]

That's exactly what it means in my language.

Oh, and thanks Dragonrider :smallsmile:

Ah the thread, hmm I quite like rowdy and pudding. :smallamused:

*hands out brownie*

[Dragonrider]

That's exactly what it means in my language.

Oh, and thanks Dragonrider :smallsmile:

OK, this is mine:


“Veni, vidi, vici”
Alliteratively Caesar proclaims
O Julius! Your transcendental stratagem
Your modus operandi
Your vociferous ensconcement
Is lyrical to us all
With great finesse
Staring down your aquiline nose
Articulating your archaic dispensation
We feel superfluous
In the face of your draconian ego
Living vicariously
Through your placebo
The scintillating facsimile
Sequestered, clandestine


“I came, I saw, I conquered”
Eternally Caesar declares
Above the cacophony
Of we sordid Anglo-Saxon masses
Supplicating him
Vehemence in their limpid eyes
With supreme disdain
He does not acquiesce
Slow as molasses
Citing the precedent
Of the aforementioned motive
His seething soliloquy
Ardently made
Does not capitulate
Acerbic through eons of schisms and scree

Now Caesar’s sepulcher
Stands degenerate and contrite
Before the syphilis that once harassed
A macabre convergence
Of weird and world—
Anthropomorphically intact
To stand before the great conglomerate
Yet concomitantly
Your appellation to all eternity
Will not be forgot
Convoluted though it seems
To the naked eye
Embittered though we be
Turgid, torrid, and forlorn—
“Veni, vidi, vici”



Ummmm...I'm not sure what it means.
It has too many syllables.
But I find myself rather fond of it.

[PaladinFreak]

Portmanteau
Sinusoid
Raunchy
Reprehensible
Brobdingnagian
Trinitrotoluene

That just about covers it for me.

[Castaras]

Defenestrate.

Yoink. (Force Yoinking was mentioned on a thread like this...Which made me burst out laughing :smallbiggrin: )

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

[MrEdwardNigma]

That last one was mentioned already, Cassie :smallsmile:

Oh, and nice poem, Dragonrider!

[Gem Flower]

I say this word a couple times a day, and it's Italian, but salve and I say Casa now and then. And, of course, scusi. I can't believe I forgot about them in my earlier list. It completely didn't occur to me to use my three most-used words from my own language! I love those little words that I owe so much to. Think about it. How well could you people get on without the words "the" and "hello"? Not very well, I expect.

[Emperor Ing]

"nub" and "GYHAWHAWHAWHAW" are my favorites. :smallamused:

[North]

Trampoline or trambopolous. Yarr. Poughgepsie. Swish. Eh? Beer.

These are a few of my favorite words.

[Dragonrider]

contemporary
permeate
integrate
braeburn (as in the apple)
Massachusetts
colloquialism
graham (cracker)

[Em Blackleaf]

I like the words jubilation, potato, heliocentric, haywire, balloon, onomatopoeia, and so on.

Shinigami is a fun word, too. Even though it's the Japanese personification of death. :smalltongue:

[Bag_of_Holding]

I like the word 'Library', and am yet to see anyone pronouncing that right. I can't either :smallredface:

[blakyoshi7]

Boing.

Cause if it is, I choose that.
