I don’t know if I think its funny or just love the word but I am rather partial to “Haptodysphoria” which is basically the word to name my fear of velvet.

If I ever use a fake surname, I always choose “Farhquar” because I think that is very funny too.

Pumpernickel, that and kumquat, both of these just beg me to be say them with exaggeration. I don’t know the last time I actually pronounced them correctly.

“Poop” is my favorite as well. My favorite insult is, “go poop your pants” (uh, I’m as mature as an underdeveloped 9-year-old)

“poop cutlet”? That’s wonderful!

You’d have to have been there with me to know why this is funny, but lately I can’t hear it without laughing 'til suffication.
