Yeah, anything with the word **monkey** in it. Such as **Rug-monkey** or **drunk as a fuckin’ monkey.** Also: **swank** **jiggy** **snork** **buddy** -said the way David Spade does. **funky** **pig** -like when I call my girlfriend “peeg”. We have a strange, custom-made relationship. **unswallow** **bunghole** **charmin** -as in don’t squeeze **pork** **dildo** I shall think of more and return. ps- remember… * * * Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. ---

I didn’t have any till I read Rose’s post, so I’m snitching hers!! \*\*My mom has a made-up word for the dog bombs in the back yard: Scoop-doody. She ususally uses it as a noun, as in ‘don’t step in the scoop-doody’ or ‘look at all the scoop-doody’. Cracks me up every time. \*\* Rose 😃 ‘scoop-doody’ \* Now THAT’s funny! \* * * * “Please Disregard the Following.” ---

Two that get me chuckling are melee and piffle. Piffle is particularly effective because people don’t think it is a real word and I usually get to look it up and read the definition, which makes me laugh even more. * * * inconceivable? i don’t think that word means what you think it does ---

One time when my Dad was lecturing me on something he say with the straightest of faces,“I don’t give a RATS BANANA what you were thinking…” At first I just smiled, then I chuckled and after that it was over. I was literally on the ground laughing. My dad could only stand there whishing he had said something else, cause by the look on his face I could tell he thought it was funny too. Ever since then when ever I hear some one say Rats Banana (which is seldom) I think of that and just laugh out loud. * * * Thats the truth and anyone who has heard otherwise has been misinformed. ---

I have memories of a long-ago family trip to the Rockies. My family tortured me by causing me to lose it every time one of them turned to me and said: **"Bottom butt hindquarters"** I found a postcard this morning that they sent me years and years letter, with this message encoded using the first letters of each word. As in: But Other Times, Tom Offered Mary… You get the point. Still makes me smile. ---

Boris just gave me another word that cracks me up, I was relating a gross story about a girl that sat on my toad ‘Buster’ when I was ten years old in the thread “gross stuff you saw when you were a kid”, and Boris told me he thought the story about the toad was funny, and he wished he could have seen the girl’s face when she saw her \*\* boboheiney \*\*, HAH!! hehehehe, boboheiney, that’s a good one!! Thanks Boris!! ---

There’s some Easter-typer hymn with the line “Which, wert and art and blessed ever be” wert…I was given THE LOOK by my mom last year when we got to that line. She would have grounded me, except I haven’t lived at home for 3 years. * * * I mis-wasted my youth.
