Involuntary · 10 June 2001

There are words, such as underpants and douchebag, that crack me up every time I hear them. I cannot control this, but then again I don’t really want to.

For an as yet vaguely-defined upcoming project, I’d like to get an idea which words make you laugh involuntarily, and so am soliciting contributions. You need not explain why, but explanations are most welcome.

*   *   *

  1. Rectum is another favourite hereabouts.

  2. Crapweasel. After underpants, it's definitely crapweasel. I never understood where it came from, and I'm not sure I need to.
    — leslie harpold    Jun 10, 10:08 PM    #
  3. "Baggy Pants" "Crocodile Pyjamas" "Feathered Dog" "Burgermeister Buns" Underpants and douchebag are good too *cracks up*. "Crack" as in "Bum Crack"

  5. Flavia. This is the name of a company that puts out greeting cards and other such items. I always crack up whenever anyone mentions it (as in, "Look at my new Flavia organizer") because it sounds like Labia, or something sexual, anyway.

  12. column my gr. 10 data-processing teacher used to pronounce both the m and the n in column.. and it became something of a mantra for me and my giggly desk-mate. I should note that I have to actually say the word to get the involuntary laughter.. two or three times.. by the fourth, I'm in tears.

  13. Gonch (rhymes with launch) Some say "gitch," others say "ginch," Lemmy from Moose Jaw says "gotch." All are good. Somewhere between raunch and gross, the word sounds like mine smell.

  17. spermologer a picker-up of trivia, of current news, a gossipmonger, perhaps what we today would call a blogger ;-) Researcher friend found it in Shipley's Dictionary of Early English and we have both adopted it.

  22. Eohippus, frenchies, myrtle. Persiflage, badinage. "-lingus." Flugelhorn.
    — Paul Ford    Jun 11, 06:16 AM    #
  23. Vaginal. If this word is ever used in a non-medical pretense, I'll surely piss my pants. "Ya, I did her last night ... vaginally."
    — Moggy    Jun 11, 06:50 AM    #
  24. The word wedgie cracks me up. Wedgie: the condition of having one's clothing stuck between the buttocks, often from having had one's pants or underwear pulled up as a prank.

  30. "mellifluous", if for no other reason than that I once heard James Earl Jones say it as part of a top 10 list on Letterman. I can't think of the word without hearing him say it. Also: "guppy".

  36. A list of words that make me titter might include: Splurge, as in spending money recklessly. Effluvia, as in widely dispersed bits of junk. Also moist, higgeldy-piggeldy, asshole (a surprisingly vivid insult when you insert a deliberate pause between its component words ), hubba-hubba, and countless other equally wonderful words, because our language is ever so spiffy.
    — Gary Barker    Jun 11, 01:15 PM    #
  37. Zelda says she is not copying but Sasquatch has sent her over the edge many times. Pantyhose, however will always remain her favorite.

  40. One more for me: bigamy. Mostly because it always calls to mind an old Marx Brothers routine: -- Margaret Hamilton: That's bigamy! -- Groucho: It's big a' you, it's big a' me, it's big a" both of us!
    — DW    Jun 11, 01:54 PM    #
  41. 1. "lug nut" 2. "Scranton" (a city in Pennsylvania--name sounds like a secret part of the anatomy in the region of the male scrotum) 3.

I heartily second Lisa's "rectify" (nothing beats hearing a super-serious boss saying we "must rectify the situation") 5. "dillweed"

  42. Spatula
    —    Jun 11, 01:58 PM    #

  47. In my youth, I always got a giggle from the word "pianist." Serious music terminology as potty humor - always a hit with the kiddies. :-) ...and a few more for grins from the "doesn't-mean-what-it-sounds-like" department: Omnipotent. Masticate. Ennui. (or Ennuiui, for the pianists in the audience :-)

  54. gazeebo: Ga*zee'bo, n. [Humorously formed from gaze.] A summerhouse so situated as to command an extensive prospect. [Colloq.] Not to be confused with gazebo: ga ze bo (g-zb, -z-) n. A freestanding, roofed, usually open-sided structure providing a shady resting place. A belvedere. Say it out loud...you can't help but laugh. smega is a good snicker inducing word as well.

    —    Jun 11, 04:20 PM    #
  57. Carpet-muncher. Been saying that every opportunity I get for weeks. Not quite as funny is cognate rug-muncher. Others: blowhard, bee-jay, or beej ("you want a beej, or do you want to just fuck?"), sodomite
    — Nyla    Jun 11, 04:21 PM    #
  58. I'll second assmunch and underpants, then throw in cockholster for good measure. Plus, I've gotta admit that chowderfuck just got me snickering...never heard that one.
    — calvo    Jun 11, 04:35 PM    #
  59. "booty." Any combination of the word "booty" with another word or part of a word is even better. "Bootylicious." "Booty house." "Bootyfunk." You get the idea.

  68. "Nozzle" is always fun. And "guzzle" for the same reason. Also, appending the word "bucket" to the ends of other words can often amuse. Much the same way "pants" does.
    — phineas    Jun 11, 05:09 PM    #
  69. well, of course there's always "pants." but "pants" is just so over. so lately, when i need a pickmeup, i just whisper "moist" very quietly, and laugh on the inside.

  128. Can't resist submitting a few more. I agree with the abovementioned "slacks" and "trousers" and "beverage". Hilariously stupid. I want to add, in the vein of Fallon MacElligott above, Hoodoo McFiggins. Hoodoo McFiggins is one of many corny pseudo-Celtic roadhouse type restaurants found in the suburbs of Ottawa. Sure there are more out there. Anyone? Then there's Crack-whore (and Assistant Crack-whore, for that matter); hornswaggled ("Well I'll be hornswaggled, Captain.") and Micronesia. What an inferiority complex those people have.

  132. "Dork" made me pee my pants once. Also: "pants" and "ham bone" are funny. Not necessarily pants-pissing funny, but rather amusing all the same.

  133. Homo. It sends me straight back to the seventh grade. I recently heard it used in a meeting in the latin context as opposed to the sexual orientation context and it sent me into an embarrassing fit of Beavis and Butthead giggles.

  153. Sustainable architecture? Yeah right!
    — Grant Dunlop    Jun 13, 10:39 AM    #
  154. "Flaccid." The mere mention of the word makes me grin. I've almost choked to death laughing several times when, while eating some soft, jiggly food, the phrase "Eww. This is flaccid." has popped into my head. Also, anything written in that 18th-century-capitalize-everything style is hilarious, even if the content is boring. I can't decide why. "My dear Cousin was attacked by a most vicious Cat this Morning and had to take to her Bed the rest of the Day."

    — Aaron    Jun 13, 06:30 PM    #
  162. There are few words that automatically crack my up. But I have three, each depicting the same anatomical region: the choad, or chote. Also known as the "Cuzzif" (cuzzif you didn't have it, your intestines would fall out) or the "Taint" (taint your rectum, taint your twig and berries/nernie). After 30 years, I still don't know the actual term for this part of the body. The ass-seam?

  163.

  165. Perineum.
    — Dean Allen    Jun 13, 07:31 PM    #
  166. Ah, I'm afraid I must correct the Overlord of this site! The perineum is the little interior thing that feels good when you have a nightstick pressed against it. I think it may be a gland. In fact, it may be the gland that explains much of my behaviour.

  167. Cupcake. Crotch. Vulva. Belch.
    — Alistair    Jun 13, 08:25 PM    #
  168. epitome (because it's so easily mispronounced. Actually, any word mispronounced with a straight face will make me laugh. That's just mean of me. Like, contribute pronounced CONtribute, etc. I'm such a snob.) 'sufficiently siphoncified" (I don't know how to spell that....but I know it means "I've eaten enough, thanks.") eschatological (because it sounds like scatological) hermeneutics (Remember those Herman cartoons?) Harrass. (How are we supposed to pronounce that?)
    — Hildegarde    Jun 13, 08:50 PM    #
  169. "Deep-pile shag" is genius. You people are missing a classic: "poop." I once (I swear) had a guidance counselor named Dick Happy. My friend and I invented a word once. It was hilarious just for how it sounded. We tried to invent a meaning for it just because we liked saying it, but could come up with nothing suitable. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you "scrunt." This is about words, but the phrase about "the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke," almost gave me an aneurysm once.
