Funny English Words

[JustJoel]

Here’s an article on words that Americans find inherently funny. Not surprisingly, many of them are words related to bodily functions. Our collective sense of humor is so juvenile!

Any words that make you giggle when you hear or say them?

When I was a flight attendant for Northwest (now merged with Delta), we used to fly to Regina, Canada. It’s not pronounced “re-GEE-na,” it’s pronounced “re-GI-na,” and the running joke was “Can you say Regina without giggling yet?” Americans can really be sophomoric at times!
