  1. Sticky B says:

    Junket? Is that what trannies are calling their junk these days?

  2. Diana says:

    No, no, Sticky B. That would be “junkette”.

  3. Dan Collins says:

    What’s even funnier is a Phucket junket.

  4. BJTexs says:

    Hey, notice how the meaning changes entirely if you add a te on the end!

    “Whoa, dude, I guess we can only call that a junkette!

    High visibility but low impact…

  5. SarahW says:

    Slanderess, junket(te)

    Are you going to sponsort a girl-blog soon? Because you have all the names.

  6. SarahW says:

    That extra “T” was a happy accident.

  7. Topsecretk9 says:

    One of my personal favorite funny words is “mustard’

  8. JD says:

    Gren Gleenwald and Caricature crack me up.

    I tried to get the copyright for “smegma” but it turns out that it is property of the estate of Howell Heflin’s ass-crack. foiled.

  10. Melkor says:

    That ’71 lime green V8 Hornet is a POS. Junket.

  11. proudvastrightwingconspirator says:

    Junket: jung-ket(verb)
    – to dispose of, throw away.

    Q. “What should I do with this Rockies World Series Champion t-shirt?”
    A. “Junket in the garbage.”

  12. McGehee says:

    Is that are all your base? Yes all your base are belong to me.

  13. mojo says:

    “bezel”, “uvula”

    Are we gonna have the “comedic words” conversation again?

  14. N. O'Brain says:

    Did you know that in the novel “Old Man’s War”, the protagonist kicks himself in the uvula?

    Google it!

  15. Drumwaster says:

    I’m fond of “discombobulate”…

  16. Dave says:

    I like “cacophanous,” as in: “The public celebration in Boston was cacophanous last night.”

  17. JD says:

    Boobies

  18. Kevin_B says:

    Of course this is just to remind the minions that Mr G is going on his VRWC junket next week, where he will collect his new decoder ring and a year’s supply of red pills, (which he will promply lose behind the sofa), and hang out with Mr O’Spades and his ilk.

    Now there’s a funny word.

    “Have you seen my ilk?”

    “Check behind the sofa. It’s where you usually lose the damn thing.”

  19. Dave says:

    Got ilk?

  20. TaiChiWawa says:

    Irk is another funny word. “One must not irk one’s ilk in the junket.”

  21. Melkor says:

    From that forgettable Clint Eastwood/Burt Reynolds film, City Heat.

    Clint: blah, sneer, blah…..people of your ilk.
    Generic Hood: What’s an ilk?
    Clint: A big deer.

  22. JD says:

    Irregardless. It both humors me, and is a pet peeve at the same time.

  23. Drumwaster says:

    Some other funny words:

    antedeluvian
    artichoke
    sphygmomanometer
    and, in a nod to George Carlin back when he was still funny, “tits”.

  24. happyfeet says:

    My litotes, you can look at them and maybe even wonder what they feel like but no no no you can’t touch them. Not ever.

  25. JD says:

    litotes? That is the second time I have seen that word in one week. if the folks at g@”gle were not such evil leftist fucktards, I would know what that word means by now.

  28. happyfeet says:

    Papoose is not a funny word but it makes me happy to say it. My dyslexic friend, my bestest friend really, he called me a freak control once and I found that very poignant. At lunch today this guy I work with talked about “fishing out an idea” and I realize now that when he said that in front of everyone in the staff meeting in New York he wasn’t just misspeaking. But the word I think that just sounds funny is pantalones. You have to go here and click on #11 for why.

  29. Dan Collins says:

    Turpitude’s not funny, either, but I kinda like saying it.

  30. Dave says:

    “Turpitude’s not funny, either, but I kinda like saying it.”

    If it’s not funny, that means you aren’t doing it right.

  31. kelly says:

    tumescent
    turgid
    twaddle
    tussock

    Me? And dictionary at hand? That’s just crazy talk.

  32. fletch says:

    Topsecretk9-

    One of my personal favorite funny words is “mustard’

    You’re right! It’s sort of a ‘portmanteau’ of “Must be a retard“…

    BTW, I think “andy” just got a new nickname!

  33. JD says:

    I gotta agree, turgid and tumescent make me laugh too … andy is mustarded?

  34. CraigC says:

    Al, you stole my word from the last time we had this discussion.

  35. Pablo says:

    Protuberance!

  36. Junket was a brand of tapioca-like pudding mixes in the early 60s. Apparently, this is the same stuff here:

  37. Cowboy says:

    Behoove.

    I never say it, but I always get a chuckle when some arrogant academic does–’cause it proves he’s a prick, and also I imagine putting hooves on him and whoever else “it would behoove.”

  38. McGehee says:

    I imagine putting hooves on him and whoever else “it would behoove.”

    Given what “behead” means, my imagination shows me something different. ;-)

    prove it.
