I say “bum” and my wife says “boob”
Interested to hear what you think.
Scrunched
Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic
I think ‘scrunched’ is the longest one I’ve seen in this post, I can’t think of a longer one.
In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that ‘abbreviate’ is such a long word.
Shart
Gotta love a portmanteau.
Do you think you could say this on network TV? It’s origin is definitely a curse word, but somehow I feel like this would get a pass.
poot
My dad spends a lot of time doodling, and sooner or later he ends up with a man farting a big ‘poot’ cloud
Nob
Nob and Knob are spelled the same, and I feel like you could use them interchangeably.
Hit someone with a Gnob and they’ll look at you funny
Shunt.
I like this one because it sounds dirty and it’s not
BOINK
The sound of scientific progress, and something much more fun too!
Cul
I’ve only heard this as cul-de-sac, I didn’t know it had another meaning
In commonwealth culture where I come from, “loo” is the slang word for toilet, and it’s always funny out of context.
I felt like I had an aneurysm watching that video. I still feel enriched by the experience though!
Cunk
Are you a fan of Philomena? Cunk on Earth was pretty great
Fart.
Classic
Want to hear another one? Pull my finger.
Funf
Is this German for Five? Goofy looking number
I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.
I didn’t know you could verb this one. But being called a putz is devastating in a way. Like, you think it’s a dirty word, but it’s really not
It means the male reproductive organ in yiddish.
Oh really? That’s hilarious, from the context I just thought it meant “fool”
Putzing around is another way to say goofing off.
Onomatopoeia usually punch above their weight class here. Shlorp gets my vote.
Have you ever used Shlorp as a verb? I feel it paints a particular picture
Yes, almost exclusively in the context of dogs shlorping up water from their bowl.
Shlorp

*gets water all over the floor, again…
As a mountaineer I enjoy the word “cwm”. Sounds like it should nasty but in reality it’s just Welsh for cirque.
How do you pronounce that, is it something like “coom” ?
I can totally get why it would sound gross
Exactly.
Even better, the Welsh political party called Cumrag
