What is the funniest one syllable word you can think of?
What is the funniest one syllable word you can think of?
I say "bum" and my wife says "boob"
Interested to hear what you think.
Peef.
It's when you fart out of your dick hole. A "Penis Queef", if you will. Happened to me once when I had a cystoscopy. Weirdest feeling ever.
Bjork!
I know it’s not a word, but a name… still if you use it with ! I think it’s particularly funny. Like it’s an exclamation, or a warning.
Bjork is my goto nonsense muppet sound. Bjork bjork bjork Bjork!
Icelandic dogs:
You know Björk in swedish is a tree
It's birch.
- Mom! Look! This frog says my name every time I press down on its belly!
- Leave the poor animal alone, Björk!
Yes, and you have to say it while sucking in air, not breathing out.
Holy shit that makes it 10x funnier!
I tip my cap to you, PrayerWaxpaint
The only person that could turn a three letter word into three syllables
Schmutz.
It's Yiddish (?) and is a general term for unspecified dirt or filth. The fun part: once you have identified the filth, it is no longer schmutz.
My spouse and I picked it up from the Says You radio show years ago, and have used it ever since.
It's literally the translation of dirt or filth in German.
Its US usage comes mostly from Yiddish, but fun story: I studied for two years in Germany after taking one semester of German (would not recommend, but it worked out), and on my first day, I told my housemate that she had some schmutz on her nose, and she was so excited about the German progress I had already made… I did not know at that time that Schmutz was dirt, but I’ve always remembered it
Another great one syllable Yiddish word is Schmuck
Yiddish has like 200+ words for penis, and zero for vagina. they were also used to describe personality types. a schmuck is a general dick. a schmuckgagle is a giant dick. a schmuckus is a baby dick. etc.
I don't know Yiddish, but it's got some good words. I feel like Hutzpah is one that I hear from time to time
Chutzpah is great! There are tons of great Yiddish words. Some of my favorites are schvitz (to sweat; alternatively a sauna), schlep ([traveling] an annoying distance), mischigas (nonsense or nutty behavior, or kinda similar to a clusterfuck), noodge (kinda like a pest, but said with some affection), zaftig (pleasingly plump, like Christina Hendricks), and kvell (to be really happy/proud, opposite of kvetch).
So it's a name for a thing that doesn't actually exist?
No, more like "hey you've got some schmutz on your shirt." I don't know what it is (might be crumbs or maybe lint) but it's definitely there.
Smeg
I expect this requires no explanation. You lemmings already know.
Heeeeeead
This is how I abbreviate avocado smash & eggs. Mostly with two g's, but still.
It is a versatile word
This seven-cheese pizza calls for "Richard's cheese?" Did I get that right?
That's an appliance company here.
MA!
I also choose this guy's wife's "boob".
Excellent reference
Without wanting to ruffle anyone's feathers, I will submit queef, which would be worth a chuckle even if it held no meaning
"womp"
but usually funnier when used as a pair
Makes me think of a sad trombone. Whomp-whomp
Wah-wah-wah has a similar energy
Moist.
Beat me to it!
My wife hates this word, so of course I've weaponized it. Isn't that what true love is all about?
Yeet is fun to say when throwing something.
I love yeet, it's just so fun to say!
You two are wild
However you spell that noise Guinea pigs make.
WHEEEK
It's like letting the air out of a balloon. Fascinating!
GWEEK
Cuy
Twat
pronounced with a hard A
twaight
now listen here you little shit ...
Like in Guest House Paradiso
Funt. Looks horrendously rude, resembles two terrible English words, but is completely without meaning in and of itself. Unless you let UrbanDictionary tell you that it's the combination of those two words anyway.
It's also the noise things make when launched out of a tube by compressed air, if not the noise made by lighting gases in a test tube, both of which are highly entertaining.
The spelling "phoont" may be preferable.
I know exactly what you mean with the air-tube. In video games it's the stock grenade launcher sound effect.
I spell it "fwump." It's funny that we're probably thinking of the exact same sound and have different ways to express it
Bob
This is great, I have a curmudgeonly relative named Bob, and he would just hate to think that's funny
Bob and vagene?
poot
Came here to say "poot." Truly, a refined and sophisticated selection, well done.
Have you ever read My Teacher Flunked The Planet? There's a little slug creature thing called a poot in that book. I love it
My dad spends a lot of time doodling, and sooner or later he ends up with a man farting a big 'poot' cloud
Schnozz
I used to have a dog named Schnozz! He was always sticking his schnozz where it shouldn't be
eyebrow wiggle
Hump
Also: dink
Edit: hehehehehehe
You must be a fan of The Princess Bride, or as I like to call it Prince Humperdink and that Blasted Woman Who Didn't Want to Get Married
Your edit is the whole reason I'm here :)
Engelbert Humperdinck ?
Cunk
Are you a fan of Philomena? Cunk on Earth was pretty great
I liked her talking about her mate Paul getting dosed with LSD and threatened with a screwdriver
I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.
Moob.
Hehe, moobies
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
As a mountaineer I enjoy the word "cwm". Sounds like it should nasty but in reality it's just Welsh for cirque.
Berk
(It has a very rude etymology)
I agree, Berkshire is very rude indeed
I had to look this one up. The first definition I got was "a name for an idiot, affectionately."
Then I saw the other definition, had a chuckle
Boof
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.
If people pronounce squirrel as one syllable, then I guess squirreled could be as well, but it’s not in my dialect.
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.
pink
Not the color. The sound of something tiny-yet-structurally-significant snapping under pressure; juuuuust before the most chaotic gosh-damned thing you've ever seen in your life happens. Car accidents, roller coaster failures, towers collapsing (not those ones) - it's pretty much always preceded by a tiny little pink
Peh
Stank.
The dank rank of crank stank ranks poorly with focus groups
I like to yell " HULST ! " whenever i see it, and then point at it. It's dutch for holly
Whenever I see holly my brain says "do it, eat the berry." It's not fair that they're so red and plump
I think my brain's trying to kill me
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!
Shmeckels, nick name of my cat when he eats...and shmecks
Shmeckels makes me think of a fun name for money, like shekels.
I say look at this fat stack of smackaroonies! That's a lotta dough, there's gotta be a hundred clams here! And you know what I'm gonna do with all these bones? Buy a thesaurus!
Shmackaroonies you shay?
Clunge
I heard this word for the first time today elsewhere in this post.
Gotta keep expanding my vocabulary, dontcha know?
Fünf
Is this German for Five? Goofy looking number
Yea. It’s my favorite word just because the sound.
poop (or fart); they're such universal words that everybody, kids and adults alike, just understand how gross and funny they are instantly.
Bonk
Gooch, taint, bung, flunch.
This is my first exposure to flunch, thanks for the new word. I sense a theme here
fart
squirreled
It's the longest one-syllable word last time I checked. Pretty ridiculous that it is one syllable honestly.
Fart.
Classic
Want to hear another one? Pull my finger.
Queef 😂
scrunched
This is the reason that scrunchies are objectively more fun than other ways to put up your hair
bop
Moist. No but really ive always thought "sedge" is a funny sounding word.
Nah
I'm a nope guy myself, but I certainly get the appeal
dude
duuuuude!
Shit. I associate that with how my friend and I used to say it during games. "Ah Chiet!" like you have no teeth.
Shit’s versatile. Whether you pronounce it shit, shieeeet, shit… or SHIT! all has different meanings
coque
Boop!
Nip
