Word play
 

For those who like to play with words, what are some of the words you find amusing... just for the way they sound when spoken.

For starters, I'm going with Badger.

OMG!! :rofl::rofl: I think I need to go into rehab after that clip! :D

Right then... to continue the theme (if slightly off topic) here's "cows". It's truly freaky!

Ack, the beginning was funny then I wonder what the creator had been smoking...the spider cows were a bit too huntsman-like for me...

I couldn't think of any regular words just off the top of my head, but I recalled that quite a few British place names had me giggling...

I still find the word 'penis' makes me snigger.

Filum (as in film but spoken with a Scottish or Norn Irish accent). My mum and dad both say filum, dunno why I don't.

Re: Word play
 

My dad is so out of touch with technology he says 'steeereo' rather than 'stereo'. He also adds an element of surprise when he says the word to re-emphasise the fact he considers it a new-fangled intrusion into his vocabulary.

:lol: why do parents do that? My mum sticks with a word and refuses to change it, even if it is wrong. To this day she calls Tesco - Tesca. :blink::confused: She does that with tons of words.

Oblong - I get such a buzz out of that word - it winds my kids up too:D

Re: Word play
 

My dad does this. He calls a chimney a chimley. :confused:

I've always found the word blancmange quite funny.

Re: Word play
 

My mum calls Dalmations, Dalminations:unsure:

Squelch is a funny word and my colleague had to call a Mr Squelch today:eek:

I once had to speak to a Miss Hymen:eek::eek:

There is a Labour in Vain Drove in Lincolnshire which always makes me chortle

There is a village called Mavis Enderby in Lincolnshire and my infant teacher had the same name.

My dad once told me he had gone to New York to work. I couldn't understand how he had done this as he had only been gone for the day and I know it was a long flight to New York, until he finally told me about the village 5 miles away with the same name:o

Ah chortle, that's a good un too and snuggle:thumbsup:

Re: Word play
 

My dad lives near Labour in Vain Hill in Wiltshire, named as it is a very long hill and is deceptive, as when you think you've got to the top, you find you have another bit to go. In the days of horse drawn traffic it would knacker the poor things, so they put a pub half way up it so they could have a rest and water.

I remember seeing a sign for "Upton Snodbury" when I was little, and you have the Slaughters in Hamphire/Dorset- Upper, Middle and Lower, and Nether Wallop, which I like, as well as Wyre Piddle. I lived in a village called Urchfont, which according to myth has been spelled 56 different ways since the Saxon times.

But the words I like best are the ones delivered by Rowland Atkinson as the teacher calling out the register, particularly "Orifice" and "Nibble".
Can some clever person find the sketch and put it on????

Infiltrate does strange things to me.. and I always chuckled (or chortled) going through Wetwang
