Awhile ago, I wrote a post about some words in the English language that strike me as sounding “funny,” or just bring a smile to my face when I say or hear them. I was looking around the Internet for a decent pair of Nikon binoculars — and I chuckled. “Nikon” wasn’t the word that did it. “Binocular” triggered my chuckle. Something about “binocular” or “binoculars” just sounds funny to me.

Which brings me back to that earlier post here about funny sounding words: How about your candidates for funny sounding words in the English language? What good is a blog about language, words, and writing tips without a little fun with words, I always say.

Leave a comment and share those words that make you chuckle — or at least smile — when you hear them.
