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.

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.

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

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!
