I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.

As a mountaineer I enjoy the word "cwm". Sounds like it should nasty but in reality it's just Welsh for cirque.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How do you pronounce that, is it something like "coom" ?

I can totally get why it would sound gross

poop (or fart); they're such universal words that everybody, kids and adults alike, just understand how gross and funny they are instantly.

I like to yell " HULST ! " whenever i see it, and then point at it. It's dutch for holly

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

now listen here you little shit ...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

people tend to default to ~~twut~~ twot, really throwing the A at 'em is fucking hilarious.

... like the difference between scone and scone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I usually hear twot / twaht.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

if you're reading twot and twut differently maybe I should edit ...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe they are the same in your accent and different in mine? Speech be funny that way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No no no, this is the internet, someone has to be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Ok, I'll be wrong, I think it's my turn.

Smeg

I expect this requires no explanation. You lemmings already know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

This seven-cheese pizza calls for "Richard's cheese?" Did I get that right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, we accepting abbreviations now to fit one syllable? This is cheating, I'm calling the police

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Yeet is fun to say when throwing something.

Berk

(It has a very rude etymology)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I agree, Berkshire is very rude indeed
