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.

So it's a name for a thing that doesn't actually exist?

Shmeckels, nick name of my cat when he eats...and shmecks

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

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!

Without wanting to ruffle anyone's feathers, I will submit queef, which would be worth a chuckle even if it held no meaning

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

It's funny that quaff is spelled similarly, but has a completely different vibe to it. The two don't mix at all.

Well, unless you're into quaffing queefs, I'm not here to judge.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Once I quaffed a queef, inhaled a clunge that had beefed, I just belched for relief and resumed the great feat

So you're American, I take it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is kind of blowing my mind that a word that long is only one syllable

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see you're unfamiliar with the alternate spelling, skwerl.

Always appreciated the levels of drawl it takes to squeeze this into one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Funny, I drawl it into one syllable, but I read it as two. Didn't understand how it fit the rule.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"womp"

but usually funnier when used as a pair

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

Makes me think of a sad trombone. Whomp-whomp

Wah-wah-wah has a similar energy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'm a nope guy myself, but I certainly get the appeal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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
