Damnlag Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any word I repeat long enough starts to sound unrelated to what it is. Sock, sock, sock, sock. Sok. Sahk. Soc. soque.

Els1e Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Apropos (means 'of an appropriate or pertinent nature'. Used most often in the phrase 'apropos of nothing'. I've discovered that it's a hard word to say when your tongue/lips are swollen, because you've stupidly drunk cows milk even though you're allergic to it :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UeSchita Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 SQUAMOUS. It sounds like it should mean "slimy" or "gooey" or something like that, but it means just the opposite -- scaly or plate-like! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Els1e Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Curmudgeon (bad tempered person)'Curmudgeonliness' is a derivative of it. Wow, try saying that 10 times really fast in a row :-) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyHiker Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I always the thought that "pantyhose" and "noodle" sounded a bit silly (especially used in the same sentence). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie241 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Disgruntled.I like this word too. I wanted to see if you can be "gruntled" - the original actually comes from 17C relating to gruntle the noise a pig makes. However I found thisP. G. Wodehouse ( 1881–1975) removed the dis- again and introduced the humorous gruntled, ‘pleased’. In The Code of the Woosters, published in 1938, he wrote: ‘I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.’ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
