Well, I've learned something today. Searching to figure out what a "stunad" is lead me to the origin and definition behind "stugots". I had no idea.

 

[Lynyrd]

Favorite word is "YES" and Hyperbolic is fun to say

 

[Waquoit]

I always liked pendulum. Where does the "j" sound come from?

I just learned what my favorite word is last night, watching a Jim Jeffries show. Vocalizing the word is one thing, but the sign language version of it is simply remarkable. Not going to post it, but if you have Netflix, skip to 26:58 of "This Is Me Now" and I'm going to predict that will be something you'll be using yourself someday.

I like the word "megalopolis." It sounds like a dinosaur, but it is "a very large, heavily populated city or urban complex." I really enjoyed my Urban Studies courses at school.

Same place as "d'jeet yet"?

 

[HooperScooper]

I'm married to an Italian. I've heard the word stunad a million times!

There are many fatuous posts on this board.

I'm not insinuating this post, just using the word.

Jabroni.

Reminds me of my Dad, when he was yelling at my older brother.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Same place as "d'jeet yet"?

And, while my matzo ball mixture rests in the fridge a couple hours, a zissen pesach for those prepping for a virtual seder.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I’ve always liked the word pejorative

and bananahead

 

[mussels]

A couple of years ago we all learned "dotard". I've kind of liked it ever since.

 

[Chin Diesel]

For some reason "moist" gets some people's skin crawling. So, I like it.

Also a big fan of "superfluous" and "d-b-a-g".

No, chew ?

Woody Allen had a classic routine about being paranoid when asked, "No, Jew?"

edit: I see Hans posted something similar above.

Love jabroni. Reminds me of the Iron Shiek.

Looks like we both missed it, so apologies to Hans. Also posted in expectation that someone else would follow up with. "Come on squeet"

My boss called someone “serviceable” today. I thought that was a fantastic word. It’s such a put down that doesn’t sound like a put down.

Blackguard
Asinine
Hirsute

Only a serviceable employee wouldn't realize being called "serviceable" is a put down.

From mispronounciation

 

[bluestreak]

Always liked mellifluous. I don't get to use it much in my life. Most of my friends are stunads.

I’ve always liked the word pejorative

and bananahead

"Can I mama dogface in the banana patch?"

First day of school every year I had the kids look thru the book and find their favorite science word.

The list always included:

lake titicaca
Blue Footed Boobie
Shitaki
Asstronomer (that is how they'd spell it)
Uranus
Titmouse
Coccyx

The list goes on ...
