Old Joey Bishop routine on J really being the most common letter in the alphabet.
"Jeet jet?"
"No. Ju?"
"Jusminigo."
"Wuhdjav?"
"Justinornj."

Blackguard
Asinine
Hirsute
Sam Hill

Once shared a hospital room with a wonderful elderly black minister by the name of Samuel Hill. He would get incensed whenever anyone called him Sam, entirely because of the expression "Sam Hill", which he held was a euphemism for Satan's Hell, and that would be vile and the equivalent of calling on the devil.

In line with stunad and jambroni, chooch was my Dad's favorite word for me and my brothers.

I was listening to the Christmas favorite, Dominick The Donkey a few years ago I realized that my Dad was calling us a jackass!

With my dad, it was Jamoke. Basically, he used it to reference working stiffs with more muscles than brains.
 
tautological
incipient
irrevocably

You're probably right about Stunad. My exposure to Italian slang is with my wife's family (RI not NYC). I just sit back and grin and never imitate.

Another of my favorites is "Mamaluke". (sp?) Don't know what it means but I like it.

This guy is awesome

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. :)

Much prefer the longer version of that word -- fatuitous
 
Honestly “jabroni” has always been something I’ve loved, even just the way it comes out of your mouth

My Dad also used jamoke. And I think he said “jaboni” when he meant “jabroni.” As I have mentioned before, he has ninja-level mispronunciation skills, the prime example being calling Boatright “Brightboat,” which my brothers and I have adopted.
 
Begins with an F, ends with a K. Sorry for the people who have to sit near me at games.

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 ...

Uvula is one of those body parts ( found in women !!!!) that sounds like a lot different thing than it really is.

Once had a kid ask the para in the room, "Is it true that if I touched your uvula (he said something else) you'd throw up."

"Yes"

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.
Expand ...
You hear a player is "serviceable" relative to the seemingly much better player used in sports commentary quite a bit.

seminal You can easily work it in as a double entendre in defensible ways.

Took a sec, but quite witty. To be sure, referencing the youthful, the exuberant, the moment.

That is true. It will do but it’s never really that good. I’m putting a body in because I have to... desperate times call for desperate measures.
 
I forgot one. Hear it so rarely, but when I do, for some reason, it always makes me smile. I don't know why. Quixotic.
