The Pleasure of Words

Who Thought of These Funny Sounding Words?

  • Ointment
  • LinoleumWORDS
  • Snickerdoodle
  • Catacombs
  • Diphthong
  • Lollygag
  • Nincompoop
  • Polynomial
  • Aluminum
  • Snarky
  • Tinkle

‘Nincompoop’ provides comedic relief for two year olds as well as adults. Think about it.  What adult male doesn’t enjoy a good excrement or gas joke?  It’s timeless…and ageless.  The other words on the list twist our tongue or morph our mouth into something either humorous or pleasurable.
