^ I want to see it when you're done.
Maybe.
Maybe.
A mural about urination? That would be a whiz. If your friends help out, then urine good company.
Urination puns.... really???
When it comes to inappropriate puns, you're number one.
Urea-lly think so?
Whiz has a couple of meanings in Philly.

I have a cousin that hates that word probably more than the bad 'C'-word. So, of course, being the loving family that we are...
Pretty much every word is funny to me. I've only recently been paying more attention to etymology and before that, I always wondered how certain words came about.
"There are no words to describe how much it bugs me when people don't know the difference between etymology and entomology."

Is the antonym of synonyn anotnym and the synonym of antonym also antonym?
What about team names that aren't plural, like the Utah Jazz? Is a member of the team called a Utah Jazzman?
Traditionally, it was standard journalistic practice to write headlines in "clipped English," avoiding the articles a, an and the and the present tense of to be. Modern news media are much less strict about those rules.Also, and this doesn't really have anything to do with funny words but I just have to vent anyway, why the HELL don't newspaper headlines use the words "Is" or "Are"?
my favourite word is dragonfly. It is neither a fly nor does it look like a dragon. It's not even able to breathe fire. Apart from it having an insatiable appetite I fail to see any parallels between dragonflies and dragons.
I like dragonflies' German name, though: Libelle. It sounds a bit like a waltz and fits these pretty animals' way of flitting here and there in short bursts. Also 'lieb' (same pronounciation) means dear/friendly/gentle and is directly derived from Liebe (love). Could any name describe this lovable animal better?

Glimpse.
Colonel.

I like "rumble pony". It sounds a little more interesting than rocking horse.
"Rumble pony" makes me think of a delinquent youth gang made up of My Little Pony fans.
^ It's not just a load of bull!
I herd what he said. Animal.
