I say "bum" and my wife says "boob"

Interested to hear what you think.

Onomatopoeia usually punch above their weight class here. Shlorp gets my vote.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have you ever used Shlorp as a verb? I feel it paints a particular picture

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes, almost exclusively in the context of dogs shlorping up water from their bowl.

I also choose this guy's wife's "boob".

pink

Not the color. The sound of something tiny-yet-structurally-significant snapping under pressure; juuuuust before the most chaotic gosh-damned thing you've ever seen in your life happens. Car accidents, roller coaster failures, towers collapsing (not those ones) - it's pretty much always preceded by a tiny little pink

Peef.

It's when you fart out of your dick hole. A "Penis Queef", if you will. Happened to me once when I had a cystoscopy. Weirdest feeling ever.

What the fuuuuuuck. How do you delete someone else's post?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (7 children)

It wasn't fun for me either

Bjork!

I know it’s not a word, but a name… still if you use it with ! I think it’s particularly funny. Like it’s an exclamation, or a warning.

I expect this requires no explanation. You lemmings already know.

Schmutz.

It's Yiddish (?) and is a general term for unspecified dirt or filth. The fun part: once you have identified the filth, it is no longer schmutz.

My spouse and I picked it up from the Says You radio show years ago, and have used it ever since.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

It's literally the translation of dirt or filth in German.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Its US usage comes mostly from Yiddish, but fun story: I studied for two years in Germany after taking one semester of German (would not recommend, but it worked out), and on my first day, I told my housemate that she had some schmutz on her nose, and she was so excited about the German progress I had already made… I did not know at that time that Schmutz was dirt, but I’ve always remembered it

Have you ever read My Teacher Flunked The Planet? There's a little slug creature thing called a poot in that book. I love it

Wife got a chuckle. I said it was her favorite movie, she said 'very funny', I said 'it was more an action-thriller'.

Maybe she liked the slut.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

squirreled

It's the longest one-syllable word last time I checked. Pretty ridiculous that it is one syllable honestly.

Without wanting to ruffle anyone's feathers, I will submit queef, which would be worth a chuckle even if it held no meaning

Funt. Looks horrendously rude, resembles two terrible English words, but is completely without meaning in and of itself. Unless you let UrbanDictionary tell you that it's the combination of those two words anyway.

It's also the noise things make when launched out of a tube by compressed air, if not the noise made by lighting gases in a test tube, both of which are highly entertaining.

The spelling "phoont" may be preferable.
