by Online Spoken English Classes In India Online Spoken English ClassesIn one Amitabh Bachchan film there is a dialogue that
‘English is a very funny language’ and this is certainly true of many
funny words in English which will make you roll over heads to heals with their
funny pronunciations and absurd meanings.
These are some funny words in the English language: -
·
ALLEGATOR- someone who makes an allegation: -
This
word is very funny as it sounds like alligator but is actually alligator-
a person who makes an allegation. Imagine someone saying that the alligator
wanted to eat me alive in court. How funny this sounds.
·
BROUHAHA- An uproar: -
Another
very funny word in the English language is Brouhaha. The very
pronunciation makes you laugh out loud. It basically means uproar, but imagine
a sentence like ‘There was a huge brouhaha over the new amendment bill in
parliament’. Really funny isn’t it.
·
BUMBERSHOOT- An Umbrella: -
This
word is funny as it sounds like bumbershoot, like a bomb which shoots.
Imagine a sentence like the bumbershoot refused to open and got stuck
in the handle.
·
COCKAMAMIE- Absurd, Outlandish: -
Cockamamie
is really funny and it means absurd, and I must say the very word sounds
absurd.
Imagine
a sentence like his appeal was cockamamie meaning his appeal was absurd. This
makes it really funny.
·
DOOZY- Something really great: -
The
word doozy means something really great but it sounds like dozing which
means falling to sleep while sitting. Thus this similarity with dozing makes
this word very very funny.
·
FARD- Face paint: -
This
word sounds like fart and thus it makes the pronunciation funny. Kit
actually means face paint but sounds nothing like it.
·
FOLDEROL- Nonsense: -
This
word folderol means nonsense. Imagine this sentence ‘His speech was
folderol’. Really very funny.
Thus you
can really have fun with the English language as there are many funny sounding
words which make the language fun and entertaining, at times also
utterly absurd or as they say COCKAMAMIE.
