I love how complicated it sounds on your tongue & the meaning of it.

Scurryfunge.

Probably because it sums up my housework efforts 🤣

This is a great word that I learned from Something Rhymes With Purple podcast 😁

My favourite word is Sphincter - like OP I like the complicated mouth movement of it.

Some lovely words on this thread.
My favourite that I use quite a lot at work is crystal.

Facetious

I like numbnuts as an insult!

BoobyDazzler · 05/02/2024 19:05

Minge, it just makes me laugh 🤣

Or maybe reprobate.

Haberdashery is a good one too. One of my mates says his favourite word is pamphlet and I can see why!
