Some words are just plain funny

When you think about it language is one of the worst ways to communicate because of all the problems of misinterpretation, double entendre and what have you. But what you have to enjoy of those shortcomings is that most of it is human created for our own benefit be it to twist words into something that it “didn’t necessarily mean in the first place” or plain ole laugh. Don’t believe me? Here are five examples off the top of my head of words, phrases or terminology that at the very least makes you giggle. I’ll put the category, the word or phrase and of course, how you can screw around with it.

Word or phrase:

Suggested usage:
I dare anyone to stand in the middle of a food court and scream “I love cumquats.”

Word or phrase:
