Funny words

I like the word "hoy" (the H is not silent; it's Filipino, not Spanish). It's used to get someone's attention, but I tend to use it sometimes in the following ways:

* interjection of surprise or mild dismay: "Hoy! The server crashed." Slightly more intense than "bu hao", when a test or network connection fails
* adjective meaning desirable or admirable: "That kimchi is hoy."

A little of this goes a long way, though.

Also, kilikili, wala, anak, puwit, bomba, magulogged (sp?) and a few others are fun to say

As a place name. Intercourse, Blue Ball, and Bird in hand.
Don't forget Leacock Township in the same neck of the woods.  Also, gotta love Beaver Valley Pike.  I miss my frequent trips to Lancaster County and all of their sexual innuendos.  Come to think of it...innuendo is a funny word.

Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

My group of friends has recently taken to referring to #1 as "primary bathroom functions" and #2 as "secondary bathroom functions" after an email from management referred to them that way. Gotta go do a secondary.

I usually call those "advanced procedures".

Some letters are funnier than others. F, J, and K are funny letters. So are U and Y. On the other hand, A, B, C, G, and H aren't that funny.

I mean this in contexts where letters are used outside of words. Taking the U train would be funnier than taking the C train, or picking up your luggage at Baggage Claim J would be funnier than from Baggage Claim A.

The word 'incident' is always useful to describe someone wetting or soiling their pants. Once when I was growing up, someone soiled themselves at a Kroger supermarket, and my grandmother called it "the Kroger incident."

"Incident" is useful in pretty much every situation.

My group of friends has recently taken to referring to #1 as "primary bathroom functions" and #2 as "secondary bathroom functions" after an email from management referred to them that way. Gotta go do a secondary.

We have a guy here whose title is Incident Management Coordinator. The work vehicle he drives is labeled Incident Response Unit.



Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

So I guess he is the guy that drives the tanker that services the porta pottys?  :happy:
