You just reminded me of when my sister told me about how she and her hubby were installing something in their house, and she went into Home Depot and asked the guy inside the door, "Where is your caulk?" She said she rephrased her question after she saw the look on his face. XD
Oddly, seems like a lot of folks haven't noticed me without help from someone else; ah, well...s'long as you get here in the end, dig what I do, and sub, neh?
Any word said often enough loses it's meaning and reverts to it's intrinsic quality - just a random assortment of sounds, which we then imbue with meaning...
Pick any word, literally an word, and just say it over and over and over again...listen to how the word starts to change in the way you hear it...because point in favour of the anti-descriptivist school of linguistics :)
A funny word from Indonesia: If you add Ke- to the front and -an to the end of a word, you get the English version of the suffix -ness. This works 99% of the time.
For the word "Malu" meaning "shy" - "kemaluan" means genitals, rather than shyness.
What does this mean? Well in Indonesia where I am studying the language, if I don't want to talk to someone and I want to tell them I have a large ammount of shyness, I better be careful how I come up with the word.
I have an idea for Howie. In your videos you always have text that's different than what your saying. You could just put them in thought balloons over Howie's head.
He could be the sidekick with all the good one liners ;p
I agree. Like those old Pop-Up Videos they used to have on the music channel. You could be mid rant and he walks out and says "Yeah [Insert Name Here], this means you!" or "BionicDance is referring to a post by [BLAH]" or even just for reinforcement, such as "I concur!"
There was a rather lame ventriloquist here in the UK many moons ago whose dummy was called Nookie Bear. It really is amazing how far you can go in show business on that one innuendo,
i am weird in many ways, but specifically in that i get really jazzed when i use multisyllabic words (yay! I just did...haha)I love words, and the tempo of some just thrill me to speak them.
oh, and this is the first reference to howie for me, but i think it was fun to read your post about him here in comments.maybe he was a protective totem (since you have a fear of canines)...or he was just a soft snugglie for you!peace n stuff...
Well, Howie shows up for the first time in Episode 03 of Rational Station. But I got him when I was, ooh, I don't know...still in elementary school, anyway.
My parents and I were on the way to Massachusetts to take me to summer camp, and on the way we stopped at this place called The Teddy Bear Inn. My dad said I could get a stuffed animal in their store, and I saw Howie there and just HAD to have him. Dad almost didn't let me cuz he cost a lot, but...now I'm 34 and still have him to this day.
I should do a video on the irony of Howie being my favorite stuffed animal since i was a child.
I mean, before I turned three years old, I had two quite terrifying run-ins with dogs that have left me with a pretty hard-core phobia of all things canine...yet my favorite stuffed animal ever happens to be a Husky...
Coupled with the irony that I had Howie LONG before I moved to Seattle, and the local college team here is called the Huskies...
If I were inclined to believe in fate... just sayin'
Its a video I would rate highly I think. Irony would go down well with your subscribers I think. The sterotype that americans don't get irony can't be all its made up to be. :)
Here in England its a stereotype of americans. But I feel its more self depricating humour, and its not that americans don't get it..........Its just.............we're better at it. lol
You're aware that "caulk" isn't "colk", it's pronounced "cock". Just because you don't like them doesn't excuse you from having to pronounce the word.
There'z something about that word...it makes me think of BBQ sauce. '-tucky' sounds like 'sticky', which somehow makes me think of something goopy like BBQ sauce...
Probably doesn't help that I have an uncle from Kentucky, either. :)
Bassoon!!! :D Although I must say that the German word, faggott, provides much more opportunities for wordplay...especially amongst a bassoon section with three gay guys...
Reminds me of last Friday night when I got drunk and let my junket noose in the car.
I had my girl oil the scrum, toggle the old zamboni, and codswallop my kumquat while I was titillating her. I told her to be careful not to artichoke on the cocktail or she might boffin all over the schwa.
Hey, I've always thought Schwa was a funny word LONG before I heard of ShwaNerd. But that's cuz I'm kind of a language geek, so I've encountered it before. Plus, there was an episode of the Simpsons where Principal Skinner said it to a class when he was subbing.
Damned, I had to look up a good half of those words. Sometimes I hate being not a native speaker :/
But indeed they do sound funny. Especially titillating (haha, I'm sorry, I'm so immature xD) Just one question. Why the heck did you use "Glockenspiel" ? It's actually a German word. I figure they all sound funny to English speakers, especially those on the other side of the ocean. Has that become a word that is used in the English language ? Oo
Awesome list. My faves r bw regurgitate and swivel.

Wow! I just wanted to find a few more example of words like that, and it opened up a whole new world. There's quite a bit of diversity.
Apparently, to broggle is to fish with a sort of sharp stick. Similar to spear-fishing, I guess.
To coggle is the same as to wobble (another good word), i.e. walk unsteadily
To joggle or shoggle is either to shake or it's a "tap A in slot B" type joint.
