jimmymcgoochie Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Pick some random German words and sound like you’re really angry about something. Krankenvagen smetterling hauptbahnhof kartoffelkopf! (Translation: ambulance butterfly train station potato head ) Then there’s einfahrt verboten, which actually means “no entry’ but sounds a lot funnier. And in English- moist, flange, plinth, squelch, reciprocate, filibuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben J. Kerman Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Lots of German words are fun to say! I hope to learn German soon (I mean within a year or two, maybe three) More fun words: Hong Kong Sumitomo Mitsubishi Kawasaki Kerbal Lastkraftwagen (German word for truck, often abbreviated to LKW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsii1970 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 For the past year, my daughter and I have taken a challenge to find and become accustomed to using an archaic word from the English language. We normally try to use each word for a fortnight because we want them to become a part of our normal vocabulary. It's kind of fun to watch my child tell an obnoxious peer, "you're just being a dandiprat!" Normally, the response is, "no, I'm not a dandelion!" And of course, my daughter laughs at them. Anyhow, here are the ones we've added to our list over the last four months. I've included the definitions, too. Methinks you'll agree these are fun words to say. Kerfuffle: a commotion or fuss, especially one caused by conflicting views. Betwixt: between. Rantipole: a wild reckless sometimes quarrelsome person. Blathering: the action of talking long-windedly without making very much sense. Obliviate: to forget, to wipe from existence. Opine: hold and state as one's opinion. Circumjacent: lying around; surrounding. Fandangle: a useless or purely ornamental thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That word existed long before the Harry Potter franchise of books and movies. It is actually from classical Latin OBLIVIUM and means "to forget." It was transliterated into English around the 1600s (the 17th Century). And no, not shouting. In the Latin alphabet, there are no lower case letters.
