Funt. Looks horrendously rude, resembles two terrible English words, but is completely without meaning in and of itself. Unless you let UrbanDictionary tell you that it's the combination of those two words anyway.
It's also the noise things make when launched out of a tube by compressed air, if not the noise made by lighting gases in a test tube, both of which are highly entertaining.
As written words they have distinct meanings I think - with the exception of a class of people (nobs) the word is always with a K for all other uses. I’m gonna start calling people “gnobs” from now on to muddy the issue.
That’s the only word in the (American) English language that uses w as a vowel (I hope British English has a stronger Welsh influence, but I can’t say). If you learned “and sometimes y and w” as part of your vowels, that’s the reason why.
Not the color. The sound of something tiny-yet-structurally-significant snapping under pressure; juuuuust before the most chaotic gosh-damned thing you've ever seen in your life happens.

It's a cozy video game about raising slimes. You explore a strange planet with its mysteries, while also sucking up slimes with your vacuum gun. Slimes can be bred with other varieties, and ultimately you have to feed them to harvest their 'plorts' (another funny word), which are their droppings which are for some reason valuable.
It's one of my wife's favorite games. The slimes just look so stupid and happy that it's hard not to smile when you're yeeting them around on your ranch.
Years ago, Electric utility badly mangled a friend's last name. That's what was on his bill. He never corrected it. It's pronounced like "plug" but with an "n."
Feels like it should be in the dictionary, under some sort of insult.

In commonwealth culture where I come from, "loo" is the slang word for toilet, and it's always funny out of context.

I felt like I had an aneurysm watching that video. I still feel enriched by the experience though!

poop (or fart); they're such universal words that everybody, kids and adults alike, just understand how gross and funny they are instantly.

Shmeckels, nick name of my cat when he eats...and shmecks
Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y
Shmeckels makes me think of a fun name for money, like shekels.
I say look at this fat stack of smackaroonies! That's a lotta dough, there's gotta be a hundred clams here! And you know what I'm gonna do with all these bones? Buy a thesaurus!

I like to yell " HULST ! " whenever i see it, and then point at it. It's dutch for holly

Whenever I see holly my brain says "do it, eat the berry." It's not fair that they're so red and plump
I think my brain's trying to kill me

"Bloop" is associated pretty strongly with Slime Rancher for me. It's the noise of happy slimes
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I am entirely ignorant. What is Slime Rancher?
Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 1y
It's a cozy video game about raising slimes. You explore a strange planet with its mysteries, while also sucking up slimes with your vacuum gun. Slimes can be bred with other varieties, and ultimately you have to feed them to harvest their 'plorts' (another funny word), which are their droppings which are for some reason valuable.
It's one of my wife's favorite games. The slimes just look so stupid and happy that it's hard not to smile when you're yeeting them around on your ranch.
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I play this game everyday. After all, I'm raising slime in my bathtub.

This is the reason that scrunchies are objectively more fun than other ways to put up your hair

It's the longest one-syllable word last time I checked. Pretty ridiculous that it is one syllable honestly.

Is there a deeper meaning behind this one? It sounds fun
fubarx@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y
Years ago, Electric utility badly mangled a friend's last name. That's what was on his bill. He never corrected it. It's pronounced like "plug" but with an "n."
Feels like it should be in the dictionary, under some sort of insult.

I've only heard this as cul-de-sac, I didn't know it had another meaning
meowMix2525@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
Cul-de-sac literally translates to "ass of bag" in french.
Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y
That's funny, here it's the name of a particular type of dead-end street.
UnfairUtan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
That's also exactly what it means in French. We use cul de sac to describe dead-ends. :)
meowMix2525@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
Yes. You could use dead-end instead of ass. That is just the origin of the term. It gets its name from the french.
I am also from this place you speak of where the term refers to a type of street.
