    Have you ever just heard or said a word and it sounded odd to you? You might have thought, why is this a word? Go ahead and name a few!

    Chief and collage both sound and look weird to me. They both start with C's too.. Hmm.
     
  2. Crotch
    When people say soda pop
    Paralipsis
    Ding-a-ling
    Dookie
    Reservoir
    Routes said like "roots", I'm southern so r-outs sounds right to me, but singular I like "root" for route...I'm weird
     
  3. Duty, my 12 year old sense of humor makes me laugh when I hear it used kuz its also another word for feces
     
  4. Worchestershire. Can't even read it let alone pronounce it.
     
  5. asks - say it 10 times in a row.
     
  6. floccinaucinihilipilification

     
  7. haha, I love words like that. The more you say it, the dumber it sounds. They did that on Venture Bro. with 'scuba'.


    It makes you realize that language really is just made up.


    'What sound are we going to make that we will designate to represent this activity?'
    ...'Scuba.'
    'lol, wut?'
