How about:
nodule
ungulate
marzipan
rapscallion
lagubrious
cuddling

also has wibble gone

I think gnu is probably the funniest so far, although buttocks is probably one of my favourite.

uvula. It sounds funny, looks funny...a downright silly word.

also:
lump
meow (depends on how one says it)
scoop
kipper snacks

Gerrymander and fillybuster go together nicely.

Throb. (Contain yourself)

Scrote

As in "You complete Scrote!!"

Rama

Definately Gnu,

Mon'

discombobulate

Which means.....?

Mon'

Fillibuster is marvellous. Gnu's even funnier if you do the song.
Placen-names that sound like 'scrote': Scropton and Scrabster.
Tutbury is the place where people who complain to newspapers live.
Can foreign words be included? If so, 'schnurrbart' must be mentioned.
Carribena
Fruitsome
Soft

Discombobulate

1. to confuse or disconcert; upset; frustrate: Example: The speaker was completely discombobulated by the hecklers.

Rama

Thank you, that was my new thing to learn today

Mon'

I'm glad I could be of assistance.

Rama

psych, as in psych up a team

Mon'

or yelling it after you've just played a joke on something... "i got up at 430 this morning, psych!"

That's a new use of it to me

Mon'

I think it's an exclusively American slang something.

Ahhh being about as british as can be, that means nothing to me!

Mon'

Leery is a funny word, but I don't understand the American use of it. Since you enlightened Monique, could you do the same here?
I'd use it to describe a lecherous man who is drunk or thinks he's amusing. Whereas in America it was used (of a boy who'd suffered burns from reflected sunlight off playground equipment): 'he's a little leery of going out in the sun'. They also described it as a 'nifty playground'- since nifty to me means quick, nimble, this sounds bizarre.

Hm. I know what it means, but it's difficult to explain. It's cool in the non-temperature related sense, but in a specific way. A playground or a computer program could be nifty, but a car probably wouldn't be. The dictionary isn't much help. Maybe we should start an "American English" thread or something.

That would be helpful. Could you define leery?
Plackett
Grump
Uppity

leery... sort of like cautious, with a bit of dread mixed in... more dread than caution maybee.... if you've had a bad experience doing something, you would be leery of doing it again.
