Hey, "silly" is another stupid word,
And "stupid" is ...
I'll stop now before I start going insane..

'Tea-cosy' can be amusing. Why should tea be cosy anyway?
'Percolator' is another good one.

They aren't real words, but the 24 hour coffeehouse at my old school used to have the following sizes of coffee:
small, medium, large, extra large, blooter, and bazorg.
Now, I remember thinking that the Blooter size was larger than any sane human would drink, but then they introduced the Bazorg size (normally used for hot soups I think).
