The 40 Funniest Words in the English Language—And How to Use Them
Finally, PART IIII

Funambulism
If you’re looking for a new pastime and prefer extreme endeavors, you could take up skydiving or white water rafting. But you might want to try funambulism instead, which is another way to say tightrope walking.

Example: “I always thought funambulism looked fun—but I’m afraid of heights, so no thanks.”

Widdershins
Counterclockwise is rather fun to say, but take things up a notch wonky word-wise when referring to which way you’re heading by saying that your walking widdershins, which is another word for counterclockwise.

Example: “I took a path widdershins through the forest.”

Collywobbles
If you’re experiencing stomach pain or queasiness, whether it’s due to illness or anxiety, then you’re feeling collywobbles, a term for that icky feeling.

Example: “I have some collywobbles happening in my tummy.”

Quomodocunquizing
While the word looks rather complicated, it’s meaning is simple. Quomodocunquizing is a way to describe something (or someone) who makes money in any way possible.

Example: “He’s a quomodocunquizing businessperson.”

Diphthong
When you combine two vowel sounds together in one word to create something a little different, then you’re using a diphthong.

Example: “The sound ‘oy’ in boy or toy is a diphthong. So is the ‘ou’ in you or loud.”

Bloviate
If you were given the task of coming up with a word to describe a person who likes to ramble on, then you might opt for something like bloviate, which is the perfect term for your local windbag.

Example: “That guy couldn’t resist bloviating at the party.”

Gubbins
While gibbons are the adorable primates that spend their days swinging through the rain forest,
gubbins is something totally different. Instead of being cute creatures, they’re miscellaneous bits and pieces or gadgets.

Example: “The drawer is filled with random gubbins.”

Blatherskite
There are plenty of terms for people who like to use words to their full extent (or perhaps even overuse language), which is why we also have blatherskite to describe the kind of person who can’t self-edit and cares more about making noise than making sense.

Example: “My ex is a boring blatherskite.”

Snollygoster
Any time you cross paths with someone who’s a snollygoster, then it’s time to head in the other direction. Although they may be a person who’s shrewd, they’re also more likely to be the villain than the hero, which means you’ll want to be wary.

Example: “My nemesis is a snollygoster.”

Finifugal
Finifugal is not only a fear of finishing things, it’s also the term you can put into use any time you get the desire to prolong a final moment or prevent a seemingly inevitable ending.

Example: “I have a finifugal vibe towards this funniest words article I’m reading on Best Life.

That’s my Story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT THURSDAY! people,

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A man was trying to pull out of a parking place, and bashed the bumper of the parked car in
front of him. Witnessed by a handful of pedestrians waiting for a bus, the driver got out,
inspected the damage, and proceeded to write a note to leave on the windshield of the car he had hit. The note read:
“Hello. I have just hit your car, and there are some people here watching me who think that I am writing this note to leave you my name and phone number. You should be so lucky!” 😳

Wednesdays’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“I guess you’ve noticed something a little strange with Dad.”

Answer: “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”
Directed by Steven Spielberg, “Close Encounters” received nine Academy Award nominations, winning in the Best Cinematography category, as well as a Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Editing. (An interesting note: Richard Dreyfuss, while not nominated for “Close Encounters”, did pick up the Best Actor award for “The Goodbye Girl”). The film was also recognized with a variety of nominations and wins in other entertainment award programs as well, including the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, BAFTA Awards, Golden Globes and Hugo Awards. The American Film Institute lists “Close Encounters” as the 64th greatest film of all time, and it is preserved in the National Film Registry. The film also starred Melinda Dillon, François Truffaut, the wonderfully quirky Teri Garr, and a very speedy (don’t blink!) cameo by The Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia.

Thursday’s Quizzler is…….
You see me often ladies,
For I am a part of your life.
I sometimes bother babies
But prefer to cause adults strife.
My looks are a sign of your personality.
My strength cannot measure up to yours.
With most people I am there for eternity.
Onto me, water often pours.
Many look to me with pride,
While others wish to change me.
Drifting slowly, my time I bide
Waiting for you to see
That I am just a thing you’re given,
Not something very important.
For I have always been and will forever be dead.
