I had a teacher at secondary school who would tell any chatterboxes to stop masticating.
The first time you heard it, it sounded enough like masturbating to get anybodys attention and it made me laugh.
My teacher once told me to stop masticating.
Joke was on them though, I was in the middle of a ****.
Called the kids that when they were messy and it stuck as a pet name for my daughter. Being in England no one knew what I was calling her. She wasn’t impressed when she saw the word written at a farm/zoo we visited.
Sorry, I just can’t split them nor use them in the same sentence. Although, if I ever invested in a pair of kittens, these might will become their names.
I remember Stephen Fry saying his favourite word is plinth, it’s a pretty nice word to say out loud
Doing (as in how Betty boo does the do), because it is spelt the same as doing (a bells noise, like boing), which always makes me question how to pronounce going. The alternative pronunciation is much better
Quite. Back in good ol freeserve chat days, I was called a Twonk and it has stuck ever since. Think I put an S on as Twonk was used, although I also had Twonky for a while.
My favourite word is ‘knob’ – So many options to use it, so many meanings and quite descriptive of many people, without being overly aggressive.
