When you really think about it, most words sound weird. Like shop, for example. What kind of a word is that? Go on, say it a few times. Shop. Shopshopshop.

Rapeseed oil. What the fuck is rapeseed oil? It sounds like something you would take samples of from a crime scene.

Rapeseed oil comes from rapeseed. Rapeseed is a small flowering plant. The name comes from India where rape doesn't mean what is does in English.

More and more it is being marketed as Canola oil for obvious marketing reasons. It is used as a cooking oil just like vegtable oil of sunflower seed oil or olive oil.

How about "freedom fighters"?

Im sure we've all heard the analogy, but think about it once more for me...

if firefighters fight fire what do freedom fighters fight?

come to think of it, maybe thats pretty accurate...

I already know I'm going to regret posting this, but please just see the humor in it and laugh then let it go!

Cockney. Scroll, stroll, troll, roll. Dick as in "Dick Cheney". "Ball" as in "dancing party". English is a language full of funny-sounding words. "Eye **** fined doh nuts."

The usage is the best for "government". Government this, government that. English is missing a decent word for "nationstate government". "Government" can be of any level, "nation" might refer to the people, too, and "state" can't be applied to federal governments, so no matter which you select, you always lose. Another unambiguous word English is missing is "power over people". (Cf. "valtio", "valta".)

Best English word ever is the verb "to pimp".

Tongue

I agree. How could I overlook both my misspelling and the sheer ackwardness of the word "tongue"? I am ashamed at my own stupidity.

You could have just said you were demonstrating how strange the word actually is.

Never admit mistakes, it works for me and President Bush.

That is kind of contradictory, but you're right. The word for "bandit" in Spanish is bandido. "Bandito" is not a Spanish word.

It still consider it Spanish because it has kind of become an accepted translation for "bandits"

Cunnilingus is the national airline of Ireland isn't it?
I understand that Gentalia is the Italian national airline.

Here's one that isn't put to much use round here:
Flexanimous
(Having power to change your mind)

on a different tact altogether:
Adit
(An almost horizontal entrance to a mine). I only know this from a cryptic crossword clue I did recently (1000 allowed to pass into a mine = admit)

And here's a nice one:
floccinaucinihilipilification
(The act of estimating something as worthless)
Apparently the longest word in the English langauge. Beats Antidisestablishmentarianism (a movement opposed to the separation of church and state) by 1 letter, though some have now tried to claim that Pseudoantidisestablishmentarianism (fake oppositionto the separation of church and state) is a word!
