things that make you giggle

I'm a paralegal working in estate/trust law. Not exactly the glamorous side of the law, but necessary.
Anyway, I have a Beavis and Butt-Head mentality. Every time I see the term "per stirpes" (rhymes with "herpes") I inevitably giggle. Which is a lot.
Also, whenever I see "probate" I think "Not prostate you idiot! Probate!"
A free taco to anyone who knows where that's from without doing a search. :p
I also happen to think "affidavit" is a pretty nice word. It just has a pleasing sound.
Do any of you have work words/phrases/things that make you giggle, or at least smile inwardly? If so, share!

Same here, though I probably come across it far less than you do.

I think I giggle way too much at things, sometimes I wonder if I counted the things I couldn't turn into sexual puns if that list would be shorter than the things I can.

I like to read Zippy the Pinhead. It often makes me giggle. I'd like to see a panel where Zippy repeats the name of Denver's mayor over and over. "Hickenlooper! Hickenlooper! Hickenlooper!"

Out of morbid curiousity I rubbernecked through the novel "Left Behind." The most entertaining thing in the whole book was the work "Cluj." Assuming it's pronounced "clooj" it's a silly sounding word. The rest read like what you'd expect a novel like Tom Cruise to sound like.

The word "paralegal" makes me think of guys in suits and balaclavas, storming a courtroom whilst armed with AK47s.

Nice wordplay, by the way.
In response to what you`ve written, if I should happen to see such a pack, I would leave them all well alone. They can be very dangerous when roaming in groups. ;)

"Knickers" is a rather curious word, true enough. On the flip, my grandfather has lived in America for several years now, and still hasn`t quite become used to being told "take off your pants" when he goes into a fitting room at a clothes store. :eek:

Eion Colfer made good fun of that in his book, The Supernaturalist.
Although, even before that I had an idea like that:D

If you Brits ask an American what time she'd like to be knocked up, you might get smacked.
My Aussie colleague once created a jaw-dropping pregnant pause when she asked in my office for a "rubber". While everyone else was wondering what the heck she'd be asking for a condom for in the middle of the workday in a high school, I handed her a pencil eraser. ;)

I was actually thinking that it was something like a fanny pack that goes under your pants, not over them.

British English
Vulva

The fact that one of the people I cleaned a house for a few months ago happened to be a webcam sex girl.
Who I gave a mix CD to as a moving away gift for a road trip. With my e-mail address. And please keep in mind that I did not know what she did at night for money, people.
Yeah, I'm actually laughing at that right now. :p

Fanny means "ass" in American English. For the word vulva, we use, believe it or not, vulva.
