How about these? ironclad Send a noteboard - 11/04/2011 07:30:41 PM
I was looking up a word in my big German-English Dictionary when I noticed what may be the funniest word in German. It is:

Muckefuck

And apparently it means a coffee substitute. And you thought "Sanka" was weird enough...

Since we do not have the word "fuck" it's only half as funny when you are German :P
I thought to myself, "If I drank coffee, and if I were to want a substitute, there is no way that I could say 'ich möchte etwas Muckefuck, bitte' with a straight face. I would start laughing."

Muckefuck is not exactly the kinda stuff you'd order at a cafe. More like the stuff you'd get at a construction site at breakfast :P

1. Name a word in a foreign language that you think sounds funny.

Swedish: farthinder. for obvious reasons.
2. Name a word in a foreign language you do not like.

most of French. Unless it's whispered by a naked girl.
3. Name a word or phrase in your own language you do not like.

Rheinschifffahrtskapitänsmütze. Just kidding ;)
4. Name a word or phrase in your own language you find funny.

Oachkatzlschwoaf. That's Bavarian for Squirrel's tail.
5. If it's possible to articulate WHY for any of the foregoing, please do so. I realize it's sometimes very hard.

I think they speak for themselves :P
*MySmiley*

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

"Muckefuck" sounds to me like "Schmutzenficken" sounds to you. Tom - 11/04/2011 11:26:21 PM 314 Views
*chuckles* Schmutzenficken! ironclad - 12/04/2011 10:51:09 AM 442 Views

Haha. How are you supposed to pronounce it? Vivien - 11/04/2011 10:36:16 PM 359 Views
Moockefoock, though with short "oo"s. I'm guessing it's more the spelling that's funny. *NM* Legolas - 11/04/2011 10:59:37 PM 176 Views
Sort of like "book" for both "u"s and with a short "uh" sound for the "e". Tom - 11/04/2011 11:22:55 PM 266 Views

I think that works because the languages are similar but distinct Tom - 12/04/2011 03:04:49 PM 256 Views
I think some of my funniest foreign words would have to be Norwegian, as well. Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:11:43 PM 336 Views

Well, Norwegian is closer to Dutch than Swedish and Danish are. Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:33:22 PM 304 Views

That's an odd way of reasoning... Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:15:37 PM 293 Views
Have you spent any appreciable amount of time in Asia? Tom - 13/04/2011 01:23:13 AM 276 Views
Nope. None, in fact. Legolas - 13/04/2011 07:15:28 PM 350 Views
The better analogy is with Turkic languages. Tom - 13/04/2011 07:51:48 PM 318 Views

I always grimace a little when I hear "pupsik". Always sounds like "poopsicle" to me. *NM* everynametaken - 13/04/2011 06:08:46 AM 146 Views
