1. Name a word in a foreign language that you think sounds funny.
Don't know the spelling, but it's pronounced "sheeshmeesh". It means "bat" in Croatian.
2. Name a word in a foreign language you do not like.
Embarazada - Spanish for pregnant. It tricks me.
3. Name a word or phrase in your own language you do not like.
4. Name a word or phrase in your own language you find funny.
I had a word for this, but it turns out it isn't actually a word. Umm... magniloquent. It's a bit ridiculous.
5. If it's possible to articulate WHY for any of the foregoing, please do so. I realize it's sometimes very hard.
At last, I have an apostrophe!

Foil fencers Dance the Spears. Or, at least, the foils.

Yeah, I was going to ask you about the ß but Tim got there first. It is very easy.

"Muckefuck" sounds to me like "Schmutzenficken" sounds to you.

Haha. How are you supposed to pronounce it?

Moockefoock, though with short "oo"s. I'm guessing it's more the spelling that's funny. *NM*

Sort of like "book" for both "u"s and with a short "uh" sound for the "e".

I think that works because the languages are similar but distinct

I think some of my funniest foreign words would have to be Norwegian, as well.

Well, Norwegian is closer to Dutch than Swedish and Danish are.

I found Tagalog to be an unattractive language

Nope. None, in fact.

I always grimace a little when I hear "pupsik". Always sounds like "poopsicle" to me. *NM*
