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.
