English has many words that sound funny when we say them. Some are old, some are new, but all of them can make us smile. Here are a few examples:
-
Bamboozle – This word means to trick someone. (Ex: The clever salesman tried to bamboozle me into buying something I didn’t need.)
-
Lollygag – If you lollygag, you are moving slowly or wasting time. (Ex: Don’t lollygag on the way to school—you’ll be late!)
-
Wobble – When something moves side to side, like jelly, it wobbles. (Ex: The chair began to wobble, so I tightened the screws.)
Kerfuffle – A small argument or fuss. (Ex: There was a little kerfuffle at the store when two people grabbed the same shirt.)
Flabbergasted – Very surprised or shocked. (Ex: I was flabbergasted when I saw how much the puppy had grown!)
Funny words like these make English more interesting. They may sound strange, but that’s part of the fun of learning a new language!
