i was browsing in the supermarket aisles in the personal care products section, when i came across bottles of mouthwash labeled "SWISH" - this made me smile involuntarily. SWISH is such a happy word and a funny word. just saying it makes me smile no matter what. SWISH! :lol:

is there anybody else on wrong planet that has their own favorite word[s] or short phrase[s] that makes elicits a smile or laugh? please post them here where we can all enjoy them together

I smiled too, although I wonder if it's just the oro-facial mechanics of saying the word because I never smile.

My favourite word is "tangent". I also like the phrase "rears its ugly head" because it causes me to picture an ugly beast grazing in a field and then suddenly raising its head like a startled deer.
