Whilst these words don't really stay in my head often, I have found the following humourous:

hoot
sushi
onion
gazebo
onomatopoeia
groat
baboon (babouin)

As for quail..... no thanks, reminds me of a former vice president I couldn't stand, Dan Quayle.

As for maverick, everytime I hear that word Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin come to mind.

Riparian is nice, reminds me of an episode of Keeping Up Appearances where Hyacinth invited her family and friends to a riparian picnic. Of course, it turned out to be a complete shambles!

Very funny episode. I was appalled at first that the show would appropriate "my" word, but I forgave them because it was so funny. However your reaction is quite typical and I rarely talk about my relationship to the word because I have to undo the damage of it having become a Hyacinthism.

I suppose the the word that tends to stick in my mind these days would be Serenity as, I suppose cause, of the fact I'm always trying to find it in my own life these days both online and offline in various differing scenarios and all.

A late NT friend used to use the phases "uh huh" and Oh boy" quite frequently. It about drove me crazy. I finally mentioned it to him off hand. He didn't even realise how much he used them until I brought it to his attention. He did make an effort to not use them so much.

The words "sneeze" and "foolscap" are funny.
I also like the word "hiccups", it sounds like "hickies".
