Quartz

Some words are far from anomatopoeic. Said aloud, this word sounds like someone stepping on a fish gut. As does the word, “filch.”

Kerfuffle

Meaning a commotion. It sounds like one which kicks up a lot of dust. Go ahead. Say it out loud. It’ll dry your mouth out.

Two-Syllable Words, Both Syllables Starting With The Same Letter Then Ending With an L Sound

Burble, bauble, bubble, babble, purple, people, papal, cockle, cackle, diddle, dawdle, doodle, total, title, mammal, giggle, gaggle, goggle, google, gurgle, – all fun to say.

Poot

Not an alternative for the word “fart”, rather a farting subset. A gentle little fart, an innocent.

Cuspidor

With the strong emphasis up front, the word sounds stately and grand, even knightly and certainly doesn’t sound like something that exists to be spat in.

Pickle

Just plain fun to say. For this reason, I’m surprised people don’t spontaneously blurt out the word while standing in line or waiting for a bus.

Cheeselog

I begin this collection with one of my favorite words. Perhaps the funniest non-k word in the English language. It begins with light, silliness then plops on its second syllable.
