Funny words

Fellow speaker,

Funny words have:
  • Hard "K" or "C" sounds (kin, kith, etc.)
  • Twofers and threefers (two or three repeats of the same sound) (kiwi, crack, etc.)
  • Onomatopoeia (words that sound like what they describe) (boom, splash, etc.)
  • Tz sounds (klutz, spritz, etc.)
  • End with a vowel (salami, buffalo, etc.)
Wordily,

Tim
