Ah, as the bard wrote: words, words, words. Anyway, some top words, arranged by category:
Top Middle English word that should have died with Chaucer: Fart.
Ugliest word: Phlegm.
Most embarrassing word: Penis.
Best made-up word ever: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Top three words I mispronounced for an humiliatingly long time:
Sherbet. (I thought it rhymed with Herbert, but no second r.)
Esspresso. (No x.)
Stonehenge. (I honestly thought, for the longest time, it was Stonehedge. I know what a hedge is, but WTF is a henge?)
Word I refuse to say because it is too childish: Panties. (Nothing wrong with underware.)
Best onomatopoeic word: Gulp.
Name spelled so differently from the way it is pronounced one thinks it is a different person: Goethe.
Name that should be spelled differently but isn't : Hemingway. (Should have two ms.)
Best repurposed word: Gay.
Best comical mispronounciations:
Jebus. (Homer Simpson)
Aliums! (Rugrats)
Anyway.
