I'm beginning to repeat myself.

In a previous post I discussed my running list of inherently funny words as well as the fact that wikipedia has an article dealing with just such a subject. Today I wandered across the same article in my interweb travellings and found a few other along the same vein.

There's this page of quaint or quixotic words. I especially recommend the list of quaint words.

There's Michael Leyedon's list of funny words some of which overlap with mine.

And there's a page of how to be funny which includes mention of some words that you just need to know because they're funny.

And just because I can, here's my list of words that I particularly enjoy...feel free to drop a comment if you can think of any that I might want to add in...
