I say “bum” and my wife says “boob”
Interested to hear what you think.
Onomatopoeia usually punch above their weight class here. Shlorp gets my vote.
Have you ever used Shlorp as a verb? I feel it paints a particular picture
Yes, almost exclusively in the context of dogs shlorping up water from their bowl.

*gets water all over the floor, again…
Bjork!
I know it’s not a word, but a name… still if you use it with ! I think it’s particularly funny. Like it’s an exclamation, or a warning.
Icelandic dogs:
Bjork is my goto nonsense muppet sound. Bjork bjork bjork Bjork!
You know Björk in swedish is a tree
It’s birch.
Isn’t it two syllables
B-york – never thouht of saying it that way

The only person that could turn a three letter word into three syllables
I also choose this guy’s wife’s “boob”.
BOINK
The sound of scientific progress, and something much more fun too!
I was watching a Batman/Superman animated movie and Harley Quinn was using a pogo stick, she kept saying BOING when she hit the ground.
Yeet is fun to say when throwing something.
I love yeet, it’s just so fun to say!
Schmutz.
It’s Yiddish (?) and is a general term for unspecified dirt or filth. The fun part: once you have identified the filth, it is no longer schmutz.
My spouse and I picked it up from the Says You radio show years ago, and have used it ever since.
I don’t know Yiddish, but it’s got some good words. I feel like Hutzpah is one that I hear from time to time
Chutzpah is great! There are tons of great Yiddish words. Some of my favorites are schvitz (to sweat; alternatively a sauna), schlep ([traveling] an annoying distance), mischigas (nonsense or nutty behavior, or kinda similar to a clusterfuck), noodge (kinda like a pest, but said with some affection), zaftig (pleasingly plump, like Christina Hendricks), and kvell (to be really happy/proud, opposite of kvetch).
So it’s a name for a thing that doesn’t actually exist?
No, more like “hey you’ve got some schmutz on your shirt.” I don’t know what it is (might be crumbs or maybe lint) but it’s definitely there.
Funt. Looks horrendously rude, resembles two terrible English words, but is completely without meaning in and of itself. Unless you let UrbanDictionary tell you that it’s the combination of those two words anyway.
It’s also the noise things make when launched out of a tube by compressed air, if not the noise made by lighting gases in a test tube, both of which are highly entertaining.
The spelling “phoont” may be preferable.
I know exactly what you mean with the air-tube. In video games it’s the stock grenade launcher sound effect.
I spell it “fwump.” It’s funny that we’re probably thinking of the exact same sound and have different ways to express it
Bob
This is great, I have a curmudgeonly relative named Bob, and he would just hate to think that’s funny
“womp”
but usually funnier when used as a pair
Makes me think of a sad trombone. Whomp-whomp
Wah-wah-wah has a similar energy
You two are wild
Twat
pronounced with a hard A
twaight
now listen here you little shit …
A hard A, eh?
people tend to default to
twuttwot, really throwing the A at 'em is fucking hilarious.… like the difference between scone and scone.
Yeah, you say twot to an English person and they’ll look at you like you’ve sprouted a third head.
The correct way to pronounce it is twat:
The twat in a hat came at me with a bat.
As opposed to:
The THOT whose a bot sent me her twot.
I usually hear twot / twaht.
if you’re reading twot and twut differently maybe I should edit …
Maybe they are the same in your accent and different in mine? Speech be funny that way.
No no no, this is the internet, someone has to be wrong.
Ok, I’ll be wrong, I think it’s my turn.
I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.
I didn’t know you could verb this one. But being called a putz is devastating in a way. Like, you think it’s a dirty word, but it’s really not
Putzing around is another way to say goofing off.
It means the male reproductive organ in yiddish.
Oh really? That’s hilarious, from the context I just thought it meant “fool”
Gooch, taint, bung, flunch.
This is my first exposure to flunch, thanks for the new word. I sense a theme here
