    Skedaddle, I like how it can be playfully dismissive and throw people off when they’re angry.

    My favorite foreign word is Inverno (Italian for Winter).

      As opposed to “inferno” which is now a universal word for summer

    “Defenestration”.

    The fact there’s a specific word for throwing someone out of a window is hilarious. Even the word itself sounds funny to say.

      I think “refenestration” which means to throw someone back into a building through the window is inherently funnier.

    Depending on the language. In English I like overwhelming or acknowledge, in Catalan I like xiuxiuejar it means to whisper, in Spanish I love almajaneque, it comes from Arabic and it means trebuchet.
