Funny English vocabulary words. Many English words are unintentionally funny. Some of these words sound like they would be used in a comedic context when in reality they are just everyday words with humorous origins. Other English words are just flat-out bizarreflat-oute you wonder how they came to be. Here are a few examples of funny English vocabulary words:
Doodle: A doodle is a simple drawing, usually done without much thought or planning. The word comes from the German word “Dudley,” in which Dudley plays music poorly. So basically, a doodle is a bad drawing!
Poke: When you poke someone, you lightly prodded them with your finger. But the origins of this word quite come from the Old English word “Roca,” which was used to describe an evil spirit that enters your body and causes disease.
