| 2749 | * '''Latin:''' |
| 2750 | ** The pronoun hic, haec (pronounce [haik]), hoc. Also works if you're a Francophone, as "hic" is the onomatopoeia for hiccups in both French and English. |
| 2751 | *** The ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' comics went to town with this -- every time they showed a drunk Roman, they'd use all three pronouns for his hiccups. |
| 2752 | ** Not to mention, the verb 'facio'. (And to go with imperatives- 'Dic me! Dic me!' It ought to have some indicators for long vowels, but not in our textbook...) |
| 2753 | ** ambulabamus ("We were walking") |
| 2754 | *** In fact, any verb ending in -bimus, -bamus, -bimini or -bamini is funny. |

| 2774 | ** escargot (snail) |
| 2775 | *** [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa ESCARGOON!!!]] |
| 2776 | ** harpe, and since the h is silent, it makes someone saying sound as if they are trying some strange seal bark. Try continually saying "arp arp arp arp" with a French accent and not laugh. |
| 2777 | ** hockey, especially when "au" is used before it. |
| 2778 | ** feuille (Means leaf and is pronounced like an "f" with the "oo" from "good" combined with a "y" sound"). |

| 2784 | ** ménage |
| 2785 | ** merde, even better because it means poop (as well as made famous by Creator/MontyPython). |
| 2786 | ** WebVideo/{{Nimportequi}} |
| 2787 | ** pamplemousse (used as a running gag in the webcomic Webcomic/BobTheAngryFlower) |
| 2788 | *** Used ''incorrectly'', nonetheless; "pamplemousse" actually means "grapefruit". |
| 2789 | *** There's even a band that derives it's name from this word, though they change the spelling to Pomplamoose. |
| 2790 | ** phoque, pronounced like a certain English F word (elementary school French class was never the same when they came up with that silly zoo program where you clicked on the animals, and all you could hear was "phoque", "phoque"...) |
| 2791 | *** [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Cluster phoque]] |
| 2792 | ** piscine (swimming pool). |
| 2793 | ** poisson (fish), especially because of its closeness in spelling to "poison" (the French word for which is spelled identically to the English--and, yes, the pun is exploited in French editions of ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'') |
| 2794 | *** "Who poisoned the poisson?" |
| 2795 | ** poubelle |
| 2796 | *** plus belle qu'une poubelle |
| 2797 | ** quinze (meaning fifteen: pronounced "kanz"). |
| 2798 | ** raplapla, meaning tired |
| 2799 | ** "WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}". It's a stew right? Why do they call it that? If you're going to name a food, you should give it a name that sounds ''delicious''! Ratatouille doesn't sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie". "Rat patootie"! |
| 2800 | ** rikiki (which translates into English as "puny", itself a funny word) |

| 2833 | ** By extension, most words with the suffix "-ito" and "-ita" as a diminutive ("pancita") |
| 2834 | *** Not to mention you can repeat the diminutive as many times as you like for emphasis, thus something extremely small could be ''chiquitititititito" or "chiquitiquitiquitico" |

| 2911 | * In particular, "ano...," meaning "that..." (or, isolated, "hmm...") is popular as well, sounds slightly dirty in English and IS dirty in Spanish and Italian [[note]] it means "anus" in both languages[[/note]]. |
| 2912 | * moshimoshi (hello - specifically when you pick up the phone) |
| 2913 | * haha (mother) and chichi (father) |
| 2914 | * aso, because if one says it the right way... |
| 2915 | * chin - while still a body part, it's not in the same region as the english one. |
| 2916 | ** Try below the belt. Actually, almost any euphemism for a penis is Japanese is hilarious. There's at least twelve. |
| 2917 | * Nobuatsu Aoki. |
| 2918 | * baka (largely thanks to [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Akane]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QleyNcziqc0 Tendo]]) |
| 2919 | * bukkake (the smart bomb of dirty words. First off, few people know what it is - those who don't go home and look it up..."AAAAAAAAAAGH!" It also has a totally clean alternate meaning as a style of noodle preparation. Plus, it's ridiculously fun to say). And it can also be easily confused with "{{Bokukko}}". |
| 2920 | ** [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Shoekkake]] |
| 2921 | * [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi]] |
| 2922 | * Oppai |
| 2923 | * bonkura |
| 2924 | * "Cake" is pronounced as "ke-ki", or, coincidentally, "[[VideoGame/StarCraft KE KE KE KE]]". |
| 2925 | * Itadakimasu (somewhat appropriately, sounds like "Eat a duck, we must") |
| 2926 | * Nani?! Standard for any moe-blob. |
| 2927 | ** To westerners, the word is best known for its usage in Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar. |
| 2928 | * [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Dango]] |
| 2929 | * [[Anime/FushigiYuugi No da!/Na no da!]] |
| 2930 | * Gyūnyu (cow milk) |
| 2931 | ** Fun fact: [[Anime/DragonBallZ Captain Ginyu]]'s name comes from this word! |
| 2932 | * Nemukunaru... (You are getting sleepy...) |
| 2933 | ** YOU try saying it over and over while you hold [[HypnoPendulum something that is swaying back and forth]] and not crack a smile. |
| 2934 | * Saimin (Hypnosis)[[note]]Alternatively, Saiminjutsu[[/note]] |
| 2935 | ** [[{{Duck}} Say it around a boy named Simon and see what happens.]] |
| 2936 | * Washi (how old men say "I" or "me"). Try saying it in an old man's voice. |
| 2937 | * -tachi, a collectivizing suffix for all the various gender- and age- specific ways to say "I" (ore/boku/atashi/watashi/etc.), which can add a humorous nuance beyond the meaning of "we" ("Ore-tachi"="we [tough guys]...") |
| 2938 | ** The word "tomodachi" was originally made by applying the collectivizing "-tachi" to the word "tomo" (friend), but nowadays this word also means a single friend. How to make a noun which explicitly means "a group of friends"? Well, of course, add the same suffix once more: "tomodachitachi"! |
| 2939 | * [[http://gai-gin.com/comic_0124.shtml Seieki]]. |
| 2940 | * 若干 (jakkan), despite being more or less synonymous with ちょっと (chotto) or 少し (sukoshi), is considered more inherently funny. |
| 2941 | * Atatakai - warmish |
| 2942 | ** Even more fun in past tense, "Atatakakatta" |
| 2943 | * Uso (lie). |
| 2944 | * Midori means green and is insanely fun to say (though not as much as tokidoki) |
| 2945 | * Wagamama (selfishness) |
| 2946 | [[/labelnote]] |
| 2947 | * {{Hikikomori}}, but probably not funny if you know one or ''are'' one. |
| 2948 | * Hito is 'person', while hitobito is 'people'. |
| 2949 | * [[EarCleaning mimikaki]] |
| 2950 | * Ninki (popular) |
| 2951 | * Nonki (easy going. Trying it and the above in rapid succession.) |
| 2952 | * Shishunki (puberty). Especially funny for Russian speakers when transliterated (using the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillization_of_Japanese Polivanov system]]) as "сисюнки", which is dangerously close to the Russian word for "titties". |
| 2953 | * konnichiwa |
| 2954 | * shiitake (as in the mushrooms) |
| 2955 | ** [[Series/TheCatherineTateShow "Shit ache mushrooms?!"]] |
| 2956 | * Basically any by itself, especally "Pu" (see "Poo" above), and any other symbols ending in "U" (for the same reasons of he "oo" words). |
| 2957 | * The sequence of numbers, 8-8-7-1 (hachi hachi nana ichi) |

| 2960 | * sumo (a funny name for a funny sport) |
| 2961 | * {{ninja}} |
| 2962 | * Unputenpu (trusting something to chance). Fans of ''Manga/{{Kaiji}}'' will be familiar with this one. |
| 2963 | * Kuuki versus Kukki: the first means "air," the second is the Japanese pronunciation of "cookie." [[HilarityEnsues You will get them mixed up.]] |
| 2964 | ** Similarly: chizu (map) vs. chiizu (cheese) |
| 2965 | * Many Japanese ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' names qualify as this, with many of them being portmanteaus of existing words: |
| 2966 | ** Pikachu ([[MondegreenGag "Pick a chew, any chew!"]]) |
| 2967 | ** Fushigisou (Ivysaur) |

| 2993 | * ojama |
| 2994 | * [[http://tangorin.com/#general/mushi mushi]] |

| 2999 | * sai (rhinoceros) |
| 3000 | * i (stomach. Yes, that's only one letter in romaji) |
| 3001 | * Tokyo and Kyoto, especially if close together. ("Tokyo and Kyoto" itself can be pretty funny in Japanese - the Japanese word for "and" is "to". Also, formally Tokyo is referred to as "Tokyo-to", meaning "Tokyo, the capital") |
| 3002 | ** The Japanese の ("no" to an English speaker and a Spanish speaker) and the English and Spanish "no" (の to a Japanese speaker) can cause hilarious misunderstandings. "Tokyo? No. Kyoto.", in English, and "Tokyo no Kyoto", in Japanese, mean ''very'' different things even though they are pronounced in almost the exact same way. |
| 3003 | * otokonoko (young man) |
| 3004 | * kabuki |
| 3005 | * [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Gojira]] |

| 3017 | * VisualNovel/{{umineko|WhenTheyCry}} (seagull, written as 海猫...which, separately, mean "sea" and "cat". In other words, seagulls are sea kittens.) |

| 3049 | |
| 3050 | * '''Farsi''' |
