    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).

    “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.

          1. The English language is a living language. All you need to do for refenestration to be a word is to start using it.

    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.

    Suss

    verb. To suss something. To solve or figure it out. To come to understand it.

    Short, sweet, one syllable. Two letters, three S’s (which, honestly, do the heavy lifting) and U, the goth child of the vowels.
