Okay! Welcome back to Weekly Words. My name is Alisha and this week we're going to look at funny sounding words. |
I’m afraid… The first word is “doodle”. |
“Doodle” is a funny word because of the way it sound, it just sounds funny when you say it. Drawing something with no plan, we call that doodling |
So in a sentence: when I was a student, I love doodling in my notebook. |
That’s a funny word. |
“hodgepodge” mixture of a bunch of different stuff. |
You might say, the dinner that I cooked last week was a real hodgepodge of the stuff I had in my fridge. |
Next is “shenanigans”. |
“Shenanigans”, I like this word a lot. I really like shenanigans. Kinda small tricks the my plan your family or your friends that are just a little bit mischievous, not necessarily evil but just kind of tricky, or just to be a little bit funny to play a joke on someone. Your parents will say, |
enough with your shenanigans, go to your room, or something like that. |
The next word is “skedaddle”. |
“Skedaddle” is a good word, it means to leave quickly, to go, to go quickly. |
You've been may be at a coffee shop for too long and you have to do something else, so you say to your friend, let's skedaddle, we need to go to our next appointment. |
okay the next word is “persnickety”. |
“Persnickety” means that you’re too focus on the details, you really like |
that the small the whatever it is you're doing. In a sentence, you might say, my aunt is a persnickety person, she always has to have things a certain way.” |
And that's the end, those are some funny words. Try to use them a little bit. Thank you very much for joining us for weekly word this week, we'll see you again next time for more fun stuff. Bye! |
