Once in a while I come across a word that makes me laugh. QUIBBLE is just such a word. Whenever I hear it I think of these . . .
I know. I know. All you Star Trek fans out there are screaming, NOT QUIBBLE you idiot, TRIBBLE. I do know the difference, but that doesn't mean I can't see those fuzzy little creatures in my mind every time I hear QUIBBLE.
So, what does Quibble really mean? Here's Websters take on it.
Sorry, didn't mean for this to be a vocabulary lesson. I just like the word. A lot. And for a little fun, try to say all those rhyming words in a row really fast. :-)
Is there a word that makes you laugh? Or maybe one you like because of how it rolls of your tongue?
I keep thinking I could be a Star Trek fan and I just never got into it...
ReplyDeleteI love words - micturate makes me laugh all the time.
My first thought was The Quibbler— the magazine from the Harry Potter books.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not a Star Trek fan but I have seen that Tribbles episode. It was a lot of fun.
Quibbles over Tribbles.
ReplyDeleteBig Trek and Potter fan here!
I am trying to read all the A to Z blogs, but coming back to the ones I really like.
Looking forward to seeing what you do all month!

When I was in junior high I was a total Trekkie. I sewed tribbles out of fake fur. :P
