I thought of a few more words that should have made the list:
doppelganger
hypochondriac
smarmy.

1) “A hunka hunka hunk of cheese!” I miss that commercial, and still don’t understand why a peanut sang the jingle.
2) My favorite Florida town name: Sopchoppy.
3) Chuggle is a perfect word.
4) My favorite Yiddish play: “Dibbick Schmibbick, I Said ‘More Ham.’”
5) I recall regaling the family with a particularly glorious public-speaking moment, exclaiming, “The cloud erupted into spontaneous clapter!”

Oh, Jesse, I think you underestimate that Bostonian vocabulary of yours… ;-D

Talia, I knew that your semi-feminist ways would make it much easier for you to embrace the gender-neutral “y’all.” I would think that women around the world would stand up and decry the deplorable usage of “you guys” and celebrate “y’all” as the champion of gender equality. And I don’t think you’re a narcy at all… “narcy”… nice… I’m going to steal that word.

No, no, Lisa, this is not a jab at you, though I am sad that we have not yet converted you to the usage of “y’all.” Try it. You’ll like it. You’ll never look back at your “you guys” days.

I think it might be spelled “stordy.”

Hey! Somebody remembers! What a great little ditty. “Ditty” is also very fun to say.

Haha, Gail, I really like your inner dork! I am thinking I should NOT challenge you to a game of Scrabble, where you could employ your bizarre word list from your crossword puzzle days… (not that I am in the habit of challenging people in Scrabble duels, lest my inner dork appear even geekier than usual)
And let’s be honest: We could say “labradoodle” all day long and never stop laughing.
