Okay, so are there any words that you heard that sounded funny to you and you thought it was what it sounded like it meant, but it was total opposite??? Share them here.

1. Flabbergasted - Haha.. when I heard this word, I thought it meant like someone ate too much and got gas. Like omg, I ate too much, I'm so flabbergasted, but instead it means you're surprised or shocked.

2. Stupendous - LOL... this word is very common on the Barney show. When a kid has an idea, he always goes "that's a very stupendous idea!!" To mem it sounds like.. the word "stupid," but it means amazing or wonderful.

3. Frigid - For some reason, I always thought this could have been a good cuss word. Like, damn it! that's so frigid of her!!! But it means cold, referring to weather.

4. DoDo - LOL.... yeah... it means shit, but I just love it when someone goes, "What do you do do?"

LOL... so anywho.. share some more words ya'll/

this word sounds offensive, but it's really a word that's not related to what it sounds like.

niggard
n.
A stingy, grasping person; a miser.

adj.
Stingy; miserly.


but i still wouldn't use this around ppl i didn't know.. just in case i don't talk fast enough to give the correct definition or explanation. because the word really does sound offensive.
