I also choose this guy's wife's "boob".

Scrunched

Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic

I think 'scrunched' is the longest one I've seen in this post, I can't think of a longer one.

In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that 'abbreviate' is such a long word.

If people pronounce squirrel as one syllable, then I guess squirreled could be as well, but it’s not in my dialect.

Came here to say "poot." Truly, a refined and sophisticated selection, well done.

My dad spends a lot of time doodling, and sooner or later he ends up with a man farting a big 'poot' cloud

Gotta love a portmanteau.

Do you think you could say this on network TV? It's origin is definitely a curse word, but somehow I feel like this would get a pass.

Nob and Knob are spelled the same, and I feel like you could use them interchangeably.

Hit someone with a Gnob and they'll look at you funny

I like this one because it sounds dirty and it's not

The sound of scientific progress, and something much more fun too!
