What is Vocabulary Shenanigans?

There are words out there, that when said, just make people chuckle. Properly used in context the word is fine, but when an outsider hears just one word (or sometimes a sentence) out of your conversation, they crack a smile.

Devised over a few beers before a Washington Nationals game in May, this is a list of words that cause us to giggle. Vocabulary Shenanigans was born.

Who is "us"?
We're from varying geographic locations, backgrounds, alma maters, career paths, and teams we cheer for, but are bound together by just a few things: calling DC home (at least for now), throwing one, two or seven back and having a good time.

A new word will be posted each day, with it's own little intro or background as to why it made someone at the table giggle, but please feel free to add your own words via the comments section.
