Bamboozle

It means to deceive by underhand manners. It is funny because it is almost impossible to imagine anyone saying this word having a serious facial expression. After you have after getting bamboozled.

Shenanigans

It means a dishonest or secret act or mischief, maneuvering. It is funny because this is a word that is every bit as clever, amusing, and light as a harmless prank it’s describing.

It means glasses that are close-fitted having side shields or to look having wide-open eyes, typically having amazement. This is funny because when someone goggle at a thing that their eyes got really big and they appear a bit silly. This is further enhanced if someone goggle with their mouth opens wide.

Malarkey

Precisely meaning rubbish or non-sense. It is funny due to the fact that it is a hilariously non-sensical word describing something which is rubbish or non-sensical.

Nincompoop

A foolish or a stupid person, that is the meaning. Once, again it is a sillier word that has been formed to describe a fool. Although it is an insult, it is simply funny not to use it once in a while.

Badger

It basically, means a nocturnal omnivorous mammal that belongs to the weasel family. Or continuous and annoyingly asking a person to do something. Once there was an English television show named ‘Bodger and Badger’ and the badger in it simply looked ridiculous. Badgers are usually, a bit hilarious anyhow.
