Words That Amuse Me #23

Unit.

This is a funny word. I hear and say it often in my job.

"I have a defective unit"
"What is the problem with this unit?"
"My unit is out to lunch." (someone said that to me yesterday.)

An EpSig Brother in the class after me got the nickname "Certified Unit Inspector". We agree, Unit is a fun word.

Although "albedo" also has its moments. I also like "syzygy".

syzygy is an excellent word. I learned it in 2nd grade.

"pastrami", "intrepid", and "blender" are among a few of my other favorites.
