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.)

Unit to take a bath?

I like "albedo".

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.

How about "member"?
