If you didn't realize it, yesterday was Dictionary Day, named for Noah Webster's birthday in 1758. And while an obvious suggestion for how to spend it would be "bettering our vocabularies," we've chosen instead to snicker at potty talk like the 12-year-old boys we are inside.

So we present this list of words that while innocent in meaning, elicit just as many smirks and giggles from us as they did in grade school. Call us immature; just don't call us fallacious, cause that word makes us laugh.
