I'm having an argument with someone about this (yes, it's a very stupid argument). Don't think, just answer. I need the ILM massive to prove me right.

Which is funnier:

Ferret...

or...

Defrock.

defrock

I'll second defrock.

Definately defrock. The potential for double entendre is just so much richer.

Ferret.

I wonder if this is a US culture vs English-derivative culture thing.

defrock

ferret was funnier in the 70's but it's a bit overplayed. Defrock is now funnier.

to paraphrase McGreevey, sort of, I am an American.

I'm a ferret man myself

You should get a job in the Jim Rose Circus.

Defrock. But you could try getting away with adding ferret to the noun, verb or adjective thread.

Defrock. I've got ferret as a noun and a verb, but an adjective? (I guess like ferret fur or something, but...)

A: She's a looker.

B: She's fit?

A: She's ferret fit, mate.

Ferret. It sounds funny and they move funny. The sound has to be funny as well - defrock has too many hard sylabbles. Context and meaning aside, of course. Zucchinni is funny. Summer squash isn't. Although squash is very funny. Maybe summer squash is funnier than zucchinni. Defrocked isn't funny sounding to me - puddle always makes me laugh, however.

Aye, I'm not feeling dfrocked. Debagged is MUCH better. Ferret is an excellent word, as is analogue, especially when used in conjunction with ferret. Analogue ferret - see?

Definitely defrock. Priests are funnier than animals.
