Farcical

Filed Under F 

I use this word a lot when playing Mad Libs! I love the sound of it. I love anything that’s a farce - not in the fraudulent sense, but in the entertaining sense. (A lot of things I say are either farcical or facetious; sometimes it’s hard to know where the boundary is.) It also sounds kinda like “bicycle,” which gives an impression of moving along, traveling, getting someplace at a sedate pace (not too fast, not too slow). I suppose another reason is that it has a “K” sound in it, and funny words supposedly need a K or a P sound. And finally, it’s an unusual enough word to get attention when it’s used - so I use it when I want attention!
