Awkward

It is perfectly horrible… literally. It is awkward to say. AWK-word. Sounds like it comes from the lexicon of a penguin-like bird. It is awkward to spell… Ks and Ws aren’t bigtime Scrabble stars for nothing. It is awkward to spell out loud (try it… A-W-K-W-A-R-D. You could sprain a tongue.) It contains two Ws, the single dumbest letter in the English language because it’s the only one with three syllables. It is, therefore, the summit of onomatopoeia… it sounds, spells, spells out loud, reads and utilizes letters… awkwardly.
