Answer 1

I think the most fun word in Spanish is:

Cacahuate pronounced cah cah hwa tay

In english it means peanut.

Sometimes I call english speaking friends a "Cabesa de cacahuate" (Peanut head) and they always get a chuckle because the word sounds funny and they repeat it.

Interesting?? Maybe, funny yes. Interesting because it sounds funny and people say it who speak english and whether they know it or not it just caused them to begin to learn Spanish.
