Chortle, Girth, and Sunday Naps

I blame my Sunday nap for this post. It’s two in the morning and I’m bored. So I decided to write on m blog for some reason. Here are some random facts about my blog’s title.


If you google “chortle girth” my blog is the first thing that comes up. There are only 16,000 words. I guess not many people know how cool those words are together.


If you google “chortle” my blog is on page 25 and there are 1,020,000 results.


If you google “girth” 74 pages of results come up but my blog isn’t on any of them. But that might be a good thing because turns out “girth” is associated with a lot of scandalous websites.


There are no results for youtubing “Chortle Girth”


When you youtube “chortle” the first video is some British dude doing stand up but the video and sound sucks so I didn’t even finish watching it.


Youtubing “Girth” brings up more scandalous things. It’s too bad Youtube and Google are sullying such a fantastic word.


www.dictionary.com is a great way to interrupt the silence in the schools computer lab (I’ll tell you some awesome stories later). When you look up a word a voice will pronounce the word for you. Some times it’s a man and sometimes it’s a woman. And sometimes it’s an effeminate man.


Chortle is a woman’s voice.


Girth is a woman’s voice as well.


Chortle is a verb that means, “to chuckle gleefully.”


Girth is a noun that means, “circumference.”


If your looking up words on www.dictionary.com to see which voice is used then it’s time for bed. Good night.

Favorite Words and Phrases

In my moleskin notebook I keep a list of my favorite words and phrases. As of May 16, 2010 there are 31 words or phrases on the list.


The kinds of words that make it on the list are words that are fun to say, words that look funny, or words that mean something special to me.


The first two words on my list are Chortle and Girth. It’s no coincidence that this blog is called Chortle at My Girth. Both Chortle and Girth are examples of words that are just fun to say.


Chortle doesn’t really remind me of anything. It’s just a fun word. According to dictionary.com it means “to chuckle gleefully.” Now that’s just awesome.


Girth is a word that makes me laugh. Mostly because it reminds me of my favorite stand up comedian Brian Regan. If you and I were in the same room right now I would do the whole routine for you. So because typing the joke will never be as funny as actually hearing the joke I’ve posted the video for you to watch.


Chortle and Girth are the first two words on my favorite words and phrases list but that doesn’t make them my absolute most favorite words. They just happen to be the first two that made it on there.


I wont tell you what the rest of the list is right now. You’ll just have to check back as I slowly fill in the gaps.
