This erroneous definition of spoonerism is enchanting. Apparently, the child had already heard of the spoon and therefore defined a spoon as follows: “A spoon is a love story”. Ouch. Exclusively for Mamamia readers, here are my top 10 funny definitions from The Funny Dictionary: The adjective funny can be used to describe those quick and funny little remarks that often show vivid and biting humor delivered in a playful way. Funny usually describes things that are fun at the drop of a hat, rather than elaborate or carefully planned remarks in advance. This adjective is usually used in a complementary way, but like its cousin intelligently, it can be used sarcastically, as someone who doesn`t appreciate your sentences by saying, “Well, aren`t we funny today.” A funny remark is smart and funny and just the right timing.

American humorous a very young child, especially the one who started crawling (= moving on the ground) This word is not the one you want to hear, nor is it something you are likely to call someone else, as flibbertigibbet means a person who is frequently “babbling or fleeting” and can be taken negatively.
