> Like anuything you grow up with, they probably dont even notice it 
anymore.  There are lots of words like this in any language...in the 
UK, there is also the small bird called a 'Blue Tit', and the front 
bib of a suit called a 'dicky'.>

See now, I'm 31 and a name like 'Blue Tit' still makes me giggle.  
Matt Groening, in the days before "The Simpsons" had a brilliant 
series of comics called "Life is Hell".  One was called "School is 
Hell" and he dedicated a page to all the words that make school kids 
giggle.  My personal favorite is Lake Titicaca (I'm giggling now).

My cousin's five year old son went a little crazy when someone made 
the horrible mistake of saying "naked" in front of him.  He then 
proceeded to share all of his favorites by calling out words like 
"Tushy!" and laughing while rolling around on the floor.  The sick 
thing is that I sat there and laughed too.
