An inherently funny word is a word that is humorous without context, often more for its phonetic structure than for its meaning. Vaudeville tradition holds that words with the letter k are funny. A 2015 study at the University of Alberta suggested that the humor of certain nonsense words can be explained by whether they seem rude, and by the property of entropy; the improbability of certain letters being used together in a word. The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer posited that humor is a product of one's expectations being violated.

  • Sugeriu-se que certas palavras fossem inerentemente engraçadas. A tradição Vaudeville sustenta que as palavras com a letra k são engraçadas. Um estudo de 2015 da Universidade de Alberta sugeriu que o humor de certas palavras nonsenses pode ser explicado pelo fato de parecerem rudes e pela propriedade da entropia - a improbabilidade de certas letras serem usadas juntas em uma palavra.
