brňavka - funny bone

A new word to add to my ever-growing Czech vocabulary . . .

My colleague says I need to learn “useful” words, rather than “hromonice”, for example,

But somehow my mind latches onto these instead….

 

But the derivation of “funny bone” is more elaborate than I would have tho’t . ..

The latinate for the elbow is “humerus”, hence, funny bone,

The antics of those afflicted, not with standing .  ..

Lichtenstein - Sweet Dreams Baby

always good for a laff .  . .

the National Galerie near Vysteviste has this blown up huge onto a wall, also . . .

I asked my czech friends if Vysteviste sounded as funny to them as it does to me . . .

"Only whey you say it", they answered . . . 8^D . . .

Ouch!
