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 .  ..
