Similar to [[Always Wanted to Say That]] and often related to [[Inherently Funny Words]], this is when someone admits the only reason they said, or keep saying, a certain word or phrase is that it's fun to say. This is often followed by them saying it again, sometimes several times in a row.

== [[Literature]] ==
* One of the dwarves/dwarfs in ''The Soddit'' becomes obsessed with the word "moot". Initially he just repeats it to himself ("moot, moot, moot!") then later he insists on inserting himself in any conversation where something is undecided, just so he can say "that's moot."
* In ''[[
* One of the footnotes to the published script of ''[[The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)||The Compleat Wks of Willm Shkspr (Abridged)]]'' states that "this editor really likes writing the word 'Zimbabwe.' Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe."

* On ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', when Leonard and Penny are drunk:

'''Penny''': Because I like peppermint, and it's fun to say ''sch-napps'' }}
* [[Miranda]] does this [[Once an Episode]], declaring that a word she's just used is a nice word, and repeats it a few times. Sometimes done again later in the episode, with a different word, before launching back to the first word.
** It's a funny word, isn't it? Word. The word word... is a funny word... WORD. [[Call Back|CLUTCH!]]
* On ''[[Seinfeld]]'', Jerry hypothesizes that the reason salsa is the most popular condiment is because everybody likes saying "salsa".
