As the title says, just post up a word you think sounds funny, maybe explain about it if it's a weird one.

edit to add:

Mugwump... A political term for a person who can't make up their mind... "Sits on the fence of an issue with their 'mug' on side and their 'wump' on the other"...

Mandjoogoordap.

Means 'meeting place of the heart' in Noongah (Aborigine language)

...Actually found a photo of it:
