Episode #019, 12.02.2012: ridiculous (ridunculous, redonkulous)

Sound: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ridiculous
ridiculous, adjective. Deserving to be laughed at, absurd, unreasonable.
In a sentence: “This clown is ridiculous.”
By the way, a synonym is goofy, which means silly. Quite appropriately, the silly Walt Disney cartoon character was named Goofy.
In order to find an even stronger word than ridiculous, (young) people have termed the words ridunculous and redonkulous. Those words are quite simply, just even more ridiculous versions of the word ridiculous. Ridunculous can also be understood as a blend of redundant and ridiculous.
