Scrunched
Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic
I think 'scrunched' is the longest one I've seen in this post, I can't think of a longer one.
In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that 'abbreviate' is such a long word.
If people pronounce squirrel as one syllable, then I guess squirreled could be as well, but it’s not in my dialect.
Funt. Looks horrendously rude, resembles two terrible English words, but is completely without meaning in and of itself. Unless you let UrbanDictionary tell you that it's the combination of those two words anyway.
It's also the noise things make when launched out of a tube by compressed air, if not the noise made by lighting gases in a test tube, both of which are highly entertaining.
The spelling "phoont" may be preferable.

I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.

Moist. No but really ive always thought "sedge" is a funny sounding word.
fart
Hump
Also: dink
Edit: hehehehehehe
You must be a fan of The Princess Bride, or as I like to call it Prince Humperdink and that Blasted Woman Who Didn't Want to Get Married
Your edit is the whole reason I'm here :)
Engelbert Humperdinck ?
As a mountaineer I enjoy the word "cwm". Sounds like it should nasty but in reality it's just Welsh for cirque.
That’s the only word in the (American) English language that uses w as a vowel (I hope British English has a stronger Welsh influence, but I can’t say). If you learned “and sometimes y and w” as part of your vowels, that’s the reason why.

How do you pronounce that, is it something like "coom" ?
I can totally get why it would sound gross
