My favourite Welsh phrase is bwrddsmyddio which means "ironing board" but more literally means "board (bwrdd) for smooth(smydd)ing(io)." It's pronounced boorth-smuth-ee-oh where the THs imply a hard TH as in English 'the' rather than a soft one as in 'three.' The OO is pronounced as in English 'food.'

Welsh also separates iron as in the metal (haearn, pronounced "hey-urn," so it's cognate with the English word) from iron as in the tool to smooth clothes (smyddio).

An American friend of mine liked Super Furry Animals a bunch and told me he likes "the album with all the made-up gibberish." He wasn't trying to make fun of Welsh: he legitimately didn't know the silly sounds they were making were an actual language.
What do you expect from a language whose native name for itself is 'cum rag?"
