What are the most humorous uses of any cricket jargon terms so far?

As far as I can tell, though, the name "Cunis" doesn't really suggest either of those unmentionable words. That is, it doesn't sound like either of them. How do you pronounce it, anyway? "Q-nis" (like Younis), or "Kun-is"?

I think we are going to get into trouble, so maybe you can send a Q to one of the mods, with your e-mail address and I will explain it to you :)

It's not a sound per se, but rather what one might achieve when splitting the word then adding a few letters here-and-there: put one letter at the end of the first three, and two at the beginning of the last three.

See?

I understand all that. It's just that when I see the word/name "Cunis", neither of those two words come to mind... and, I dunno, it doesn't seem funny to me.

I didn't really find it funny either and the fact that people have dragged it out by 20+ posts makes it less so. :p

" The England captain does seem to have an itchy problem there"

Benaud (I think) when the England captain came on the screen wondering where to place the field while scratching his crotch.

It was more 'clever' or 'witty' than funny.
