Question

Tickle Your Funny Bone to make you laugh; to amuse somebody

Accepted Answer

Jessica's hilarious antics always tickle my funny bone. There's a bone in your upper arm at the back of your elbow that has the Latin name "humerus." Since that sounds like "humorous," people have been calling it the "funny bone" for many years. If you accidentally bump it, the sensitive nerve in your elbow tingles as if electricity were running through it. If you laugh at a joke, then, according to this expression, it's tickling your funny bone. (Sometimes the funny bone is called the "crazy bone.")
