This is for fun--words that are naturally descriptive, sound dirty, or bug you

[HourglassGuy]

Definitely.

A mate and I came up with a half-hearted list in high school during a boring physics lesson of words we found morbidly fascinating and amusing.

Moist was #1, followed by pudding and then (his choice) tweed.

I thought it was all long forgotten until I purposely used the phrase "moist tweed" - difficult to fit into a regular conversation, as I'm sure you can appreciate - on New Year's Eve, long before everyone was plastered, and he fell off his chair laughing.

LoL! Dude, I don't get it though... tweed? What the hell is so fascinating about tweed? Not to mention pudding.

Pudding.

Pudding. Pudding.

I've even thought about it closely. I've said it slowly three times. Still, nothing fascinating comes to mind. Pudding is pudding is pudding is pudding.

Oh wait. Now it sounds kinda weird.

 

[teadrinker]

"futtock" - it's the rudest sounding word I know that has in fact a perfectly clean meaning (look it up).

-T.

You see? It is weird! Especially when it gets turned into a cartoon movie called The Magic Pudding.

Tweed - not so sure. As I said, it was my mate's choice. I had a vote down for "kitchen," for some still-unknown reason.

Yes - we're easily amused in the 3rd world.

I always thought the name Dickinson was nasty. Dick-in-son.

 

[Tongue_Me]

My teacher's name in juniors was Handcock. Hand-cock hand-cock, I can just hear the screams.

Oxnard has to be the worst name for a place to live! Oxnard, California ... apologies to any Oxnard-ers

 

[eddielee]

Zit. I hate that word. It sounds crude. I cringe when someone uses it in a conversation.

 

[trawler69]

Ball Cock, the thing that stops your toilet cistern from over filling. Had a mate whose surname was Ballcock, he changed it but he did once try to seduce me so I guess it fitted quite well

cummingtonite
dyke

the list is endless. And I know you've all been wondering, soo....

Yes, subduction always leads to orogeny

Craptacular!

I always thought the name Dickinson was nasty. Dick-in-son.

I never know how to pronounce it when somebody's last name is Fuchs.

My favorite Italian word is frigorifero -- means refrigerator. I'm constantly saying* "Let's see what's in the frigorifero."
