Oral DISpleasures

hatred,violence, meaness, lonely

rack, gristle, crack.

scrotum git okay i feel bad writing scrotum but here goes cunt...i really hate that word anything that is impossible to spell.....like convivial....that might just be me not being able to spell but i was trying to think of an easy one how about....kilamijaro...no i like that...erm.....crap i can't think of any at all now guess i changed my mind.

Notice these are all horrid things as well as horrid words (though some may dispute scrotum - I'm rather attached to mine...) Are there nice things that have nasty-sounding words ? I don't like the phrase "Knickerbocker Glory", it sounds like a medieval torture device. "Glisten" is not nice, reminds me of snails rather than dew. (and also one of my pet themes - the phrases is All that Glisters is not gold, not All that glitters...)

Words I don't like because of their sound or because of a bad association in my mind, not necessarily because I dislike what the word stands for, though I might (enough qualifiers?) vinegar (like the substance, hate the word) deteriorate (can't pronounce that one to save my life) professional (word typically used as an offensive weapon in the workplace, though I believe in the concept even if I almost never see it) polite (see professional) decanter ( bad sound) pollup (can't spell it; don't like it) newt (Gingrich or otherwise, don't like it) gnome (garden or otherwise) tadpole (no reason; just don't like it) squishy (self-explanatory) liquid (see squishy, then spit and speak properly) hurl (self-explanatory) self-explanatory (self-explanatory) Must think of more.

Robert's not going to like that one.

LOL - horrible computer speak one - when used instead of I minge - a rather sinsister sounding euphemism bust - when referring to something soft and feminine bosom - same reason suck - as a criticism entrepreneur - meaning greedy little toerag

Oh yes, doesn't entrepreneur just sound like the horrid smell and taste of your fingers after you've handled coins ? Sort of grubby and metallic.

brilliant word description andrew. corker, that one, hope youve used it in a piece (if not, do)

I agree, Andrew. And I like the word corker, Liana. "I say, what a corker!"

evangelical - freaks me out institution - makes me wanna rebel. poultice and poultry - ugh bog - puts disturbing images in my mind. slug and slimey - enuf said. sewer - another disturbing thought. christian - fills me with fear. cock - I hate that word so much. cunt - I hate for the same reasons toad and trog and damsel. wart - makes me cringe. I also hate jolly, folly, chap and golly. toilet - too official official - too politically correct. and wee and poo and faeces - p*ss and sh*t are much more satisfying words - but I hate those too. oh and I hate the word slut and gut, willy and frilly. and pink and stink. phlegm and bogey.

Is it really necessary to use this thread as an excuse to use the 'c' word? Everybody knows it's not nice so why bother to type it?

sorry mississippi was jus typing off the top of my head words I dislike, sorry 4 any offence like. I do hate those 'c' words though.

How come words like @!#$ etc get the bleep, bleep, bleep treatment, yet THAT "C" word that is the most disgusting,despicable, demeaning,derogatory and foul word in the whole of the english language is allowed through??????? AJ (A disgusted and disgruntled ABC'er)!!!!!!!

don't know man... maybe its because it is in its very nature despicable that it takes on the character of dispicableness and it bypasses the filter to deliberately fill us with disgust. Cause thats the nature of dispicable I guess.

Tom...regarding Lol...I dislike that phrase too, but use it all the time....stupid inint? (another one!) I would not dream of writing *loads of laughs* in a letter, so I'm not sure why I use at all????? *confused* LOL.... hehehe .....

'Loads of laughs' ! LOL

yeah I dislike 'lol' as well... but keep using it. Its annoying. Do you think we are being subliminally hypnotised by the internet?

MAN............MAN, who dare you Fucky Seagirl, I am ALL woman. AJ

its FUNKY Aj!!!! :o))))

hehehe

soz AJ woman

OK, I forgive you Funky, this time!!!! AJ :>#

Oh my god, Jackies at it now! Mark! Mark!!! MARK!!!!

words are lovely little blighters and i love them. all of them. absolutely. how their meaning slips and slops about from time to time, from place to place. its utterly delicious...

are you a dog with a hair lip mississippi? sorry all bad taste joke.

No, I shave regularly!

Blimey, brain has gone all numb. Every time I think of a word I realise the real reason I don't like it is the meaning not the sound. Can think of plenty of words I don't like the meaning of but not a single one I don't like the sound of per se. By the way, is the short and sharp exchange between Mr. F. Seagull and Mrs. Hippy above final proof that the 'c' word (forgive my coyness, don't want to open old wounds) the very last swear word, given that the 'f' word has passed into common usage. I mean to say my kids think nothing of saying it (the 'f' word) openly in front of me, for 'f' sake. Why do people find this word (the 'c' word) so offensive or have I got it all wrong? As it happens I used to work with a young lady who, when she was feeling in a particularly playful mood, would say to the nearest bloke: 'Would you like to come down to the basement and play with me and Mike Hunt.' She didn't mean it off course but it worked every time. PS. What's happened to the filter that was meant to do all this censorship for us? On strike?

Misogynist!

Er...not you, Missus, naturally...

I thought LOL meant laugh out loud? I hate the word biggomy if that's how you write it and sadomasochist how hard is that to write....although never actually ued it in anything i've written i don't think...

Well I don't hate LOL that much. It was just a list. It's difficult to take a piece of writing seriously when it contains words like: chortle, titter, guffaw. Just an observation.

poo and gobbet

Gibblets

Gizzards, gonads (camel's or otherwise), gristle.

Go easy on the camel's plums Tom, Andrea is quite partial to them!

She is indeed, Missi. Reminds me of this: Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Shadows painting our faces Traces of romance in our heads Heaven's holding a half moon Shining just for us Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon And Kick up a little dust Come on cactus is our friend He'll point out us the way Come on 'till the evening ends 'till the evening ends You don't have to answer There's no need to speak I'll be your belly dancer Prancer; and you can be my sheik I know your daddy's a sultan He's a nomad known to all With fifty girls to attend him They all send him And jump at his beck and call But you won't need no harem honey When I am by your side And you won't need no camel No no, when I take you for a ride Come on cactus is our friend He'll point out us the way Come on 'till the evening ends 'till the evening ends Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Shadows painting our faces Traces of romance in our heads

do have to love that song....
