so, there is a running joke in my family that i'm super weird about words. it started this june, but i have no idea how. all i remember is sitting in the passenger seat of our van, heading to the beach with my family, and my dad throwing words at me like "what about this one?" me: "eww gross." dad: "okay, this one!"
summary: i am a very literary person. i love to read and, therefore, words have a special + vivid meaning. thus, certain words are absolutely disgusting and graphically descriptive, and make me gag. i apologize in advance for the disgustingness, xD.
. moist
DO I REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE??? i think it's a universal truth that everyone hates this word. seriously, i looked it up. it's the grossest word according to a nationwide (?) poll. *gags*
. damp
it's just gross, okay? i don't know why it bothers me, but ewwww.
. snigger
ewwww. idk, maybe it's the way it's said, but it really grosses me out.
. puddle
blehh. when i told dad this one, he said, "so this sentence would bother you? a puddle of moist, damp mildew." and i gagged.
. backwash
'nuff said.
. snuffle
some things....just don't need to be explained. they're just gross.
. cocoon
this is actually my dad's idea...this word really grosses him out. it's okay when used as a verb, but the noun usage is *gags*.
. casing
every time we have sausage for dinner, my brothers love to gross me out by using this word as often as possible. x_x
. mildew
I'M SO SORRY FOR HAVING SUCH A GROSS BLOG POST!
me: ooh this is a great idea. i'll write about all the really nasty and disgusting words.
me *after writing it* : oh no, what have i done. i'm going to make everyone sick.
I'M SO SORRY! unless i'm just the weird one and these words don't bother you?
. stump
yup.
. digit
in reference to fingers. *cringes*
. stubby
fun story: at a family lunch with my grandparents + aunt, uncle, + cousins, i was telling my aunt about our "game" (dad and i try to find words to gross each other out), and she thought it was hilarious.
update at next lunch: my aunt tells me that now, her family is doing the same thing, but to find the words that gross "cousin allison" out. xD
. pouch
for some reason, this word really bothers me.
. burrow
just looking at this word makes me want to gag.
. congeal
again, some words are just nasty. like this one.
. molt
-_-
. tub
relatively new addition to my growing list of nasty words. i was in physics class last week, and this is how the conversation went:
friend #1, reading from textbook: place the tub on the board-
me: ew, tub is a gross word.
friend #2: huh yea, i can see that.
*five minutes later*
friend #3: OH MY GOSH, tub is a nasty word! i can't stop thinking about it! okay guys, no one say tub anymore. we'll say container.
and for the rest of class, we made everyone say container instead, xD.
y'all, i am so sorry for this disgusting blog post, xD. next week, i'll have a post with all my favorite words, really good descriptive + vivid ones that instead of gagging, make me laugh. ;)
what words gross you out?
or am i just the weird one
that's super sensitive to
words? xD
who's excited for "the
crimes of grindelwald"
ME!
<3 <3,
allison
