The word “moist” is the Number One universally reviled word in the English language due to both its definition and the way it sounds. Similarly gross words include
- chunks
- curdling
- squirt
- munch
- bulbous
- pustule
- sink
- squirm
- slippery
Which got me wondering, can I elicit the same emotions with words that have no meaning? And the answer is “Yes, yes you definitely can.”
So here it is: words and phrases that elicit “thanks, i hate it!” by sheer negative sonority
- scrungo
- beesechurger
- mingus
- hurgling
- tungus
- Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus
- slurm
- chungus
- crungle
- gunch
But did you know you can make it even worse by combining them??
- bucket of curdling chunks
- the pustulous gunch muncher
- your squirming tungus
- this crungy beesechurger
- a squirting chungus
- the slurm sink
- a slippery mingus
And my all time favorite
