This post in inspired by my friend Shayne, who, is known locally for her “word issues”.
Uncomfortable Words
She has an EXTENSIVELY long list of words that gross her out. I remember having dinner at her place awhile ago. While standing around the fire pit… we engaged in a loooooong discussion about all the words that made us squirm.
Then recently, I spied a post on Shayne’s Facebook page. It read:
Just added the word “snippet” to words that gross me out. Other words you ask? Foamy, frothy, moist, rotisserie, the P word, the V word, (cannot even type them apparently). The best word you ask? Splice, definitely splice. I know I’m a freak. Anyone else have words they can’t stand, or totally love?
I would say, I am pretty on par with her little list there… really it is “little” compared to her full list. Including but not limited to, “Rotisserie”
My contribution? GARNISH. My newest gross-out word has been GARNISH.
It just feels wrong, doesn’t it? I also am a bit uncomfortable with cabinet. Not sure why.
Of course there is the long-standing business and junk, but those 2 words just make me snicker.
In the words of my friend Shayne, I ask you… Anyone else have words they can’t stand, or totally love?
