Is there a word that makes your skin crawl?

Recommended Posts

Examples: my word is "kiss". I must find the term too intimate, because I always say, "We made out" or "They were making out". Never, "Then he kissed me." It just gives me the willies typing it. :S

Anyway, then my friend Julia HATES the word "moist". It just grosses her out. :D

So, are we crazy, or are there words that make your skin crawl? :o

No words that I can think of off-hand, but fingernails across a blackboard is just as bad for me. :D



What, watching and thinking to yourself "Gee, that must hurt!"?

;):P

your crazy... ok not really... I have a friend that also doesn't like the word "moist"...

I don't have any words that make me cringe...

in fact I'm a huge fan of the double entandra where you can use a word for two meanings depending on how its read.

"Upscale". Especially when used with the word "lifestyle" as in "upscale lifestyle center" being used to describe nothing but a glorified strip mall full of shops selling trendy overpriced crap. Makes me wanna puke. But that's just me.

Not really... for some weird reason, even though I'm deaf, there's something about the vibrations that really gets me. I have felt it even without looking. :S

So, the idea of old people having noisy monkey sex in the next room doesn't make you cream your jeans, eh? ;)

Now you understand why Lynn and I always get a motel room during the H-town parties...we try to protect the delicate sensibilities of you youngsters. :P

I think it goes back to hearing my mom's friends talk about creaming their jeans when I was WAY to young to hear stuff like that.



Oh gross! :S Now I can see that there was a definite advantage to having an uptight, conservative mother!
