Most disgusting words in the English language?

    Hey folks,

    What do ye think are the most disgusting words in English? Most words evoke some sort of feeling or response in you, for example if I say "jump", you might get a different image in your head than if I said "leap". What word makes you cringe when you hear it?

    A common one is moist. And one that I just said a few seconds ago and so gave me the idea for the thread... puke.

    Both pretty nasty, but I'm sure you wonderful folks have more ideas!

    'Afterbirth'.

    *Think I am still traumatised from the 'Tom Cruise to eat katie holmes's placenta' thread - seriously anytime I see her on tv I think placenta.

    Yes afterbirth is a horrible word! That gets my vote.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I don't find afterbirth disgusting... the word, anyway! It's in the same boat as if someone said "undead". Evokes the same feelings, anywho.

    Dangle-berries is in the lead so far, at least in my books! ew! Fair play Plug.

    Read the title of the thread and the word "Moist" came to my head too.

    "Mucus" is another one.
