Silver Tongue

deepspacepirate:

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
