In your opinion, what is the most disgusting word in the English language? Feel free to list several in order of grossness.
I also know someone who is disgusted by the word 'broth'. If I was in a Chinese restaurant and given a bowl of broth with fried rice he would get annoyed at me for calling it broth and insist I just say 'clear soup'.
Haha I'm going back to my favorite George Carlin standup for this. Most of them are phrases or expressions, but they're disgusting!
Jerry:
I also don’t at all get this thing about “moist” being disgusting. It seems to stem from a certain revulsion towards human secretions, but I can’t help thinking that it’s also a bit of a fad - like so many other things - not to like “moist”.
I like the words “moist” and “moisture”. To me they are very fundamental concepts in terms of describing nature: ‘the moist, fertile soil’
Water is a wonderful thing, without it there would be no life. And “moist” just means something contains water.
I have never heard a Dane express dislike of the Danish word for “moist”.
