Thursday Thirteen - Gross Words - 5/8/08

The prompt this week is gross. The following are words that are gross to me. Words that are considereed profanity are not included. That would be too easy. Some of these words will appear gross even if you do not know the definition. They are in no order of grossness. There are many more but these came to mind.

1. Phlegm
2. Pus
3. Mucus
4. Queef
5. Septic
6. Sewage
7. Fecal
8. Laceration
9. Prepuce
10. Lesion
11. Pungent
12. Putrid
13. Seepage

    Laceration? Come on man. I am with you on the others...but laceration. Surely someone with your heritage and sound upbringing can top that. I realize you do have an extensive list, but...laceration? I mean seriously.

    Go Figure:

    Perhaps I could replace it with muck, corpse, excrement, mange, festering, fungus, schmegma, splooge, bile, dookie, regurgitate, snot, loogey, booger, turd, felch, sludge, secrete, jism, shart, or crevice. Your choice.

    Nice list, much better. Festering is a word I try to use daily! Thus I will go with the old favorite. Actually it is a common law term meaning to fest, and it comes from the Latin deriveration of feast. Not sure how it come out of that but he maybe that is why it is a dead language?

    Go Figure:

    Then festering it is. With my mining background, I was leaning towards muck or sludge, but festering is a good word. I love words that can never have a positive definition.

    Queef? And how do you know this word? I didn't learn this word until last year! Great list. I actually like the word pungent.
