Call it ‘word aversion’ or the more technical logomisia, there are certain words that just make us all cringe.
Bustle put together the top 13 weird-sounding words and explained why we hate them. The #1 on the list is, unsurprisingly, ‘moist.’
Here are the rest. Can you make it through without cringing?
1. Moist
2. Ointment
3. Creamy
4. Squid
5. Squirt
6. Squelch
7. Phlegm
8. Smear
9. Slurp
10. Lugubrious
11. Curd
12. Pulp
13. Mucus
I made it to #5 before cringing.
Are there any other words you would add to this list?
