If we are looking for universal taboos then perhaps ‘eating babies’ fits the criteria well. ---

> [@Enright3](#): > > Stepping in dog shit. > > No I mean it. How often is it an action like that is so universally hated that it gets nouned. Growing up, and still in current use in my family is the phrase “Shit Heel.” As in; “you’re such a shit heel.” The dogs here LOVE it when I step in their shit. Doesn’t matter how well I scrape or wash it off, one of the 7 will start licking the bottom of my shoe like there’s a tootsie roll center. If we’re talking just human hating, though, I think you’ve got it. ---

OMG Emily, I hatehatehate the '70’s group ABBA. I get nauseous when a song of theirs comes on the radio, and I’m apt to get violent if anyone I know willingly/deliberately plays their songs. Whew! I’m glad I got that out! ---
