Words that just sound dirty

Hoary.

(from some directions I read this morning)

“grease a muffin pan”

Sputum.

:open_mouth: I need a dictionary.

Ewwwww. That’s gross.

I thought of another one. Tangy.

… hmmm maybe I should list words that don’t sound dirty.

I just read someone’s recipe that used “burrito skins.” I googled the phrase and found 355 references. Among the first few were a First-Person Shooter team containing Burrito Skin and Forskinikus, and a post about something like, “I guess I’m just a Southern gal . . . I like to taste my burrito skin.”

Now THAT’s dirty!

A word I have just come across :- defalcation. This is a banking term for embezzlement.

My English teacher is found of saying things like “Good literature is designed to stick in your craw.”

Yuck. Literature doesn’t belong way up there!

Y’know, I think I got called all of these when I was in boot camp back in '74. I’m almost certain the drill sergeant called me a screwjack and a puckfist a couple of times in the same day. Not sure about cockaleekie, though. Possibly.
