Realizing a dictionary was necessary to alert the public, they
created The Dictionary of Uncomfortable Words. Each word is
followed by a brief explanation of why it makes people uneasy when
spoken, such as:
- Abhor: Looks innocuous enough on paper but utterly filthy when
spoken aloud.
- Bull: In most circles, this word is merely a prefix. We prefer
the term "man-cow."
- Congeal: Just because gooey becomes crusty doesn't mean we want
to hear about it.
- Crotch: This word is disturbing even when referring to
trees.
- Dingleberry: This is one fruit you don't want to eat.
- Half-cocked: Sounds like a circumcision that went too far.
- Horehound: A drunk with too much money in his pocket on Saturday
night.
