Smug.
Now there is a word for you. Sounds just the way that it feels when it comes out of your mouth. Like a smack to the face.
You smug bastard.
Usually administered with a smile on the face of both the giver, and the recipient.
Smug is one of a long list of words that I have issue with. Well, not really issue…it is just part of a list of words that are attached to images in my head. Like the word “moist”.
I really don’t know anyone who doesn’t say “moist” without a look of mild disgust on their face. Just the sound of the word is mildly disgusting. Like a sheen of sweat all over your body….one that you just can’t get rid of.
Moist.
Gives me the shudders.
“Piss” is another word that I am not fond of. It is a urine test, not a “piss test”. The use of that word is like a slap in the face every time I hear someone use it.
Starting to sound like a prude. Guess I am getting old. What words set your teeth on edge? And keep it clean, this is a family show……

Well, we’ve had a discussion about the “f” word, haven’t we? That does it for me.

Jeff, I really didn’t get into pejorative language. In that category, there are more than I care to discuss.

Not a word, but the phrase, “knocked up”.
