There are certain words that one should never say out loud. The kind of word that make your hair stand a little bit up on end or make you feel like you've just revealed something personal that you didn't mean to share with the group. Like moist, for example. The one good thing about it, however, is that when you're trying to take a family picture with several people who are typically not very photogenic (ahem. me), and your slightly, or maybe more than slightly, crass brother shouts the word "moist" at the top of his lungs, everyone doubles over into a belly laugh that cannot be contained, which actually doesn't result in the best pictures for some of us, but it's better than an uncomfortable grimace, right?
Other words on my "banned words" list include: panties, bulbous, gyrate, (which one of my professors managed to work into almost every lecture for a whole semester. Sometimes he even acted out the verb for us...) pimple, and several words that, while pure in and of themselves, connote various body parts or functions. I'll leave those to your imagination.

HAHAHAHA gyrate. That's a good one. I'll have to think more about my most hated words...
I think you covered all of my ick words, Kelly. Moist (shudder), in particular. You may find it amusing/cringe worthy that a crazy old lady that I worked with told a fellow co-worker that she was jealous because people seemed to gyrate toward her. We HOPE she meant to say 'gravitate'. I HOPE that made you smile. Miss you!
