Yesterday’s clam question and the entertaining comments related to it got me to thinking. Can you name some words that aren’t “dirty”, but have dirty connotations or sound dirty? Let’s see if we can hit 100 comments. George’s don’t count.

I don’t know why, but the word “moist” has always bothered me. Perhaps it has to do with the way it rolls off the tongue. It just sounds gross.

@Sco,
Funny, I was going to say that one too, but thought it too obscure.
It’s especially creepy since it rhymes with “China” rather than well, “Gina”.
The English language has adopted so many foreign words that it has had to discard many legitimate English words that are now homeless. Who remembers yesterday’s ‘tidal wave’?
Damn diversity. Let’s build a verbal wall to keep those illegal invaders out. Dictionary’s full, so solly.
It’s pronounced ‘regeena’ not regyna. Are you some sort of weird morticians that say ‘rygor mortis’?
Actually, I think it is pronounced exactly like vagina only with a Re instead of the VA.
Unless you pronounce it Vageena? Which would be hilarious.
NB I am not from Saskatchewan but everybody else in Canada pronounces it Ra-Gina.
