gross words

Gross words
Went to dinner with the girls from the days of being an underpaid reporter from the Engineering News. Was great. After a coupla whiskeys started debating about words that sound gross or give you the heebies. Not necessarily words that mean something disgusting, but words that just SOUND awful. Lauren has a serious probelm with: 'moist' and 'making love.' She rolls her eyes and gets all freaked out when we say thsoe words. She also, understandably, thinks 'stool' is a horrible word.
Other words we thought were gross:
Pus
Pustule
panties (another one of Lauren's)
vein
whitehead
cheese
nodule
vesicle
plop
skants
sputum
uvula
butcher
puss
cunt
kidney
faeces
fanny
regina pizza
pink
egg
pong
knob
south
Prague

On the other hand, words that sound fab are:
Tartar
Crotch
taschenpuffer' (hipflask in German)
pantoffoli' (slippers in Italian)
brinjal
aubergine
flagellum
fuck
singe
verbose
astute
colada
Alabama
Dakota
Sevilla

What do you think?
Give me your awful/awesome sounding words...

fotzenschleim is my favourite swear word in the world. My German pal taught me it - it basically means cunt juice. lovely.
