Your Feelings Toward These Gross-Sounding Words Will Reveal Your Most Polarizing Quality

Does the word “moist” make you shudder?

14 comments

The English language is filled with words that are a pleasure to hear. Yet there are also some words that make your skin crawl as soon as they are mentioned. From moist to pus to dangle, such words instantly evoke horrible feelings. But do you know why?

We think that such objectionable words are obviously ones that sound disgusting. Words that contain the letters 'b', 'g', 'm', 'u' and 'o' tend to be gross due to the sound they make. But research has also shown that we may hate words based on their associations. Words that relate to uncomfortable things equally irk us. Imagine hearing words related to bodily functions with the aforementioned 'phonetically abrasive' letters. Ew!

Tell us how grossed out you get by the following words. Your honest word opinions will reveal which of your qualities creates the most polarizing sentiments in the people around you!

    I got: Cynicism!

    I don’t look at my state of mind as cynicism. It’s more like having a professional view of a sound without getting caught up in a visual or audio take on it.

    I got: Opinionated!
    You are extremely passionate about what you believe in and proudly speak out about it. But people believe that you think your opinions are the only ones. They might think you don’t accept others’ opinions, but you actually welcome them.

    I got: Cynicism!

    You try to be realistic in every situation because you like weighing out all the possible options. But, it may look like you’re being pessimistic to some.

    I got: Confidence!
    Your confidence in your abilities is definitely admirable. However, some people take it as over-confidence or arrogance. You just take pride in your endeavors.

    Heyyy- Completely opposite result of what I expected and of what I really am.๐Ÿ˜‚

    I got dry wit. Hmm….okay. What should I say? That’s true to a good extent. This quiz irritates me, just a teeny bit.
