WE'RE GOING TO WARM THINGS UP
THIS AFTERNOON.
CHANGES COMING OUR WAY.
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT
COMING UP.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
THIS ONE.
ARE THERE WORDS THAT MAKE YOU
CRINGE WHEN YOU HEAR THEM?
EXPERTS ASKED 500 WOMEN WHAT
THEY CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST
UNPLEASANT WORDS IN THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE.
ON THE LIST, THREE OF THE TOP
CONTENDERS.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT
THOSE.
NUMBER ONE, THEY HATE THE WORD
"MOIST"." 77% OF THE WOMEN
POLLED REPORTED AN EXTREME
DISLIKE OF THAT WORD.
AN EXPERT SAYS THEY BELIEVE
IT'S THE SOUND OF THE WORD,
EVEN THOUGH THE WORD "HOIST" IS
CLOSE.
DAMP,
MOIST AND STICKY, YOU SEE.
NUMBER TWO, HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE WORD "JUNKY," AND IS
COULD BE SEEN AS INSULTING.
NUMBER THREE, HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE WORD "FLAP"?
IN THIS STUDY, 22% OF THE WOMEN
HATED THAT WORD.
THE STUDY'S AUTHOR WASN'T
REALLY SURE WHY.
HE THINKS THERE'S DISCOMFORT
WITH WORDS THAT COULD
POTENTIALLY DESCRIBE THE HUMAN
BODY, SINCE FLAP MAY CALL TO
MIND SKIN FLAP OR THE WINGS
UNDER YOUR ARMS AS YOU BEGIN TO
AGE, THE BAT WINGS FLAPPING
AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THE OTHER WORDS, YOU HAVE TO GO
TO "GOOD DAY" AND CLICK SHOW
INFORMATION.
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE A LOT OF WEB TRAFFIC
TODAY.
