Ugly Words

There are words out there that are just plan out ugly. You speak of them and they don’t sound like they could possibly have anything good about them, and usually most of the time that stands true. Are these words really ugly or are they to us just because we associate them with something that disgust us and makes us think of the nastiness of them. Some words that I think sound ugly would be the word “ugly” it just makes you think of a foul picture. Other word that is ugly to me is the words “vomit, puke, phlegm, slaughter, snot, damp, moist, and mucus.” These words stand out as ugly to me because vomit and puke is just chunks of acid and old food. Phlegm is the nasty yellow slim you cough out of your mouth and snot the same out of the nose. Damp and moist makes you think of misery and from when your hands are all pruned up. Slaughter makes you think of blood and gore. Mucus is just who knows what, that nasty yellow stuff. These are just a few of all of the nasty, ugly words that are in our language, but as you may have noticed they all represent things that are nast to us as humans.
