Ickiest words in English?

Unedifying silliness for a Sunday afternoon. Flicking through a Lakeland catalogue just now, I came across 'heavy-duty gusseted bags' and nearly choked on my coffee. What is it about the word 'gusset'? Am I Alone in reverting to sniggering adolescence at icky words - if not, what are your favourites?

To start you off, I give you 'moist gusset'. Top that.

I definitely agree with moist. ... especially when applied to a cake; 'moist sponge' = eeewwww!

Agreed with moist, what a horrible word!!

My brother hates it when people say criss cross.

I hate it when people guffed, instead of farted. Grrr!!

Gubbins, people seem to use it for 'thingamajig' and it really annoys me.

I hate the word 'frock' with a passion and 'dribble' is ewww!
