I always think that the words, succumb and titular sound dirty.

Please share yours..

Roughage.

Sounds like something that happens in a stable in a Jilly cooper novel.

Crepuscular - resembling or relating to twilight.

As a previous poster said, bucolic sounds like some septic gut disorder, not pleasant countryside and pulchritude means beauty.

DH was 'helping' me in the garden earlier (read, trampling on my plants and digging up the wrong things)... I said, "hands off my aquilegias!" which left us both giggling as it sounded somewhat risqué (and of course, he had no idea what aquilegias are!).

Crevice tool! Grin

Have been mad busy so only had chance to come back to the thread now.

I'm loving all these! Especially masticate, spurt, and fiscal tightening (sounds painful)

I once overheard my mum say "you're so anal about blank" I looked at her like this ShockConfusedHmmEnvy not envy

I just cant not think of a back passage when someone says anal.

moofolk · 07/04/2019 23:57

Round our way the back alleys are numbered with street signs on. I smirk a little every time I see a sign stating

'No 2 passage'.

Many of the PP suggestions are excellent.

Also:

Smirk.
