Spirochete sounds lovely too, though it certainly isn't...

Something about syphilis always sounded nice, apart from the actual meaning. Then someone mentioned it sounds like a Harry Potter spell and ruined it for me.

"Grandgore" just sounds so proud to be syphilis. :D

Yes, but the same syllable isn't accented. Maybe that makes a difference?

Oh, well, then don't add it.

I wonder about the name Phyllis, actually. It sure does sound like syphilis, but some people find it pretty, I guess.

I dunno; I never thought this word was all that pretty, for some reason. Hmm.

I like how the English called it "the French pox," but the French called it "the English pox."

Though it's not really funny.

p.s. Reesetee, a candidate for your "Worse Than They Sound" list, perhaps?
