That's where I got the term, c_b.
"Don't leave them cold and damp.
Use our buttock straps and penis clamps.
Shur-Flo, Shur-Flo."
Have you seen "A Mighty Wind"? I love the penis clamp song.
Nothing weirds me like "penis clamp."
I don't know about the suggested additions. They are scary things, it's true, but I was thinking more about words that, when someone says them to you, and they're about either you or a deeply loved one... what else is there to say? Or do?
I honestly hope there's no other words for me to add to this list--no other words that produce, as uselessness put it, "a sinking feeling of emptiness and horror" (which was quite descriptive, U, thanks).
I'm gonna go read someone's Happy Shiny list now.
Good suggestions, oroboros. Serious mental incapacities terrify me.
You can't have a list like this without catheter.
psychopathy; catatonia ?
I second that. There are very few feelings worse than a sense of powerlessness. Keeping all digits crossed here.
It's crazy, I expected to find words like terrorism and serial killer on this list. But your words are actually much scarier than those, probably because there's absolutely nothing we can do about them. It's the panic of inevitability. Reading this list gives be a sinking feeling of emptiness and horror in my gut. :-(
Let's hope you and I are never faced with the (nearly always) futile struggle against the words on this list.
