pus

And there's pus in the weir; where once a white cumulus froth
of cauliflowers boiled, there's a fetid and curdling slack
of turpentine slick clotting up with each new pollutant
in a piled scum of rainbow blown corrugated and poxed,

while the same goes on in our own intestinal tracts.

- Peter Reading, Removals, from For the Municipality's Elderly, 1974

That's all right. Wordie *shouldn't* give 'credit' for listing words on different lists. It's just for personal organization purposes, since there's no other reason for relisting words. I just... seem to have a lot of lists that words like 'pus' should, you know, be on... I guess... *starts to wonder*

John doesn't give you credit for a second listing if you put a word on more than one of your lists.

Yes, yes it were.

I don't think I have words on more than three lists, myself. (Could be wrong.) But I don't often see instances in which other users add a word to more than one of their lists.

soo... was that u being snide?! ;)

Say! There's a good question! How do we find out?

Hmm, I wonder what the record is for most lists by the same person a single word appears in...?

Hey, don't forget Creative Onomatopoeia! ;)

In my defense, can you think of three *other* letters that elicit that kind of strong reaction from so many people?

Sup backwards. Useful knowledge for those whose dietary intake is restricted to (body) fluids only.

I was glancing though the list at right:

Disgusting words
Least favorites
Words I absolutely can NOT stand
Unpleasant words for unpleasant things
Words I don't like very much

...and then...

I have to say, here I like WeirdNet's suggestion better than the meaning I had in mind.
