That anonymous thread where y'all started talkin' aboot words that sound funny-like got me a-thinkin aboot a question a friend asked me once.
Why are there so many words that sound really seedy and sex-related, but are just not.
For example, "erect" which holds so many connotations that it shouldn't.
And "moist".
And phlebotomy sounds a bit suss too...
any others?
ooh titulate! (sp?)
