Ok, I am weird. Words are so fascinating to me. What cracks me up is the way people misuse language - making up their own words, mispronouncing words, and being generally redundant or peculiar. Then, there's my quirk of having certain words cause me to shudder. Whatever it is, I just don't like the sound of some. So here are some interesting ones for your reading pleasure.

Sounds fishy to me

Liz Carey came up with a good one the other day. She was sitting at a restauarnt with some friends and noticed one of the entrees was Baked Scrod. Ok, I know it is just a fish, but seriously, how appetizing is the word SCROD? Tie that in with "steaming" and "pile" and you have one sick descriptive: a streaming pile of scrod. Ugh!
