scrofulous is a great insult and a word that you don't hear often enough these days
which great words are underused and should we fight to bring back into the everyday man's speech?

alt: which word/s do you love, and which word/s make you cringe?

altalt: fine, go on then. LUNCH?

I can't stand it when people say 'Bounder' or 'Cad', it doesn't make me think of victorians in suits trading jests.
It makes me think of uppity student pricks. Same for people who geniunly think someone's height is an insult [as in, in jest or for seriousness], being short/tall/whatever really means nothing.

What is it about discharge? Most of the time people don't like the imagery the word's meaning evokes. Something like discharge would presumably be about the words associated with it. Nothing pleasant about that word preceded by "vaginal" or "weeping". Or "explosive", come to that.
