The Succulent Man

[Image description: a moodboard made up of nine pictures of Preminger from the Barbie movie “The Princess and the Pauper”. They are, from left to right and top to bottom:

A picture of Preminger leering over Anneliese’s shoulder as she sits in her throne.

A picture of him throwing his hands back and gasping.

A picture of his dog grimacing.

A clip art speech bubble that says “I’m gay!” against a rainbow background. The speech bubble itself is against a hot pink background.

A screenshot of Preminger looking over his shoulder and smiling as he sneaks through the dark.

A clip art of piles of gold surrounding a crowd.

A picture of Preminger gasping and putting a hand up to his forehead.

A picture of Preminger looking through the glass at the crown.

A picture of Preminger smiling evilly. End image description.]

Which got me wondering, can I elicit the same emotions with words that have no meaning? And the answer is “Yes, yes you definitely can.”

So here it is: words and phrases that elicit “thanks, i hate it!” by sheer negative sonority

scrungo

mingus

hurgling

tungus

Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus

slurm

But did you know you can make it even worse by combining them??

bucket of curdling chunks

the pustulous gunch muncher

your squirming tungus

this crungy beesechurger

a squirting chungus

And my all time favorite
