And another thing

For the verb-impaired, in honour of this restaurant review

This round will be "~~Nouns~~ Words which - rightly - give one pause when found on menus or in food writing."

From the review:

oozing
sinister
specimens
plausible

Carry on!

(This thread is not necessarily recommended for your lunch break.)

Fungible, squamous, ruptured, lymph.

Edit: sorry, I missed the part about nouns, since the words from the review are mostly adjectives!

Lymph still.

Also, buboe, shrapnel, and Eucharist.

Well, I DO have a fever. :-) It is now "words" rather than "nouns".

Eschaton.

It goes so well with "immantentize" in your other thread.

I think that "badger" is a multipurpose word, that could go in both lists.

I like the line, " If this plane could talk, it would specialise in telling alarming stories in a gravelly, bourbon-and-cigars voice. It probably knows who killed JFK."

Glabrous.

Oh GOOD ONE.

Ichor
Eldritch
Slimy

Indeed! Though this time I got it from Stephen Maturin, who is always so helpful.

I don't know, I think I would rather enjoy a menu that found reason to use eldritch in a description. Dining with the Elder Gods is always lovely, in that madness-inspiring way.
