my favorite syllable

what is it about "ump" words that makes them so perfect for nastiness?

pump
hump
bump
jump
thump
plump
rump

i guess there's just something moistifying about that sound ...

You'd think it'd be the same way with words that end in 'uck'. You've got the obvious choices fuck and buck, but then, muck? luck? mukluk?? And then, the entire exercise comes to a screeching halt with truck. Ah well, good try, though. :-)

oh, poor davecat, how could you miss 'suck'? is shi-chan not taking proper care of you?

i'm also a fan of shucking clothes and having certain things stuck in certain places. but overall, you're right ... 'uck' is not half the syllable 'ump' is.

; )

ARDO ... way to do a number two on my sexy syllable, girl. are you trying to make an enema of me? haha!
