Disgust

[sufi]

I've just written a letter of complaint (submitted an online form) about something DISGUSTING!
it's a good feeling

we love a bit of naughty behaviour, something gruesome or pervy to disapprove, or maybe just me?

Disgust ... discuss!

i keep seeing things online recently about how the more prone to disgust you are the more right wing you are. ties in with disgusted of tonbridge wells i guess.

yeah i think that's the one. disgust is like a basic level of stimulation, prodding

as i'm sure you all know "-gust" is from the latin for "taste", so to be disgusted is perhaps allied or opposed to notions of tastefulness, good taste. neither are good of course

Too funny, been there.

Peanut butter is disgusting. The smoother it gets the worse it feels in your mouth. Crunchy is much better. That’s why that peanut butter and jelly monstrosity is so much worse. Like pate yet for spew reflex plus the sweetness is overwhelming

disgusting should be used either very sparingly, so as to not diminish its true level of feeling, or as a knee-jerk reaction to everything that you even mildly dislike. the murky middle is where it causes problems, really. it's disgusting when that happens.

My brother did History at Uni and I remember reading his Norbert Elias book The Civilising Process. All I took from it was the reason we don't fart in public is because other people have told us it's disgusting.

how about how we are attracted to disgustingness? including farts (teehee), and how that reflects back on ourselves

There are times when we embrace the disgust. Like the 70s , all those kipper ties and purple paisley shirts. Everyone was disgusted by them but it holds a powerful allure and we couldn't look away.

Powerful people often flaunt their ugliness. The self satisfaction of smelling their own farts. Trump was big on this

Mr Tea if you pun on this I will never forgive you

Farts are funny

we enjoy that little visceral twitch of disapproval, distancing ourselves
and it makes us feel clean but also a bit dirty

When Celia farts, my hasty nose
Sniffs up the fragrance from her parts
Shamed are the violets and rose
when Celia farts.
