Just left a question for standstillandknow, and the word-to-prove-you're-not-a-robot to fill in was "euggism" - such a charming, curious little word! Kinda round and cuddly in form (ok, so this font does help on that score!). What interesting images come to mind - I propose it be added to Webster's, but first we have to come up with the definition(s).
(sidenote) I actually have a Webster's, circa Nov. 1, 1957 (on the first page, in my Dad's hand), 5 inches thick, another precious relic from my childhood home.
The first thing that came to my [warped] mind goes something like this (ok - the actual wording wasn't instantaneous, just the gist):
EU-ggism, n. 1. the characteristic reaction to something judged to be totally disgusting 2. one of a collection of facial expressions and/or vocalizations stemming from the observation of something repulsive
So, anyone?
