What words scare you ? For about the past 4 years the word Orthodox has been particularly scary for me.

Words don't scare me; in fact, etymology and semantics are two of my hobbies.

People are scary sometimes, though.

'Honey' followed by 'im', followed by 'pregnant'

Seperate they are fine, but together, scary

Listen up people, I'll say this only once:

No politics!

This includes names of presidents, presidential candidates etc!

Sorry Ívar...

World recession/depression
Finance Crisis
Hyperinflation
Cancer
Death
Fundamentalism

...to name a few. I'm worried about how the world will handle the finance issues at the moment. It's scary how Iceland in practice went bankrupt virtually over a night. Hope you manage with the situation there, Ívar.

Should have gotten up earlier.

Edit: potentially worse- 'Dad/mom, I'm pregnant..'

i don' get scared by the actual words, it's just the overuse of some such as '(war on) terror'.

Thanks, we are doing alright I guess.

A lot of people have lost a lot of money. What is really hurting us real bad right now is the awful state of our currency.

But enough of that

The only word that has an effect on me is cancer...

My mum got it in 2000 (fought through it and is now back to full health) so ever since then any mention of that word scares the hell outta me..

I love ethimologies too. Let me share one of my favourites. Cochilo/Cochilar means nap/take a nap in portuguese. During a german class that i realized the root of the word, when i learned sleep in german is "schlafen", and I was like "This word sounds too familiar...shlafen...coshlafen...cochilar!"

So i guess the word was bought to the iberian peninsula by the germanic tribes that imigrated to that place, mainly visigoth and suebs. But since we already had "dormir" from latin, the germanic word took a slightly different meaning, that means "short, light sleep".
