It's crazy, I expected to find words like terrorism and serial killer on this list. But your words are actually much scarier than those, probably because there's absolutely nothing we can do about them. It's the panic of inevitability. Reading this list gives be a sinking feeling of emptiness and horror in my gut. :-(
Let's hope you and I are never faced with the (nearly always) futile struggle against the words on this list.

I second that. There are very few feelings worse than a sense of powerlessness. Keeping all digits crossed here.

Good suggestions, oroboros. Serious mental incapacities terrify me.

I don't know about the suggested additions. They are scary things, it's true, but I was thinking more about words that, when someone says them to you, and they're about either you or a deeply loved one... what else is there to say? Or do?
I honestly hope there's no other words for me to add to this list--no other words that produce, as uselessness put it, "a sinking feeling of emptiness and horror" (which was quite descriptive, U, thanks).
I'm gonna go read someone's Happy Shiny list now.

Have you seen "A Mighty Wind"? I love the penis clamp song.

That's where I got the term, c_b.
"Don't leave them cold and damp.
Use our buttock straps and penis clamps.
Shur-Flo, Shur-Flo."

Oh, man. I wandered over here after looking up sarcoma on the meaty list. Now I feel like Atreyu's horse Artax.
