Time for the dictionary

Certain words are associated with vulgarity or immorality exclusively through visual or aural identification with other words, independent of semantics. For example:

+ Annals

+ Sextuplet

+ Sinologist

    Also, my phase is semi-over. More like bottled up inside for consuming at a later date.
