Realizing a dictionary was necessary to alert the public, they created The Dictionary of Uncomfortable Words. Each word is followed by a brief explanation of why it makes people uneasy when spoken, such as:

- Abhor: Looks innocuous enough on paper but utterly filthy when spoken aloud.

- Bull: In most circles, this word is merely a prefix. We prefer the term man-cow."

- Congeal: Just because gooey becomes crusty doesn't mean we want to hear about it.

- Crotch: This word is disturbing even when referring to trees.

- Dingleberry: This is one fruit you don't want to eat.

- Half-cocked: Sounds like a circumcision that went too far.

- Horehound: A drunk with too much money in his pocket on Saturday night."
