why?
so why "angry"? (not that i like the word that shall not be spoken herein again myself...). it just sounds lame to me (that word of which we may speak in a roundabout manner)

why "gonch" or "gonchies" sucks.
The sound of the word "gonch" evokes things like gunk and gook; stuff that's definitely "ew". It almost rhymes with "gonfle"- French verb meaning " meaning blown up (as in a balloon). I'm not a big fan of sound "nch" as a sound. It's kind of puffy and awkward and a little bit ridiculous - hmmm, is the intended audience (mothers of sons?) in which case it would seem natural to select a slightly ridiculous term. Anyone else should absolutely never ever use it!

do paunches suck too?
hmm... fair enough... but i always thought "Nch" was the basis of techno (the N being the kick, the ch being the hats):
Nch, Nch, Nch, Nch Nch, Nch, Nch, N Nch, N, Nch, N, Nch, Nch, Nch, N [repeat pattern for 15 minutes with a smattering of reverberated squelchy 303] oh, I made that comics disc for you, so we'll have to hook up again so I can give it to you. Do you tend to avoid lunch too? [i think that the o being directly in front of the nch in g***ch is what makes it sound lame... "onch" wtf??? bleh!] |

paunch
Hmm, ("paw" +"nch") is not too appealing but not nearly as bad as "gon" "chie" . Potbellies can be very cute things, as well as awful. Paunch makes me think of a beat up old purse that's half filled in some parts and not others; strapped around an old geezer - it has descriptive power (for me) so it can't be that bad. I'll keep it. I almost said "nay" but then I realized how bad it would be if we got rid of every word that sounded a bit negative.
