There's something about the sound and spelling that makes my skin crawl. To add insult to injury, I work in a bakery so I have to hear it all the time now. -_-
Poor you. :/ I guess it's a word that does come up really often when people talk about dough. The normal alternatives like "damp" or "soggy" don't really sound appetising. Hmm, you could always get people to say "irriguous" although that's generally means wetter than the M word.

Out of pure curiosity, what bothers you most? The etymology of the word, the sound of it, the spelling of it, the sexual aspect, or something else?
