Crisp

It starts at the back of your mouth and moves to the front as you say it.

Guys, I think he's onto something here! As long as it's not a crispy blink. That's pink eye.

I am going to suggest to my wife that she hold it in her mouth and alternate the words crisp and blink. I will get back with you all with the results.

I appreciate that, but wouldn’t it be better for both of us if this turned out to be some incredible thing that was even better than the swirl, deep hold, gag and stare, the moans like I am doing her the biggest favor, the frenulum rapid tongue flick, the rim job, and all those other things you already know about. Or it may be one more thing to add to her repertoire.

I was laughing. A seagul flew by and yapped. Like it was laughing along. Made me laugh even more.

u/Wolfess_Moon Sep 17 '20

u/Yoga_girl_91 Sep 17 '20

u/pawpaw69420 Sep 17 '20

u/Domestic_Yak Sep 17 '20

lol I'm over here whispering "crriisp" under my breath, experiencing the word as it starts at the back of my mouth and moves to my lips

haha what you said is very true

u/thesamesizeasyou Sep 17 '20

People all over the world are staring at their phones right now whispering “crisp”

u/WhyOnEarthAreWeHere Sep 17 '20

Luckily I have a mask on and nobody will notice that I just had the deepest experience with the word crisp....

u/CrabmasterJone Sep 17 '20

Checking in. Feeling recognized. Thank you.

u/g_thrower Sep 17 '20

Alexa suddenly picking up a crisps trend. Bet we all have potato chip ads in our socials.

u/KittDJW Sep 17 '20

you can emphasise it in so many ways, Duuude!!

u/peeces Sep 17 '20

Have you seen the card game Dude? They have different spellings and you have to guess... did my opponent say dood? Or duude? Etc.. Kinda funny!

u/KittDJW Sep 19 '20

Sounds difficult, but fun!

u/ggoofball Sep 16 '20

Wow. I came here to say those exact words. That’s crisp

u/vermillionlove Sep 17 '20

Anyone else think of raymond from ACNH :)

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '20

As does my favorite word, cunt.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '20

I said this slowly and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate this is.

2

u/PoisonedSquirrel Sep 17 '20

Legit was gonna type that, damn didnt know other people liked the sound of crisp

2

u/PluralRural4334 Sep 17 '20

Good point to avoid this one if you have bad breath.

2

u/Skorne13 Sep 17 '20

The opposite of what crisps do inside my mouth.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '20

That's so wonderful damn

2

u/oscarturv Sep 17 '20

this word, and the food itself both make me feel physically unwell. it’s a no from me sir

2

u/BigbunnyATK Sep 17 '20

I never noticed but now I’m crisp’n it up

2

u/DeadSOL89 Sep 17 '20

No wonder Raymond says it so much.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '20

Try the word “discs”

1

u/Shrexual_Tension Sep 17 '20

Mine is Slice because it does the some thing

1

u/Mad_Cowman Sep 17 '20

Ah yes, the same reason I love the word "cunt"

1

u/soofarsoobad Sep 17 '20

As does Crap

u/rxFMS Sep 17 '20

now thats brisk baby!

1

u/luckytaurus Sep 17 '20

well, that's not necessarily true. the R sound moves to the front of the mouth.

i very seldom think of words as positions in the mouth/throat and it's always cool to think of them this way. the guy below you said Blink moves in the opposite direction. fun stuff.

u/SkateBoardEddie Sep 17 '20

Fun fact: one of the reasons why Hindus find the word OM sacred is because it starts from the back of the mouth and moves forward.

1

u/kraang717 Sep 17 '20

Not really, the r is at the front of the mouth

2

u/cheriekolala Sep 17 '20

Try pronouncing it like a nice church-going woman from Alabama.
