* moist
* pus
* slacks
* nougat
* persnickety
* tiddlywinks
* slut
* lug nut (okay technically two words)
* pew
* hootenanny
* mucus
* bimbo
* morsel
* succulent
* fastidious
* ogre
* obese
* shanty
* sluggish
* chunky (or chunks)
* lederhosen
* sauerkraut
* snort
* ooze
* grope
* bequeath
* maladroit
* bust
* stupor
* plump
* mutilate
