> mouthfeel

This word is so gross I find any foods described using it as immediately and viscerally less palatable.

I love kombucha, but my sense memory did a gross little convolution for a second.

The concept of this word is important and otherwise hard to convey, but it's such a weird word.



You can just call it "texture," but it's a fun term d'art.

As with "automatic memory collection" for those grossed out by "garbage collection."


On the subject of words, I was really expecting "convulsion" rather than "convolution" there.
