Hello :)
I'm here to write about my feelings about words.
I have read a lot about synesthesia but I am pretty certain I don't have it, however I do have some very strong feelings about words in the English language. Some words I love, I love how they feel in my brain, I love how they feel in my mouth, I think they look nice written down. Some words I really dislike, they feel hard or bad or otherwise not nice in my brain or mouth. Some examples:
Custard - hate it. Sounds wet and sloppy and like big drooping dollops. Hate it.
Thatch - feels nice. Feels sort of triangular and sharp-edged in my mouth.
Teacher - for me this makes me feel like rubbing a bristly brush under my chin. Very specific feeling. I'm not sure if I like it or not.
Katie - feels like cold, set custard being wobbled in a bowl. Makes me feel icky.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this thought because maybe other people have similar feelings or maybe I'm just mad - hahaha - who knows! (*note I actually think custard is delicious I just have issues with it for some reason!)

Much like custard, in fact!
I don't know why custard is called custard (although I won't be able to resist finding out now) but it definitely sounds like it is...
Having just googled it, it's funny how it comes from the same kinda root as crust, and that word sounds crusty. Our ancestors got some things right
Yes, that sounds better...
Very popular in Manchester...and Portugal!
"Custards baked in pastry (custard tarts) were very popular in the Middle Ages, and are the origin of the English word 'custard': the French term croustade originally referred to the crust of a tart"
That sounds kinda okay? I think all the supermarkets still do those. When I'm less terrified of desserts, I will check it out.
Custard with a crust.. Crusty custard?
This does not sound good...
No idea what you're on about mate! ???
Oh heck.Autumn, stop it.We will be having a Biology class anytime now !
Crust is another problematic word for me. Makes me shudder!
