Found out I had been pronouncing "flaccid" wrong, but the correct pronunciation sounds really turgid to me.

Stepping on a strawberry feels super gross, but it still smells like strawberries.

That does seem pretty rare! Most things feel good, smell bad

I thought it was flaccid like acid instead of flack-sid, which still sounds like counterfeit viagra to me.

100% in the rhymes with acid camp....

I've never heard it spoken like that, and my doctor has never corrected me. Wait, I've said too much.
It made me think of the word 'hacceity', which *is* pronounced like that. So I suppose there is precedent (pronounced prekedent).
