With regards to the environment I think "Sun/Solar storm" is the scariest so far. ;)

It doesn't have to be related to the environment (can be, but not necessary.)

Two of the scariest words for me?
"It's airborne." (as in virus)

Not original, but most us have heard "It's for your own good" and were then fearful of what was coming next.

"Don't try to move yet" said one doctor.

"This image shows something I don't like" said a different doctor many years later.

"We're downsizing and we have to let you go along with others." said the manager.

"So help me God," said I, completing the Oath of Enlistment long ago.

'Don't take this the wrong way' - for this read, 'You're bound to take this the wrong way'
'It's nothing to worry about' - oh yes it is!
'This happens all the time' - oh no it doesn't!
'I know exactly how you feel' - oh no you don't!
'Trust me' - in your dreams, pal!

Bitter, twisted, moi? You bet your bottom dollar!

Years ago over a beer I was discussing this very topic with a friend. We talked about the use of body parts as swear words namely the genitalia.My friend would say these words are ridiculous as insults as firstly we can't do with out them and secondly who does not like sex. So my friend came up with NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION. To this day whenever swear words come up, I hear this in my mind instead. :shok:

True.
But in my mind, being hit by a war head (or close to ground zero) is more favorable to me than
a slow death. Like from the radiation sickness that takes days or even weeks to slowly kill you.

That's why I think the words
"it's airborne"
are so frightening.
You know it's there, but you don't know when it will reach you.

Ok Shortpoet- let me try is it possibly a Global Pandemic like say Avian Influenza (bird flu).

Personally here is my short list
Breast Cancer- scared the hell out of me, luckily the biopsy was benign, so far dodged that bullet. Although to this day the word Cancer scares me.
“folks this is the Pilot we seem to be experiencing some landing gear issues.” Sorry too many words,

The scarest words for me would be dementia, fire, cancer, disease, and frightened.

There was a report about a scientist, who did an experiment with words. He tool a bowl of water, said negative words over the bowl of
water, then quick froze the bowl of water.Very ugly crystals were created by the negative words.
Then he took another bowl and did the same thing, but said all positive words. Happy, cheerful, smiling,  
lovely and other similar words. This time the crystals were beautiful. Moral,of experiment, be sure to use as many upbeat, positive words as you can, because you create positive energy.
