I am feeling nauseous and I dind't even think that it might have been due to what I was reading. Nice info, thanks.

I only realised when I was told about it that, while for me it doesn't have that nausea trigger, it does have a bit more alert associated with it — which is probably why I made my comment at all. I am not emetophobic (might have risen to that level as a child).

But having an awareness of that alert feeling is a very useful mental model for how some other words or phrases may cause a heightened response with different parts of an audience; it is a useful caution.
