Words that do not belong together in the English language, yet nevertheless I am looking at them being used so:

"Cordless Pulsating Nasal Wash"

It's not Engrish, either. It's a perfectly grammatical construction that describes exactly what a product does, and we are not talking about some obscure find-it-only-in-the-holistic-health-store thing either. It's advertised on the side of the nasal/sinus rinse thing my doctor has me use during cold and allergy season. I think they sell the device at Duane Reade, too.

It's called the Sinugator.

I'm pretty sure that's some kind of horrible supervillain invention from Mystery Men or something.


ETA to remove the typo of 'navel' and replace it with 'nasal' as it says on the package. my bad.

If it's for cleaning out the sinuses and it's called a navel wash, their anatomy isn't very good either.

Argh, that's a typo on my part. I'm fixing it now.

I read what you first posted and was confused as it seemed like a specific way to wash an orange. This makes more sense while still sounding wrong.

I was trying to figure out the link between cleaning out belly buttons and the sinuses.

Maybe it is an ancient secret to good health! (Or something espoused as such on infomercials. \o/)

I still twitch about pulsating in my nasal passages, though. Weird.

Seriously. It's "pulsating" that makes me go "..." in response.
