Yeah, I sometimes get that. My usual approach is simply to keep trying to say the word until I get it, but sometimes it's easier once it's been said by another. Not always, though. --- Your headline made me want to say something else, though: I don't think it's prudent to speak of these things in terms of "*trigger* words". If you place yourself in a position of fear for certain words, I think you're doing yourself a disservice. I also don't think stutter actually works exactly that way. I think, rather, that we have to speak as if we didn't stutter, and remember our techniques and/or not spend too much time worrying about what comes out. A stutter is just a stutter. If we attach fear to the process, we're adding stress to what is already stressful (when it takes place). Ideally, every stutter incident should be approached as its own unique thing. That might sound weird and undoable, of course. But I'm trying to get us away from the notion that stutter comes about in predetermined fashion. It doesn't. It's likelihood, not certainty.
