AVOID, WORST, and STUFF - a coincidence?

While I admit this is a bit silly, I was amazed when I realized how many words are so closely aligned with the word STUFF.

Consider that STUFF has five letters, as does these words:

ABHOR
LOUSY
GRUMP
AGONY
JUNKY
IDIOT
STINK
WORST
AWFUL
FUNGI
MESSY
GROSS
INANE
HEAVY
LOWLY
YUCKY
BLAND
GRIME
LEAST
PUKES
SPITS
DUMMY
FATSO
INEPT
GRODY
FLAWS
AVOID

While you can point to a few positive five letter words, the sheer magnitude of negativity associated with five letter words like STUFF is overwhelming. So much so that I wanted to know just how common this really was. So I turned to a true expert on odds, Gino Rosetti, a Las Vegas bookmaker.

He ran a regression analysis using the same software he uses to calculate gambling odds and found out some very strange things.

While the chart might be hard to read, what he basically concludes is that the odds of the word STUFF being associated with so many other negative five letter words is 1 in 1.374 x 10 to the power of 17.

Those are about the same odds of finding a needle in a haystack that stretches from Ohio to California.

So maybe there's something to this.

Cookies are great.

But STUFF and AVOID are two five letter words that clearly go together.
