I heard that there are certain words that catch people's attention. Does anyone know where I could find a complete list of them?

Being a police officer, I would have to say the words "Gun, Bomb, and Fire" are on the top of the list for me!

I don't know where a list of attention catching words can be found. But you might try the drivers license handbook provided by your local DPS. If you think about it, almost every word you see on any street sign was intended to catch your attention.lol.

George Carlin has a list that is very effective. He calls it seven words you can not say on television. Check it out with the link below.

If you are building a resume, you can google "resume builders" or there are great books with volumes of action oriented descriptives that will help stocked shelves...sound more like responsible for inventory control, resource management and implementing sanitation standards (cleanup aisle I) LOL. If its just curiosity my favorites would be...
God
Love
Fire
and of course DUCK!

If you're referring to spoken words, just about any that are whispered or softly spoken will catch people's attention.

I usually say "Heeeeeyyyy" in a flirty and cute voice and that gets boys' attention. But sum1 in particular, you just whistle or say "HEY!" or sumthin loud and obnoxious. I would say excuse me too.
