Words you hate.

[agentpleakley]

Every and all words that come out of that Joker sized mouth of Rachel Ray..

Honestly, a grown woman that talks like a 5 year old..

Well, now that you brought her up -- she is a cacophony of words I hate. EVOO, Yummo -- etc etc

Love the comparison -- JOKER SIZED MOUTH

Count me as another person who does not like the word "panties." Saying it out loud makes me feel awkward. I can say undies, skivvies, undergarments, bikinis, thongs, briefs or boy shorts but not panties.

This thread is too funny! I agree with most like puke, pus, phlegm, fart -ugh feel queazy just typing them! Oh and alzheimers-not so much the word but the fact that many people say alltimers instead of the correct pronunciation! It drives me crazy when I hear that! The funniest one here though is buttplug. Umm, don't think I have heard that mentioned in conversation ever! Too, too funny!

 

[cteddiesgirl]

Today, I ran across a word that I think just doesn't sound right to me.

Cornhole

Otherwise ****. Especially when it's used frequently in songs, movies, the people I'm trying to talk to...


But, most words don't really bother me. It's usually just how they're spelled, said or how they're used.

 

[Jockaroo]

I have a few.

"Shut up": even if this is a slang term now it is just rude.

"Bling": I despise this one.

The N word: Sorry this is just totally unacceptable.

"Decubitus": My family was medical. Growing up this was often a topic of conversation at the supper table. It would make me want to....

"Vomit": Nasty word.

The panties thing is funny. Hubby gets upset if I refer to his underwear as panties. Apparently only girls wear panties. (Although from some of the comments here, maybe not.)

I don't like the usual ones (******, ****, etc.). Don't have a problem with panties - the little girl of a friend used to call them pennies all the time - it was cute.

Words that bug me right now are:
Nutritious - I have a friend on this nutrition kick and she is always saying that this or that is nutritious or not nutritious (I just want to say, I don't care if it is nutritious or not just eat it and not talk about it). "I am going to have my nutritious lunch", "This salad is so nutritious", "I can't believe someone brought in doughnuts for the breakroom, don't they know those aren't nutritious", and on and on and on.

"and such" or "and such as that" - I think it sounds kinda snooty - especially the second one. Don't know why i feel that way but i do.

 

[okeydokey]

Fart. I really dislike bathroom humor.

I thought of another one: yolk.

And now I don't like the word "lawyer" since I learned on the DIS a few months ago that most people pronounce it "loi-er". I say "law-yer", which is how it looks like it should be pronounced. Law + yer. Since the majority in the DIS poll said "loi-er" (which surprised me bigtime), now I feel like I'm saying it wrong. But I think "loi-er" sounds stupid and doesn't sound like the word looks .

It wasn't that long ago that I heard about that and I'm embarrassed to say I'm one of them who says "loi-er". You're right, it's wrong, and I will try to correct myself if I think about it but after a lifetime of saying it wrong it's hard to change!

Another one I noticed people say wrong (myself included) is "realtor". I think most people say "real-a-tor", and that sounds natural to me since I've always said it that way too, but if you look at the word it is "real-tor". Sounds weird to me to say it the right way, but I'm trying to force myself to!

I hate the words 'cheese curds'.

I have relatives that live in Wisconsin and they talk about eating these things! How can you eat something that sounds like a disease? I get nausious just at the mention of them.
And no, I've never tried them.

 

[Mickeefan]

My top five are
prolly,

Is this supposed to be probably? If so, I don't mind the word, but it really bugs me when people spell it this way.

 

[Cantw8]

preggers

the keg is kicked

 

[WildernessBride]

My friend has an incredibly adverse reaction to "CHUNKS," it drives her crazy!!!!

 

[NYBlue1]

Crotch and foliculitous.....cringing just typing them...I need to go take a shower

 

[FoundMyPrince]

hate

It's not allowed to be said in our home.

 

[OK!]

The word mucus makes me gag.

Ugh, me too. The Mucinex commercials use it constantly (for obvious reasons) and I have to either hit mute or change the channel.

I also can't stand the word "panties." I don't know why, but I hate it.

 

[paintnolish]

I hate when people say "brain fart." I also hate when people refer to "gas" as an air biscuit. I haven't heard that phrase in a long time, though. Thank God.

 

[OK!]

Ugh, was reading some more and was reminded of all of the internet/message board cutesy-speak that I cannot stand, e.g. prolly, peeps, siggie, ressie, piccie (which also drives me nuts because, phonetically, it wouldn't be pronounced the way most people who use it seem to think it would), and any kind of text-message abbreviation like "u", "pepl," etc. In text messages themselves, I can understand it because it's a pain to type on a phone, but I see it used on forums, etc., all the time. Is an extra keystroke or two REALLY all that much to ask? Sheesh.

 

[krcit]

This thread is cracking me up!!


My words are panties(ughh), just sounds dirty to me for some reason, lol. Blouse-just annoys me. Slacks-same thing. Moist and discharge I also would be happy to NEVER again hear the word 'surreal'-so overused!

 

[dogluva]

I hate the words:

purse (say pocketbook)
sofa (say couch)
slacks (say pants)
potty (say toilet)
Palor (say living room)
blouse (don't wear one or call it a shirt)

and I hate, hate, hate, bowel movement (say nothing, you don't need to discuss it)

 

[Momof2princess]

I hate when people say "veggies" or "preggers"
Those words make my skin crawl!!!!
