Words you hate.

[jenm2878]

More of a phrase then a word, but I hate when people say, "we're pregnant." Um, unless there's been a major advance in science that I am unaware of, SHE'S pregnant. "We're having a baby" doesn't bother me though.

With my wife, its the word "Broad" in referring to her or any other woman. I have seen her unglued when hearing it. With me its my teenaged son saying "Thats gay". I absolutely hate that.

TOTALLY agree on using the word Gay to mean dumb, lame, stupid, etc. That makes me want to explode

 

[antmaril]

cancer - I HATE that word

 

[phorsenuf]

I agree with quite a few here but one that really bugs me (which is an abbreviation) is BFF. I can see if you're a pre-teen, but when adults use it it just makes me nuts. It just seems so childish.

 

[jndb93]

Words that just give you the heebies - even if they're normal.

Me - Crotch.

LOL! It bugs me, and it's so ridiculous - but I hate it. And on What Not To Wear, for instance, they use it like no big deal. They'll say across the bust line....doesnt bother me. Across the crotch - grosses me out.

What words bug you?

Crotch doesn't bother me but "crouch" does. That's what my aunt calls the crotch. It doesn't matter how many times I correct her. It will always be "crouch" to her. Drives me absolutely nuts!

 

[dmslush]

Hoodia, that diet pill. It sounds like a dirty word to me. I cringe when I hear it.

 

[mantysk8coach]

I can't stand the word horny. Am I allowed to say that word on the DIS? I guess we'll see!

Also, a thing that has started bugging me recently, is the overuse of the word "amazing." Such as...I had an amazing massage yesterday; or that new CD is amazing, or I think your new baby's name is amazing (heard that one yesterday.) IT seems to be teenagers that are saying it. We had our ice show this weekend, so I was with pre-teens, and teenagers all weekend, and really started to notice it. It started to drive me nuts!

Some one else mentioned "a jean" or "a pant" instead of jeans or pants. I was at Gap the other day looking for jeans, and an employee came over to me and said "Can I help you find a pair of denims?" Are we calling jeans denims now? Did I miss that memo?

 

[agentpleakley]

OMG this thread is too funny
OK, the nastiest word in the english language is **** , and not crotch.

i can't even type it , it is so awful.

I also hate,
broad ( referring to a female)
****
whatever
and the A word referring to the gluteus maximus!

I totally agree with your list- that * word is so bad -- I can't say it.

I can't stand the word horny. Am I allowed to say that word on the DIS? I guess we'll see!

?

Add this one for me too.


I also hate when my 35 year old sister calls me "dude" and uses "like" after every other word. For example, "Dude, did mom like tell you like I was like going to like Disney World."

 

[krismom]

I hate how "freakin' / frickin' is an accepted word now in regular conversation.

 

[JCJRSmith]

Words I despise:

Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Obama, McCain, Pelosi, Rove, Kennedy, Lott, Rumsfeld, Gore, Kerry, Limbaugh.

 

[Trish Bessette]

Hate...can't stand it.

 

[NY Disney fan]

Words I despise:

The world's most corrupt law firm.

 

[nhrenee]

stupid. In our house, we don't use that word in any shape or form. The kids probably thought it was a swear word when they were younger.

 

[lukenick1]

I hate the [edited]

I also hate the word Lesbian and my mom used to refer to our girl private as a "prunie".....ooohhhh that word BUGS me!!!!!!

 

[DVCJEN]

I hate words that the tabloids use like, "baby bump"

and what on earth is "canoodling"??

'Canoodling" is how you get a "baby bump"

 

[Mean Queen]

The only word that really makes me cringe is the f-word, not the one most people think of, but the very bigoted term used for gay people. I was raised to believe that was the [edited] and was never to say it. Yet, my DH says it and it drives me up a wall. I tell him my mom will come back from the grave to get him for that. Kids at my DD's school say it and she can't understand how they get away with it. It's just such a hateful word. ****** is also another hateful word I can't stand.

DH hates when I call his underwear panties, not because he hates the word, but because guys don't wear panties.

 

[lovetomow]

Unemployment!

 

[FatElvis]

The word "belly" gives me the heebie-jeebies. It just sounds so ..... blech.

Also hate pee. Of course my husband says it all the time. I've finally got my two older girls convinced that boys pee, but girls potty.

 

[KristaTX]

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 .

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..
