Post a word you hate


Mara

Recommended Posts

Any word, any reason. Just a word you don't like.

 

Here are two I can't stand. One is because of the way it sounds:

stub

 

And the other is just because I think it's a stupid made-up word:

blogosphere

Dude

 

If you say this in the UK, you will be laughed at for talking hippy nonsense as i believe most people over here stopped using it about 1970 or so....

That word is practically punctuation in Scotland laugh.gif

One of the funniest things I've read involving the use of that word:

 

"If you say the word ***t to a woman, you have approximately 2 seconds to follow it up with "-inued". Either that or produce your passport identifying you as British."

 

I use it for shock value, sometimes - people have a hard time believing a woman will use it. Also, some people really are.

 

I hate its counterpart, though - the one that starts with P. You'd better be talking about a cat.

Va-jajay.

 

I know it's not a real word, but if I hear another person use that word, I'm going to scream. Just use the REAL term. It's not bad to use the word vagina.

intercourse. whats wrong with saying sex?


And I have to say, I love the word vajajay laugh.gif and bajingo. I can say vagina but those are so funny! sorry baxy tongue.gif

There is nothing sexy or seductive about the word "vagina". It's actually a Latin word (pronounced "Wa GEEN Nah") meaning sheath or scabbard, as for a sword.

 

I just call it a hoo-hah. Or a vadge. But I'm old and married. wink.gif

I also hate the word "moist". I just don't like how it sounds.

text, but only as a verb, e.g.:

 

"I texted her 15 times this morning." = new_thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

 

This is ok:

 

"The text in the manual was hard to understand." = new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

 

Yeah, I'm old. laugh.gif

words that make my skin crawl:

 

NURTURE or NURTURING 062802puke_prv.gif

 

BLOSSOM (not so much in terms of flowers, but when it's used to talk about someone coming into their own and "blossoming" 062802puke_prv.gif)

 

TENDER (it's fine when it's used to describe meat, but when it's used to describe someone feeling really vulnerable and tender: 062802puke_prv.gif )

 

I had a good friend years ago who was a woman who would use these words. She would actually say things like, "I'm feeling really tender right now and need to nurture myself. I feel like I'm really starting to blossom." Ok, not usually all at one time, but you get the point. I wouldn't say a word, just throw up in my mouth a little each time. 062802puke_prv.gif 062802puke_prv.gif 062802puke_prv.gif

 

 

The sad thing is that I'll use all of those words in the context I can't stand them in every once in awhile. Sometimes when I want to describe something, I just can't think of a more effective and descriptive word to use, even though inwardly I cringe while saying them. Usually I can circumvent them in some way.

I hate all of those words too, in the same way you describe!

 

One of the most puke-inducing phrases ever: ". . .nurture my inner child." Well, people who know me think my inner child needs a smack upside the head. . .
