words that you can't stand

[Dalekbuster523]

Puppet. We should suit for plagiarism.

Love, Miss Piggy

But...

*Brian Conley voice.*

"IT'S A PUPPET!"

Operation. Not a fan of this one either. I don’t even like it being used in the workplace to describe what we’re doing because all it makes me think of is an operation you’d have in the hospital.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

"Queer." Why would anyone -- let alone the entire current movement -- embrace a word that's alternative meaning is: abnormal...?

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

Newest one:

"Lawfare."

 

[CeeCee72]

Fiduciary.

 

[DallasFanForever]

Soliloquy

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

Soliloquy

Hmmmm... why is that?

 

[DallasFanForever]

Hmmmm... why is that?

Only for one reason and that’s because I can’t ever say it without totally messing it up. It’s a little frustrating.

 

[Crimson]

"Outraged"

Nothing wrong with the word itself, but it's so grotesquely overused.

"Kids served bologna for lunch. Parents outraged!"

 

[DallasFanForever]

“Like”

Not really the word itself but more so when it gets used 35 times in a sentence and put in front of every other word. A certain reality show family comes to mind as being “like” pretty famous for doing this.

 

[Michelle Stevens]

"Gutterspine"

 

[Willie Oleson]

Soliloquy

Looks a bit like "solo guy" (not that I type it very often)

I literally can't say the word "cremation", it sounds so clinical and unceremonious. I just call everything a "burial" regardless of how it happens.

 

[DallasFanForever]

Studebaker

I guess no one is really driving these nowadays but I just can’t picture saying “Hey, check out my new Studebaker.”

Doesn’t quite have the same impact as saying Corvette does for me.

 

[CeeCee72]

Misspoke.

Puh-leeze.

You did NOT. You just didn't like the reaction to what came out of your mouth.

 

[DallasFanForever]

I literally can't say the word "cremation", it sounds so clinical and unceremonious. I just call everything a "burial" regardless of how it happens.

Totally agree with this. It just sounds so cold and final. I wish there was another word for it.

 

[CeeCee72]

Precipitous.

Whenever I hear it, it makes me think of another word I don't like.

Pretentious.

 

[DallasFanForever]

Sulfur

The sound of it or the smell. Not a fan of either one.

 

[CeeCee72]

Gerrymander.

Hate how it sounds, hate what it means.

 

[CeeCee72]

Scrotum.

Just sounds nasty
