Words You Hate

[blackout]

Also, words that start with the letter V. I CAN use them, but for some unknown, subconscious reason, everytime I do, they always come out in a whisper! I swear to the Gods, and not just vagina and virgin and stuff. I often have conversations that sound like this "Hey, Jay, do you think you could pass me the vaccuum please? Thanks darling".

Ooooohhh.... come over here real close C1
and say my name in my ear..... :flirt:

"hon" is one of those words that easily sounds condescending (sp?), so I never, ever use it.

 

[ChristineES]

I absolutely hate racial and other slurs. I don't use them at all. I don't like any word that may hurt someone's feelings.

Same here, and I include "****" and "whore."

 

[Scruffitude]

Most of the words I'd put here you couldn't say on the forums.

 

[kadzbiz]

I hate it when you're trying to talk something out with someone and they say "whatever".

 

[Quagmire]

Not to crazy about "Monday".

 

[methylatedghosts]

Same here, and I include "****" and "whore."

I use the first as a curse word that I'd use in such situations as stubbing my toe or hammering my thumb with a hammer.

That's odd but funny.

There's one specific word that begins with a C that I do not like, but I can't write on the forums otherwise I'll get a warning or something even more drastic!

I had a busboy fired for saying that word at an Olive Garden. He was referring to the waitress that asked him to clean the table. He said it loud enough that I heard it across the room and there were kids in the same area we were sitting at. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind.

*edited by staff* Can't recall other words. I simply hate them so I've forgoten some of those words.

 

[Mr.Anderson]

I can't stand when people shorten words. Like "veggie" instead of vegetables. Or "Mani Pedi" instead of manicure and pedicure. Or "paci" instead of pacifier.

I also hate when people type "loose" when they mean "lose". I haven't seen that on this forum though.

As an English teacher, I naturally hate it when people use English in a backward or retarded way. For example, people who abbreviate every word when they type "i wnt u 2 no, i luv u" - most of the time, it's only a couple of letters different anyway. For me, it's far more effort to think about how to abbreviate everything than it is just to type it all out. It's also completely and utterly pathetic to use English in such a disgraceful way.

Secondly, sorry American cousins, but your spelling changes are unacceptable, and frankly, so is some of your pronunciation. I will force myself to forgive you, but....eugh. seriously - color, honor, neighbor? COLOUR, HONOUR, NEIGHBOUR. It's only one more letter to remember, and finally, (in the words of stephen fry) the crowning turd in the waterpipe - Aluminum - It's ALUMINIUM. ok? OK then.

Am I straying a bit off topic? OK, sorry. I really hate the words "gay" and "***" when it means homosexual. Where I come from, *** means cigarette too - dunno which usage came first. Anyway, *** just sounds really really horrible when you use it to mean homosexual. In addition, I really hate the word "gay" - I mean...it meant happy before right? So why did people decide it was a good word to use to mean homosexual. I mean, I've heard that story, about the gays in New York who would use it as some kind of code word or something...anyway, I think we should choose another word. I cringe every time I say the word, which is irritating for me since I am...that way. haha.

 

[LongGe123]

oh it censored one of my words - haha, I didn't realise it would. ok, well, I'm sure you can guess it, it begins with "f"

 

[Ozzie]

Are there any words that you just absolutely abhor?

Words that you completely refuse to use, for one reason or another?

What are they?

I HATE the word "cuckold" or "cuckolded". It sounds DIRTY to me. It sounds like something a man does to his wife in the privacy of their bedroom "Awww man, I sure cuckolded the wife last night. Yeah, baby."

Also, words that start with the letter V. I CAN use them, but for some unknown, subconscious reason, everytime I do, they always come out in a whisper! I swear to the Gods, and not just vagina and virgin and stuff. I often have conversations that sound like this "Hey, Jay, do you think you could pass me the vaccuum please? Thanks darling".

What about you guys?

One word entered my head "perfunctory". Smacks of elitism as does "perfection". So any word being with perf...

Color, honor, and neighbor are all much better ways of writing out those words in my humble opinion (I resisted typing "imho" just for you ). American English is merely coming closer to the original Latin alphabet, which was completely phonetic. Also, Aluminum was changed to comply with the rest of the periodic table that ended with the -um suffix. LithiUM, SodiUM, ScandiUM, AluminIUM? It does not sound particularly nice. We Yanks know the true way, obviously .

I am quite surprised that no one mentioned the word "like." I hate this word. Every man, woman and child in California says it in between almost every word. If you listen to a teenage girl, especially when she's telling a story, you can count at least thirty "likes" per minute. Abhorrent.

"Like oh my god I just went to the movies and like saw Australia and like Hugh Jackman was like so freakin' hot like." It's a horrible butchering of the English language.

I used to hate the B word until I learned an anagram(I think that is what it is when you use the letters to mean something) Babe In Total Control of Herself.

Same with the C word Whenever I am called it I just say "Thank you, I am Cute, Uninhibited, and Naturally Talented too bad you will never know what I am naturally talented at!

Stacey - hey, I am widcha on the Coke thing. I am Southern too and I can't STAND when people call it soda or pop!!!!!!! IT'S ALL COKE.

Nonononono... pop, please. "Coke" means Coca-Cola and nothing else.

I'm with you on the "soda" thing, though. It can apply to specific beverages (e.g. Cream Soda, Club Soda) but it's not a blanket term for carbonated non-alcoholic drinks.

Which reminds me: of course it's pop. Would you say "Alco-Coke" or "Alco-Soda"? No, alco-pops are alco-pops.

I remember some rural areas down south where they called it "soda water". Someone asked me if I wanted a soda-water once and I didn't know what they were talking about. :yes:

Around here, "soda water" is synonymous with club soda. A Southerner asking for a soda water in a Toronto restaurant would get a surprise much like the one a Canadian gets when ordering iced tea in the States (what we call "iced tea", you call "sweet tea". I learned that one the hard way )

No I mean different regions of the US called it different things. Like that whole list you have there of 7UP, Sprite, Mt. Dew, etc. would be called soda in one region, pop in another and coke in another......

I've noticed people use soda in the North, coke in the South and pop in the West but of course it could be anything...personal preference, whatever.

To the map!

I include basically any insult or epithet that applies to one gender but not to the other.
