Words you hate????

[Sandy]

I remember reading on here a while back, in a thread about an Old Navy or Gap commercial, that someone hated the word tunic. Which I found to be both amusing and perplexing. :lol2: I just read in a scrapbook mag one of the award winners was being interviewed and she said she hated the word moist. Which I have heard from other people before. Then I realized I, too, have a word that I hate. It is taunting me right now, for obvious reasons as I live w/ a 3 year old who is potty training.......panties. OMG, I hate that word. So for me, it is "big girl underwear" not big girl panties. Likewise, the phrase "put your big girl panties on and deal with it" is not a favorite.

Any words you hate? What is the reason? I still don't understand why someone would hate the word tunic??? :lol:

[Bridget]

Panties... :lol2: That's funny. :lol:

I do have a word I hate... and now I can't think of it! :duh:

[Bridget]

OK well I hate it when men say, "the wife". Does that count? :lol:

[BonnieG]

I hate the word mucus membrane (okay, that is technically 2 words) but just the sound of it makes me want to take a shower for fear that there is something slimy on me!!

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

[Barb]

I'm not a fan of 'moist'. For what it can mean :dead: and it just sounds weird. myoyst, hard to type it out. You have to put your lips in a weird position to sound it out.

I don't like fart, either.

[Michele]

I'm not a fan of moist or panties either...I also don't really like the word loin...

[Jayne]

I hate the word Shut-up. It is just so mean and well rude. I have never and will never use that word in my house.

[Bridget]

I don't like saying the word "dandruff". I finally thought of it. :lol:

[Barb]

I'm not a fan of moist or panties either...I also don't really like the word loin...

"moist" and "panties" don't go well together, either.

[Brandi Jo]

My most unfavorite word in the world is "phlegm" I shudder just typing it!

[Karri]

moist, panties and loin :lol:those all go together so well :lol:

I dont care for any of those. I do use the statement "put on your big girl panties", though.
Two of my big ones are fellowship and hubby

[Missy&Maggie]

:lol: at this thread. I would never have thought of anything except that they were discussing this on the radio the other day and I had to agree with them. I don't like the word yeast. Ewww....

[Barb]

I don't like the word yeast. Ewww....

Good one to add to the moist-panty-loin theme. :lol:

[gulp!]

I refuse to use the word panties. It's undies in this house.

Mine is 'nipple'.

[BonnieG]

LOL...you would hate getting my daughter changed. She always has to find hers and say...."hey Mommy, there's my nipple...where'd my other nipple go (she searches)...THERE's my other nipple!"

[Michal]

I don't think I like any of these words :lol:

[schwanda]

I have to confess that I have used the term mucus membrane often during work! :lol:

I was also going to comment that moist and panties together lead to an.... well.... interesting visual...
I agree that "shut up" is quite ugly!

Amanda

[Missy&Maggie]

I have to confess that I have used the term mucus membrane often during work! :lol:



Ah yes. MMM = moist mucus membranes! :lol:

[Clare]

The only one I can think of starts with a c and ends with a t.

[Girlo]

The only one I can think of starts with a c and ends with a t.

I'll do a big ditto that this is the only word I can think of as well.....

As for the rest of you.....here's another Friend's reference - "moist maker". :giggle:

[Barb]

Um yeah, not my favorite Friends quote. :lol:

[Michele]

going along with Clare's word....(and I guess moist and panties too... :lol: ) another word I hate is pu$$y (I had originally typed the real word, but it looked to nasty to me!).

Karri, I don't like the word fellowship either!

[Clare]

Oh yeah, I agree with pussy too, Michelle :nod:

[Nichole]

Panties tops my list. Hate.that.word. :dead:

And these aren't that I hate the actual word, I just hate the mispronunciation:
"nuk-u-lar"
"real-a-tor"
It drives me insane when people pronounce those words like that! It's "nue-clee-ar" and "re-al-tor" people! :gah:

[Karri]

I remember the moist maker!! :lol:

[stass]

Panties tops my list. Hate.that.word. :dead:

And these aren't that I hate the actual word, I just hate the mispronunciation:

"real-a-tor"

YES!!!

I must admit I like the naughty words. c-word and pussy. I mostly use them to get laughs though. Also I don't use them as euphamism for vagina. I use them as things to call people. i.e. she is a... don't be a .....KWIM?

Totally agree with you Nichole! I also hate it when people pronounce coupon c-yew-pon. My husband (or hubby tee hee) pronounced it that way when we first met and I used to give him such a hard time! He says I'm just a snob... :snob:

I also don't like the word c**t. Ick.

[Ana975]

I hate the word "soiled".

I work at BB&B part-time and sometimes we sell things the displays and we have to state what's wrong with them. Most of the time, they are just dirty or dusty. One of the managers at work refuses to write dusty and says they are soiled. I hate that! Makes it sound like someone just wiped their butt with it.

Ok...I agree w/ you here. Although I can only say the c-word. Not the p-word. And only as an insult.

and referring to the genetalia, I hate the word 'twat' :errr:

[schwanda]

My boss (who is a prominent pediatric urologist) refers to the genitalia as a Susie and a Johnson. (Not when he's talking to patients but when we're joking around in the OR).

Amanda

[Karri]

A Susie :lol2:

[magoo]

Most any part of the female genitalia. Vulva, labia... well, those are the two worst, I think. Anna seems to really like the word vulva, though. :disbelief

[Nichole]

I don't care much for that word either, Sarah. I'm glad I don't have a girl. :heee: That just reminded me of a story, though. An old friend came out here to visit from South Dakota and we were driving around and she commented on all of the different tyeps of cars out here (yes, we grew up in Podunk! :hehe: ). She asked me, "What's that station wagon again? A Vulva?" :lol2:

[Barb]

I pretty much dislike any word and/or euphamism for female genitalia. 'Susie', now that's something I could picture saying, though.

[bunybomb]

Seen! I hate the word seen. People in Colorado use it instead of 'saw' including my husband! :gah:

I seen Becky the other day.
I seen that movie.


Drives me batty. :silly:

[Barb]

I thought of another one - efforting.

Have you done that thing I asked you to do yet? Efforting. Seriously, I hear people talk like that.

[Sandy]

:wtf: I would be so clueless if someone said that to me Barb!!! :lol:

Yea, that would drive me nutso Becky.

[Karri]

Why did we get stuck with bunk-ass names for our pieces and parts? They are all just terrible to say, IMO.

[Nichole]

I don't even get what that is supposed to mean, Barb. :lol:

Becky, I hate the misuse of 'seen', too. It was a common thing in South Dakota where I grew up.

[Michele]

Ok...I have several points to make... :lol:

1. as for the two horrid reference to the female genatalia (p and c), I agree that I think it's funny to use them as insults when making fun of someone (for the shock value - most people are shocked when they hear a word like that come out of my mouth!), but I hate hate hate them when used to describe the actual part.

2. I really don't like any of the common words for the girl parts.

3. I agree with Becky and HATE when people use seen in that context.

4. I really hate SUPPOSABLY...is is SUPPOSEDLY...my old boss (a SVP at a reputable insurance company) use to use that all the time, and I totally lost respect for her b/c of it

[schwanda]

I just so annoyed just listening to all the poor grammar on tv. Not that my grammar is perfect but someone should proof read the news before it gets read on tv!

Amanda

[Karri]

No kidding, Amanda. It irritates me when newscasters say cities/states incorrectly (New Orleans, Oregon). Barb...get on that, will you? :lol:

[Darcy]

I agree with the whole female body parts discussion. :dead: Ick.

I get so annoyed at grammatical errors in newspapers. The whole "its, it's", "your, you're", and "there, their, they're." The papers have fact checkers.

Or when people say irregardless.

[magoo]

"Irregardless" is one of Eric's big pet peeves. His boss says it all of the time.

I just thought of another one when posting in my journal. I cut my hand last week and needed stitches. The place that I cut? The "webbing" between my thumb and pointer finger. Um, I have webbing? Ick!

[Nocona]

Paul calls Sara's stuff her "Susie" :giggle:

I hate the word panties too :dead:

[TtownAnne]

Our neighbor's word for the parts is "Hoohoo". I giggle every time I think of it in a sentence!

[Sandy]

Yes, irregardless. Not a word, people!!!

I thought of another word I hate b/c I simply cannot physically say it.

Integral.

Do you say it:

In-TEG-ral?
In-te-GRAL?

I hate that word.

[Sandy]

Sidebar: I had to go back four pages to find this thread! Holy posting madness!!!!

[Nichole]

I can't stand irregardless, either. Or orientate. That is not a word! You can go through orientation, but you orient yourself to your surroundings.

[pam]

I had a really sweet co-worker who used to say orientate. She would tell me of her plans to *shudder* "orientate" a new employee. I wanted to say, "that's not a real word, the correct word is..." but then I found it in the dictionary.

[Nichole]

I don't care if it's in the dictionary. It's still annoying and I think it makes a person sound dumb when they use it. :snob:

:lol:

[Barb]

Flatulence. Not just what it means ( :dead: ) but the word is weird.

Oh, and masticate.

[pam]

I don't care if it's in the dictionary. It's still annoying and I think it makes a person sound dumb when they use it. :snob:

:lol:

:lol: I feel the same way about it. I wonder why,though. Perhaps it's that there is another less complicated word that has the same meaning? I always think why use orientate when you can use the word orient. :dunno: Maybe I'm a :snob:, too?
