What Words Make Your Skin Crawl?
I don't know what it is about some words but I HATE HATE HATE hearing them, seeing them, reading them, and thinking them. Am I the only one? (Please add to this guide so I stop feeling so darn crazy for, sheesh, word hatin'.) Add YOUR most hated words here!
This is my all time hated word of all time.
It makes me shudder. And now my office has instituted a “new business packet”. My ears bleed just a teeny little bit every time I hear it.
I carry a bag.
And no matter how many times I think of my adorable niece saying “pocka book” rather than pocket book I still can’t like this word.
The word FLESH makes my skin crawl… And my best friend once told me her most hated word was BUCKET, because her mother would always put a “bucket” beside my friend’s bed when she was throwing up.
I got this hated word from the peanut gallery...
And, yes. I agree.
For some reason it makes me think of open wounds. eeeewwwww!!!
I have a few:
- Knob
- Moist
- Panty
- Rural
- Slice
Two words that I completely hate are: Squishy, yes I know somewhat similar to moist. It’s not wet and it’s not dry, it is a bizarre texture and sight that cannot not easily be explained. I think of it every time I see people in hot dog eating contests dipping buns into glasses of water. GROSS
Vitreous, bleck! Eye anatomy is completely repulsive. Picture 9th grade science and the guy sitting next to you jabbing a cow eyeball with a probe. Thereby releasing the vitreous humor of the eye. Yummy!
Potty
It’s called a toilet. My wife hates this word. Everyone refers it to a potty when children are involved. “Do you have to use the potty?”
It makes me think polyester...
…and that makes me itchy. NO SLACKS FOR ME!
On the flip side … if you’ve got a favorite word add it here!
Maybe you have a hated word to type? Add it here!
YESSSS!! SLAAAAACKS!!! hurk
And pocketbook. I’ll slap a baby with a fish before I carry “pocketbook.”
Hmm…I love the words abattoir and Winnebago. And bumptious.
I hate the word munched and “orb” for eye!
CHUNKY
I HATE the word chunky!!! I also have a passionate hatred for monkeys. So Chunky Monkey? Despite it’s pure delicious-ness, I can’t even speak the name. GROSSS.

PANTIES!!
Seriously people, it’s UNDERWEAR!! Panties sounds dirty….I hate writing the stupid word….ugh i have to go wash my hands!
ad-VERT-isement
The english version is annoying…It’s adver-TISE-ment.
Baby Bump
I hate this. What an obnoxious way to say pregnant.
Cougar
I know some older women can be predatory about dating younger men, but this use irks me!
Albeit
My co-worker works this word into every sentence that he can.
Terrified of "Apps"
I hate the word “Apps.”
What is so difficult about saying the word “Application”?
so sick of cutsie
I HATE this word…maybe I’m just in a really bad mood but it makes my skin crawl because there are so many other ways to describe something that tastes delicious.
A few...
Moist, Cunnilingus, Mammogram, the “P” word fo a female’s private parts, and lastly, the “C” word for a female’s private parts. I hate that word most of all!
