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.

So many people have issues with this word. I’m not a fan, but I don’t really know why.

this word bothers me so very much. I even hate the sound of it. I cringe when anyone says it.

I have a few:

  1. Knob
  2. Moist
  3. Panty
  4. Rural
  5. 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?”

Especially if it’s said without the “the”. Example: Do you have to go potty? SO BAD!

 

It makes me think polyester...

Widget_ci5uapqinbfaxwr8xkdiyx

…and that makes me itchy. NO SLACKS FOR ME!

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.

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!

added by AkKris 10/01/2009

Albeit

My co-worker works this word into every sentence that he can.

Terrified of "Apps"

Widgetd_3456289810560

I hate the word “Apps.”
What is so difficult about saying the word “Application”?

added by fangtasia 10/05/2009

so sick of cutsie

Widgetd_3456291035180

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.

added by EllieN 10/25/2009

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!

Yes re: pocketbook!!!! A friend of mine in college had a whole slew of words she hated and moist was one of them. Also, “penetrate.”
