Words I Hate

Okay, here's a chance to rant about words, in the English language, which really annoy you. Do you have a reason for it?

Mine?

Gusset - not sexy and just brings images of stained Bridget Jones type knicks.

    Vomit - It's just one of those words you hear and it makes you think of actually throwing up.

    I hate the word 'Minge' there are so many better words you can use for it that don't sound quite so... I can't even explain lol.
    I love the word Sponge though, quality!

    I used it this afternoon, much to my disgust, when some silly arse phoned my desk and told me that the building my office sits in had been picked to recieve a new swanky mobile phone and could she please speak to the house owner?

    I can't stand the way some program devs say GUI like "gooey". It just sounds all awkward and shit - I always say fucking G.U.I. Without the fucking.

    womb

    Womb's a great word! It's one of my favourites.

    I hate benign, which people find odd, given the connotations. The way it sounds just makes my skin crawl.

    Also thigh, and swell. And catarrh. And discharge.

    :sour:

    Nothing wrong with the word itself, but the new craze of using the word "proper" after every other word (with "like" added half a dozen times into every sentence) really rubs me the wrong way.

    crampon. don't know what the feck it is but the mix of tampon and cramp really doesn't sound good.

    gristle....filch....brassier....oh and beckham really gets on my tits, if that counts as a word.

    I really hate the word badger.

    Mostly because people trying to be 'random' and 'zany' always, always throw badgers into the conversation at some point.

    I'd rather have the actual animal thrown at me than hear the word again.

    :lol: This is soooo true!

    I agree with vomit - but would add spew. And I've no doubt said this before, but the word beverage makes me cringe.
