A word that you detest

[caroln]

One word I've always despised is "tasty". I don't know why, but every time I hear it, it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Does anyone else have a hated word or phrase?

 

[Gaer]

Yes, "genre" so overused and a bit pretentious.

Closure

My 3.5 year old grandson told me he doesn't like the word 'wow.'

 

[officerripley]

Believe or belief.

So

"How does that work?
"So.........."

"Why are you doing that?"
"So.........."

"Could you explain that?"
"So.........."

"How do you know?"
"So........."

Well I could tell you but it is so filthy as far as I am concerned that I can't. It is a word I have never said in my lifetime!

As a kid.... enema

Now? in answering the phone; 'Dad?'

After that, there's nothing good coming outa that receiver

 

[RFW]

Most teen slangs in general but I have great disdain for the word "GOAT" for greatest of all time.

[Rah-Rah]

One word I detest is the word "Hate" . I feel that is such a strong word. Detest means pretty much the same thing.

The "F" word!?

If it is the "F", I am sad, it is one of my favorite words. It expresses so much, especially when you smash your thumb with a hammer. "Ow, oh F*@K!"

 

[mrstime]

Nope I hear the F word a lot, I have even said it on rare occasions.

Good, you had me worried!

The word starts with a C and is only used on women, and I might beat the life out of anyone that might use it on me.

 

[dseag2]

Interestingly, the word you are referring to is used very differently in other countries...

As a broader derogatory term, it is comparable to prick and means "a fool, a dolt, an unpleasant person – of either sex". This sense is common in New Zealand, British, and Australian English, where it is usually applied to men or as referring specifically to "a despicable, contemptible or foolish" man.

I worked at a large Aerospace plant for 3 years. I was surprised at how many times engineers used that word when complaining about the female office staff.
They always used the word "Dumb" in front of it.

I do not like that one either. I am still working on getting it completely out of my vocabulary. It is one of those words that affects me more the one it is directed towards.

Like I said I'd beat the stuffing out of anyone using it on me.
