Absotively Posilutely
I used that phrase once in a rare moment of lingual dyslexia. I've since integrated it into my vocabulary - there's those occasions where it absoltively posiltely works...

A word that you detest
Vacay, too. Vacation is only one more syllable but I guess it takes too long to say.Convo = conversation. BRB=Be right back. TTYL=talk to you later. Yes, I miss complete words and sentences.
Ha ha ...I use TTYL all the time when I want to stop texting w/someone.Convo = conversation. BRB=Be right back. TTYL=talk to you later. Yes, I miss complete words and sentences.
I can't give you enough likes for that, Lara. A few years ago everyone on the internet had a narcissistic mother, a controlling husband or a boyfriend who was trying to gaslight them.Narcissistic.

Hmmm, I really can't think of any f-n words I dislike, at the moment.

Yes, those three: narcissistic ,controlling and gaslight-ing have become buzz words to describe and assign blame in broken relationships.I can't give you enough likes for that, Lara.

I have to say in my 55 years of life I have never heard that word.
Thank you! I was out walking by the lake and decided to take a selfie.My husband agrees with you. I'll say, "Oh it's going to rain on the new snow and make slush, I hate slush!" and he'll say, all prissy-like, "Hate is such a strong word." I hate when he does that.
And yet I've never heard someone call a woman a prick. No excuses, Dseag2! ( I like your new avatar!)

Does ghosting fit in there?Yes, those three: narcissistic ,controlling and gaslight-ing have become buzz words to describe and assign blame in broken relationships.
I often suspect that it "might be" the teller of the story as being the culpable one....
When I first saw the thread title, and figured we can only pick one, one at the top of my list would beOne 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?
