Words you hate

ThetaGirl1997 · #1 06-01-2003, 06:23 PM

I know there is a thread on words we don't like to hear (overused, etc.) This is for words that you just can't stand the sound of. Some of mine:

Moist - I HATE this word with a passion.
Plump
Panties
Slacks

There are others that I'll have to add as I think of them!!

Environmentalist
Protester
Politically-Correct
Jew (when used in a derogatory manner)
Occupied Territories (the 'occupied territories' were fairly gained in a war they did not start)
Moderate (the is no such thing)
Comp (it's such a stupid abbreviation!)
Laci Peterson (I just don't care enough about the case to hear about it 4 hours a day)
Yankee
French
Aggie (i'm gonna get in trouble for this one

)
Jayhawk
Wildcat
Topeka
Kansas

HA! I thought I was the only one who hated the word "slacks."

Most any trendy slang word used on MTV. They make the person using it sound stupid.

Soup

Yummy

Rar (roommate said it all the time last year, drove me nuts!)
Frat (you don't call your country a cunt...)
Cunt
Pussy
Twat
Formal Group Housing (it's an LU thing)
Pot

James, my theory is this: Fuck & shit are okay 'cuz they're derrogatory slang for something that everybody does. Cunt, pussy, twat, etc., are derrogatory slang for something that is unique to women.

I also can't stand the phrase "Lost my virginity." Virginity is not something you lose. It's not a set of car keys. You're not going to find it in the couch cushions between the remote and the spare change.

Now THAT is funny.

This isn't so much the word itself, but I hate when people say "pitcher" instead of "picture"

Words I hate:

Coolie
Word-when used as a "yes" or something like that

i have never thought of that. perhaps people should start saying that 'i gave up my virginity, but thats kind weird. how about just 'i am not a virgin' would if people starting saying 'i sold my virginity for a night of some lovin'

THANK YOU!!!! I thought I was the only one who thought that!!! Its not lost, you know exacutly where it went.

I also hate the word 'panties'. My reasoning- you call boots/shoes for little babies 'booties', so wouldn't 'panites' be little pants for babies, but instead its underwear for girls.

Tits/teets (don't know why for this one)

Right now I hate the words that stand for ATP, DNA (and the associated bonds and stuff) and anything else having to do with biology. Not that I hate biology, but trying to teach it to high schoolers is getting on my nereves.

I cringe every time I hear "G*d Damn".

Me, too.

I can't stand when I say someone's name, and they respond by saying, "What?"

I heard a joke a long time ago about losing virginity. The comedienne said that she didn't lose it. It didn't disappear one day. She knew exactly where it went. "I left my virginity in the backseat of a car." Funny stuff.

Cunt

Pussy

Twat

But using words such as Fuck, shit, etc are ok?

Yes, some girls find those words offensive. The "c" word I don't use. The others--- yes, I use them. As a matter of fact-- F**k is my word of choice!!

(i know not very lady like--too bad)
James, I am not sure why these words are thought of as offensive. I actually find very little offensive, but I know plenty of people who do.

I also never understood why girls get so upset over the word bitch. And the line "it's a pg dog", doesn't cut it for me. That word has it's own meaning that goes well beyond the definition found in Websters.

Me too Sandy. I "damn" alot of things --- but I never use the phrase G*d Damn.
I also cringe when I hear people say "Jesus Christ" in a non-religious conversation-- ya'll know what I'm talking about.

I'm with you on the "panties" bandwagon. I've hated that word since I was a little girl, and flat out refused to say it. (Chalk "Under-Roos," and "Under-Garments" up there too. It's just plain "Underwear!") Jeesh.

On a sort-of related subject- I hate when people (parents/young children) call their reproductive organs their "Privates." Ugh- reminds me of obsessive compulsive soccer moms who call having to pee needing to "tinkle."

Don't have so much of a problem with "tits" as I do with "titties." I'm not quite sure as to why...

Random words I hate:
-Swell
-Sponge
-Slick
-Toilet
-Vomit
-Shampoo (I don't know why but the word annoys me!)

KillarneyRose · #14 06-01-2003, 11:11 PM

I hate when people use the word "disrespect" as a verb (i.e. "She disrespected me."). Disrespect is a noun. Always has been, always will be.

Maybe popular usage has dictated that disrespect may be used as a verb but I will never go along with it! Never! Did you hear me??? NEVER!!.....(sounds of Tracy being dragged away kicking and screaming into the night)

um , in webster's dictionary, it has it used as a noun and a verb tense showing that it can have the endings -ed, -ing, -s... disrepect is a noun and a verb.

now far be it from me to correct you on something. my eyesight may be off and i didnt read it correctly. if 'respect' is a verb then it must have an opposite, 'disrespect'

i.e. 'i didnt appreciate the way you disrespected me'
it could also be said as ' i didnt appreciate the way you treated me with disrespect' personally, i think it sounds more educated (for lack of a better word) when it is used as a noun. but it is indeed a verb as well.
