Er...So...What's your least favorite word, the one word that you HATE to hear?

Mine? "Faggot". Every time I hear myself or someone else called that I just want to punch someone.

Oh wait, no...that's just my least favourite thing to do right now.

Okay...'gay' used in any way other than to mean homosexual in a positive way. 'Gay' to mean stupid or lame makes me mean.

"mock" (especially when used as a verb)

don't know why... that word just rubs me the wrong way.

maybe it's because when people say it, they so often sound pretentious/snobby.

as in, "Are you mocking me?"

Faggots
People tend to love or hate faggots, but freshly made in faggot gravy bare little resemblance to their distant cousins you may have seen in the deep freeze at your local supermarket.

When people use "OMG" in actual speech. You would think college level students could handle talking in actual English instead of Netspeak...but you'ld be surprised.

LOL does in fact mean laugh out loud, stupid. And second, laughs are NOT always out loud. If you PUSSIES laugh at someone behind their back, I doubt it would be out loud. And no, I do not dislike any words, except the way some black people use them. (i.e. I'm fista be out.) (Translation: I'm going to leave.) But my girlfriend hates the word pussy, that's why I incorporated it into this message.

"shut up"

because there is nothing more rude to me then to tell someone that nothing they say is worth hearing or listening to.

My friend does that ALL the time. It is so FUCKING annoying :headbang:

I wasn't aware that the 'C' word was that popular here? I hate that word, and I don't know many people who would use it. It's certainly the most banned word on TV etc...

That's one of my favourite words. I read somewhere that it was derived from an old english word meaning sheath (like for a sword). As is the name Kenneth, and its variations. So don't call your kid Kenneth.
I find the word 'horny' quite upsetting.

I think it's actually from the old norse, kunta, meaning pocket.

There are a few words I dislike.

"Victuals" -- I can never figure out how to pronounce it.

"Oxymoron" -- Although I like oxymorons, I hate the word "oxymoron".

"Homework" -- I mean, come on. They're assigning me homework when I can liquidate them with my atomic ion epsilon ray beam polarizer? If there was a convenient mercury source nearby? (It's boring, too.)

My all-time least favorites go to the quintessential fillers, "so", "like", and "totally". I, like, hear people talk like this like all the time and it so annoys the #@*! out of me, I totally like can't stand it.

Also, I dislike certain swear words (those beginning with "f" and "s" particularly), especially people who overuse them. Like candy, they are good in small quantities but make one sick when overused.

Oh God.
"Irregardless" ties with "flustrated" in my book.

There are a few words I dislike.

"Victuals" -- I can never figure out how to pronounce it.
--snip--


VIC-tchoo-uhls (if I could type a "schwa" vowel, it'd be where the "u" is).

I love words, so I love this thread. Of course, one cannot know love without hate (it's a generalization, please don't feel compelled to post logical proofs showing my fallacy...besides, last time I showed my fallacy, I was jailed and fined... ...can't go back to Denny's, either).

So, a least favorite word? Hard enough to pick a favorite -- but I think hated words are even harder to choose, because so much of the rancor depends upon context. For instance, a few people have posted that they don't like certain "dirty" words, chief among them being ****. Well, I have to agree with George Carlin who says that words themselves aren't bad. To paraphrase George, it isn't the word "****" that's bad; it's the misogynist asshole who hurls it.

I dropped an amplifier on my foot once in front of my high school choir class. I yelled "shit" because it hurt really bad. I actually had to defend myself to the principal (God bless America...) by posing this question: who was I actually "swearing" at? Gravity? My own incompetence? Sir Isaac Newton? The epithet wasn't directed at anyone and the context was one of duress. I was let go with a building reprimand -- nothing in my district file, but if enough building reps accumulate, you'll be officially cited. Land of the free, my ass -- like these kids don't go around saying these words to one another with direct intent. We're shielding kids from too much -- they're not fragile or cult obects; they're people, not property.

I'll cut this rant short and give my hated word:

appropriate

...but again, it's all about context.

Wow-managed a way to work that in. Pretty crafty of you. Hardly appropriate,though-wouldnt you say?
