Is there a word that freaks you out, or that you hate?

[Linda W]

Ick, and I don''t like the word butt floss either Skippy, tee hee

 

[diamondfan]

IWPO, it is even WORSE to me than the F word. I have been know to use the F bomb descriptively and it does not sound classy but it is not nearly as offensive to me as the C word. I think the C word is the lowest of the low.

I read a funny (or heard?) skit, I think by the late great George Carlin but I might be wrong...about the F word and how it is used in some many capacities...such as

Surprise: Your bleeping kidding me!!!
Anger: What the bleep?!

etc. It was very clever...

Just plain old curse words are not the worst thing to me. Insulting and vile terms aimed at people bug me more.

 

[matildawong]

Oh man. I''ve always had this list of words I don''t like. I finally felt validated when a journalism teacher had us list words we hated and lots of people came up (including me) with: panties, moist, etc...

I just cannot stand "toot" for fart. When we were little, my sister and I called them froggies.
(We also called bums ''bummies'' or ''my bummy'' or whatever. My mom also called poop ''Icky'' -- so of course we did -- which makes me laugh at my mom''s very low tolerance for bodily functions and messy children in general.)


I prefer undies to underwear. And I agree with iwannaprettyone: friggin'' sounds the same to me as the F word.

 

[Shoopy]

My FI doesn''t like the word "piss" or "leak"

You will never hear him say those words. He will always say "I need to use the restroom" And if he hears a lady say it

ITA, by a land slide!!

 

[Maisie]

I hate, hate, hate the C word!!! Its horrid!!

 

[decodelighted]

J'adore MOIST, PANTIES, TOOT, POOT, POOP, POOPY, MOISTEN, MOISTURE, PANTALOONS, & combinations of said words into colorful phrases.

"Saliva" is the one that gets me.

And "titties".

Did you see the episode where Kathy Griffin married a couple and she asked them if there were any words to avoid during the ceremony & they made only one request -- don't use "titties" (how weird right?) so, of course, she used the word all through the wedding.

ETA: Hee hee ... I thought of another term that yicks me out -- "crotch rocket"

NOOOO!!! Stoppit! All the bad words in one sentence!!!!

I hate the word ''titties'' too. Yuk Yuk!

 

[MonkeyPie]

I don''t actually have any words I dislike, but I DO hate it when people pop their p''s when they talk. You know when your mouth is dry, and everything sounds "sticky"? God it''s so gross. I will go get you some water, if you just stop that irritation!

On that same line, I had a friend in high school that used to make her p''s pop when she said soup. And it drove me INSANE. She would do it on purpose constantly heh.

My husband hates using the word "relations" instead of "sex." I asked him once (in a joking manner) if he wanted to have relations, and he was so disgusted. I have no idea why lol.

This thread is such fun!

I call my under garments ''knickers'', Panties seems such a pervy word. Makes me shudder!! I''m glad its not just me Bruddah and Going Crazy!

I also hate the word ''Penis''.... I hope I don''t get into trouble for saying it... Its a proper word for a mans wotsit but I just can''t make myself say it out loud!!

LOL LOL LOL!!!! DH hates the word wiener!!!! Penis is the only acceptable word in his opinion! Isn''t it just called a thing?

lunch time!!

 

[isaku5]

Okay, if it''s only one word it''s "whatever" when it''s used as an answer to a question. It freaks me out seriously!

 

[sap483]

I also can''t tolerate hearing the "c word." I''m also on the panties bandwagon. I don''t lilke poop, but I like poo, weird right?

Other words that really bug me are those that are shortened when there is absolutely no reason to shorten them. For example, my best friend has been on this kick where she replies "Ob-v" (instead of obviously) when you ask her a question. Me: Did you get a nice tan on your vacation? Her: Ob-v. It drives me absolutely crazy!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

Nonya- as in "none ya damn business" I HATE THAT ONE TOO...so rude.

 

[Pandora II]

Oh Maisie, I''m so with you on the panties thing - it sounds like some tacky story in News of the World!

Now ''Knickers'' is a lovely word.

There are a lot of other words I hate that you guys have already covered - but could I please add ''smear''?

I''m also not a fan of medical words for bits.

As kids, we used the word ''pank'' instead of fart - no idea why! In Italian farting is ''scoreggiare''.

An Italian word I always hated was their word for bra (which I don''t care for either) - they call it a ''regiseno'' (seno meaning breast) which always made me think of regimented breasts in some kind of military uniform...

Yey for knickers!!!

 

[TravelingGal]

I don''t like the word "ho"...mostly because people who use it just seem so dumb.

 

[jas]

I prefer to use the term "bloomers" to any of the alternatives.

My last five years of teaching I noticed the use of the word "Wait," to start a sentence. Not "Wait, please don''t continue talking because you''re going to fast and I need clarification..." but it was used to start almost any sentence or answer. I would call on a student who was raising his/her hand and would get, "Wait, is the answer Timbuktu?"

"Wait, Ms. Jas..."

I always wanted to start moving in slo-mo.

DH always says "Nerples" instead of "nipples" and my mom for some reason thinks the mop is called a "Swifter" and not a "Swiffer." I find the former funny and the latter just annoying for some reason.

Oh! Oh! I forgot about that one. Despicable. "Whatever"... the sound isn''t so bad as the vibe.

I also forgot about pus and papule. Macule. *blech* Maculopapular... eeeewwww. Mucopurulent.

Oy... the visuals...

I''m afraid, though, that c*** is one of my all time favorite words.

 

[TravelingGal]

Wait would bug me too.

"supposably" instead of "supposedly" always raises an eyebrow with me, even though supposedly, supposably is a word you can use in the supposedly context.

Also, some things that TGuy says wigs me out, but I believe it is considered correct in Australia. Stuff like,

Orientated. As in "family orientated" instead of "oriented".

The combination of a plural verb with a single noun that represents multiple. As in, "the team do want to win" instead of "the team does want to win."

Studying "maths" instead of "math".

And other stuff like that.

Umm... you are NOT alone.

Check out this thread from a couple of days ago:

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/inside-the-actors-studio-questions.92708/


I HATE the word panties, and moist. Ugh! I shudder at the thought.

Elledizzy I ABSOLUTELY HATE the words panties and moist....I almost can''t even type them!!! Horrible horrible!!
Also: Pimple and calous (sp)

OH good call.

People that say "all intensive purposes" instead of the proper "all intents and purposes".

 

[iwannaprettyone]

oh and the use of effect and affect.

 

[diamondfan]

I hate some of the euphemisms for the male anatomy...trouser snake, pants monster, one eyed anaconda...yikes, none of those sound remotely nice to me, but sound like something to avoid!!!

there are other terms that I find annoying but they are not repulsive, I just find them to not sound nice. I can live with them, but I prefer people not use those terms...

I also dislike the use of the word "like", it peppers many conversations, and I am certainly guilty of using it as well...but it does irk me somewhat. My kids use it, like, excessively. The other one that makes my skin crawl is when someone says "and I went, yeah?" instead of "and I said, yeah"...you are not going anywhere, you are talking. Just does not sound proper.

 

[matildawong]

Ooh, another one that kind of makes me cringe is "whatnot". When it''s used in similar fashion to the over-used "like".


Also, another vote for pimple. Ick. Blemish is much nicer but I usually say zit.

 

[CJ2008]

I hate when people say

mines (i.e., mines is sweet)
I says (so I says to him...)
Brung (I brung it over there)

Yes - there are people who say these things!

arrrrrgggghhhhh

Makes my skin crawl

ETA: one more: congradulations instead of congratulations. I know in Hallmark cards it's used as a cutesy way of combining the congratulations with the graduation...but I think some people think it's spelled that way...

pus, pustule, carbuncle
the c word (really top of my list and totally heinous to me)
craniotomy
annihilation

a lot of the ones that freak me out are medical terms, I envision the procedure being done. I also get freaked out by words like annihilate as I can picture a devastated landscape or something similar.

i don''t know that word

I usually prefer the technical names to the slang terms.


I say the *real* version of Va-jay-jay no problem.


I dont think we had euphemisms for body parts when i was a child, so as an adult, I still prefer the clinical terms.


And we NEVER said panties. NEVER!!

That''s so funny Elle, I am the same way. The technical names all sound sort of funny in and of themselves, but something about them being the "real" name for something gives it some authority in my mind or something, and makes me feel less awkward saying them. I always feel SO silly when I call things by euphemisms, and I''m pretty sure it''s because we never did when I was a kid.


I also hate the word panties. I especially hate it because every time I hear it it seems to be part of the phrase "don''t get your panties in a bunch" which almost always sounds [and is meant!] condescending.

 

[Dancing Fire]

what''s another word for bra?

I hate the word panties.. No idea why but I can''t even say it out loud without cringing! Do you have a word which really bothers you?

Add me to the panties

haters bruddah

Me too, it seems MEN always say Panties. blah

I know, it is such a horrible horrible word. WHY panties??? I refer to ''em by their proper name, drawers!

panties sux.

ha ha ha ha. I just say underwear. I hate thongs too.

Thongs!!!! Haha! My MIL who is not an especially feminine or small woman went into a store looking for ''thongs''. She said the saleswoman looked at her, horrified, and took her to the lingere department. MIL, who would consider going to hell before wearing a thong shouted at the saleswoman, ''THE KIND FOR YOUR FEET!!!'' LOL - to hear her tell this story is hysterical. She was so offended that someone would think SHE would wear a thong.

OMG I may have just tee-teed my "panties"!

They call them thongs (for flip flops) in australia. I kept tittering whenever TGuy''s grandmother (who is 83), I MUST pick up a pair of thongs, they are so comfortable!
