Are there any words that you can't stand the sound of? Does hearing them make your skin crawl and give you a strong desire to hit whoever said them? Are these words completely and utterly inoffensive? If so, then this is the thread to vent your complaints in. Note that this is not the thread for bashing people who use these words. Hate whatever word you will, but be nice to people. Or else.
I have a lot of word aversions, but I'll share my main offenders.
- WHOOPIE. I can barely bring myself to type this word. It's dumb. It's gross. Both of its pronunciations are just hateful to me.
- GOODIE. This one's almost as bad as the previous one. It's weird and juvenile.
- TWEET. This one usually bothers me unless you say it right. Most of the time it sounds like you're saying "to eat" and... No. That's incorrect. Kinda sucks growing up in the Twitter generation.
- TREAT. Similar to TWEET, except usage is also a factor.
- FLESH. I think it's something with the "esh" ending and the way it interacts with the "l"? I just said it out loud to figure it out and I feel unclean.
