The Words I Hate
So, I said I made a list of words I really, really hate. Here they are. It was either show you them, or go on ad nauseum about baby names, which would be about as interesting as… actually, I can’t think of anything more boring.
1. Bowels
2. Stool
In the medical sense. I don’t have anything against chairs.
3. Cloud
Granted, probably because my life is controlled by clouds
4. Snout
5. Bound
I don’t know why. I just hate the long vowel sound.
6. Eurotrash
Obviously, because it’s insulting, far too generic and, ironically, is always used by trashy people.
7. Discharge
Either the bodily kind, or the “Hello! Lots of discharges today, which means several hours of admin work for you!
8. Like
Not the word per se, but more that it is like interjected like so much for like no discernible reason, like.
9. Mofo
I refuse to give that word its full title. Both childish and vulgar all in one
10. Chicken
Ever heard a Liverpudlian pronounce it? It’s akin to schikkin.
Additions, anyone?

Date: 2005-06-16 07:03 pm (UTC)However, to be fair, I would say that given where I live. It makes me laugh when it's used in an ironic sense, such as the UK television show Eurotrash, where a Frenchman points fun at some of the more bizarre and tacky programmes we show... but, I don't know. I've only ever seen it in a European-bashing context, in articles and films. It's never really going to endear me to the word. ;)

Egg's an ugly word, too. I hated hearing it in This Life. Always made me feel sick. No, literally.
