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?

That's interesting, because normally Eurotrash isn't actually applied to Europeans! It's used to refer to Americans and/or styles, fads, attitudes, etc. that are European or have pretensions of being. Like I'd say my friend Caleb is very Eurotrash, since a lot of his food is imported, he drinks nothing but German and Italian mineral water, he doesn't drive, etc. I've been called Eurotrash many times myself.

Different meaning I guess.

Ha! Well, I suppose it makes more sense in that context. However, there's nothing worse than reading the Guardian debates page and having an American come on and tell us we're all retard Eurotrash. *Gets stabby*

You're not Eurotrash. You're just open to European culture, whether that be German beer or the wonders of Boots. ;)
