I hate the word Love.
Let me give you an example. My step-mother, aged 98, says she loves me whenever I speak
to her, and expects me to say it back. I don’t. This is partly because I don’t love her – not in any real sense of the word. It also is because my real mother, who has been dead for almost 50 years, I did love very much, but we never said the word. It wasn’t done in our family– but it wasn’t needed. We knew we loved each other. It wasn’t mentioned between my Dad or Sister and me either, but we were a close family. To say I love my step-mother would seem like a betrayal of my mother.
I know I hurt my step-mother’s feelings when I say, “Thank you” or “Good Bye” or “Okay” when she wants me to say those three words. It wouldn’t kill me to say them, and not mean them, and this last weekend, when her phone conversation ended with, “I love you so much,” said in a desperate voice, I found myself saying, “me too,” and then quickly hanging up before I could take it back. But it left a sour taste in my mouth.
When she chased my dad and married him within months of my mother’s death, she said. “I don’t want to be your mother. I just would like to be your friend.” I was okay with that, and I have kept my side of the bargain. I wrote to her regularly until her sight was too bad for her to read my letters, so now I phone her once a week. Every few years I go to visit her for a few days, as part of my trip to see other relatives. And I send her presents for her birthday and Christmas.
I think the word Love is overused by most – and as a result loses its real meaning. I also hate the kissing and hugging that seems expected and automatic with friends, and often strangers. I wonder if they see me cringe. I certainly never initiate these actions except with close family.
I know the Christian message – Love God and Love your Neighbours as you Love Yourself. I’m not sure I do very well at any of them. I try, but probably not hard enough.
I decided to make a list of things that I say I love, and analyze whether I am using the word incorrectly. I often say that I love to play bridge and scrabble. I look forward to my games each week, and usually have a good time, win or lose. I probably have a better time when I win, and when I meet up with people I enjoy being with, but for the most part, my life would be much duller without these pastimes. I really do love them.
I say I love to write, and to read stories, although both are dependent on me having the right frame of mind, and the right topic. If I lost my ability to do either, I would be devastated, so I do think Love is the right word to use.
What else do I love? A beautiful sunset, some particular pieces of music, being outside when the weather is perfect, a nice glass of wine at the end of the day, certain TV programmes that move me.
Certainly enough things to ensure that my life is for the most part a happy one. And in the end, does saying the word really matter?
I cannot stand this feeling
These nightmares in my head
I feel alone
I’m just another victim
In this cycle of fear
And of despair
I hate this world for everything that I am
The pain inside me is my only friend
The island of depression
My last golden refuge
I feel confused
This is my imperfection
The only way to hide
The wish to die
Я не могу выносить это чувство,
Эти кошмары в моей голове,
Я одинок.
Я просто ещё одна жертва
В этом бесконечном круге страха
и отчаяния.
Я ненавижу этот мир за то, какой я есть,
Боль во мне — мой единственный друг.
Остров депрессии,
Мое последнее золотое укрытие,
Я запутался.
Это мой недостаток —
Единственный способ укрыться —
Желание умереть.

(T.O.P) Она становится невыносимой,
Но он продолжает петь.
Я не допускаю даже мысли о расставании.
(Тэ Сон) Я знаю, что не могу коснуться тебя, да.
Я падаю, лови меня (здравствуй).
(G-Dragon) Я ненавижу эту песню… эту песню о любви
Я ненавижу эту песню эту песню о любви… Я ненавижу эту песню эту песню о любви (х2)
(Тхэ Ян) Я ненавижу эту песню о любви, и никогда больше не спою её снова.
Поэтому я смогу перестать думать о тебе. Я смогу, наконец, забыть тебя.
(Сын Ри) Я ненавижу эту песню о любви, но всё же спою её с улыбкой.
Я иду к тебе, чтобы ты забыла об одиночестве.
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo
(G-Dragon) Я напуган бессмыслием этого мира.
Позволь быть радом с тобой, там, где луна и звёзды.
(Тэ Сон) Ты знаешь, мы были прекрасны.
Я узнал, что такое любовь благодаря тебе. Здравствуй.
(Тхэ Ян) Я ненавижу эту песню… эту песню о любви
Я ненавижу эту песню эту песню о любви… Я ненавижу эту песню эту песню о любви
(G-Dragon) Я ненавижу эту песню… эту песню о любви
Я ненавижу эту песню эту песню о любви… Я ненавижу эту песню эту песню о любви
(Тхэ Ян) Я ненавижу эту песню о любви, и никогда больше не спою её снова.
Поэтому я смогу перестать думать о тебе. Я смогу, наконец, забыть тебя.
(G-Dragon) Я ненавижу эту песню о любви, но всё же спою её с улыбкой.
Я иду к тебе, чтобы ты забыла об одиночестве.
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo
(T.O.P) Эти тёплые лучи солнца, словно из другого мира,
И одиноко танцуют камыши.
Я по-прежнему стою на зелёном холме, продолжая разговор, который должен был закончить с ней.
От безжизненного неба я не услышу ответа.
Ты прячешься за тем облаком. Ты ведь наверно звезда.
(G-Dragon) Я закрываю глаза и чувствую твоё дыхание. Я мечтаю о тебе.
На моих губах застыла улыбка, у нас одно дыхание на двоих.
Время, остановись! Не разделяй меня с ней.
Ветер, перестань выть, ведь это последняя просьба к тебе.
(Тхэ Ян) Я ненавижу эту песню о любви, и никогда больше не спою её снова.
Поэтому я смогу перестать думать о тебе. Я смогу, наконец, забыть тебя.
(Сын Ри) Я ненавижу эту песню о любви, но всё же спою её с улыбкой.
Я иду к тебе, чтобы ты забыла об одиночестве.
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo.

[Verse 1: Deuce]
In a time of need
Only few can see what’s wrong
Millions tend to crawl
But only those who choose can make it through this all
Only few can sing like lions
‘Cause we sing until we’re gone
And we’ve got each other’s backs
Until we’re back where we belong
A woman held my shield
And through the battle we did wrong
A man who taught me wisdom
Through the static we recall
And maybe when we’re gone
Our names will echo through the stars
Every start’s got its ending
Even when we’ve learned to rise above it all
[Chorus: Deuce]
These lies are leading me astray
It’s too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I’ll sing you one last song, and then I’m gone
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
[Verse 2: Deuce]
And we once also had a story too
You can see that good men only come in few
Even in our greatest moments
We may win or we may lose
Every song’s got its rules
You’ve got to learn to make it through
Maybe one day we can choose
How it feels to be a woman or a man
Without rules, but buried underneath
There’s a picture glued
So when my body burns in ashes
Only sing the truth
Let these words strengthen all your views
Because these words were meant for you
[Chorus: Deuce]
These lies are leading me astray
It’s too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I’ll sing you one last song, and then I’m gone
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
[Bridge: Deuce]
And now I’m floating
Right above my coffin as it closes
I look down, I see Sigh
As she’s crying on my mama’s shoulder
I look up into the sky
As the gates of heaven open
Something’s wrong
Is this destiny or am I going home?
What will happen to my soul?
Will I come back?
I don’t know!
Will you meet me when it’s over?
Let me know!
You can meet me here in heaven
Don’t you ever let me go
This love this hate is burning me away!
[Chorus: Deuce]
These lies are leading me astray
It’s too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I’ll sing you one last song, and then I’m gone
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
These lies are leading me astray
It’s too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I’ll sing you one last song, and then I’m gone
I don’t wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
[Outro: Deuce]
This love, this hate is burning me away!
This love, this hate is burning me away!
How to Format Lyrics:
- Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
- Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
- Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
- Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
- If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

No, we’re not talking about “homework,” “responsibility” or anything else that implies you’ll have to make an enormous effort when you’d rather be doing something else. Instead, we’re talking about words that give you a feeling of real disgust. They’re perfectly ordinary, otherwise-innocuous-seeming words, but researchers have found when study participants are asked to rate words based on their gut-reaction, these words are consistently rated as being the most hated ones.
A Lot of People Hate the Word “Moist”
Paul Thibodeau, a psychology professor, authored a study based on the way 2,500 people reacted to words, and “moist” was generally considered to be downright nasty. It’s possible the reaction would have been different if he included it in a phrase like “moist chocolate cake,” but when viewed on its own, it was seen as being absolutely disgusting by 25 percent of the group.
Words using similar sounds didn’t get the thumbs down. People felt relatively neutral about “hoist,” for example. So, what’s the problem with “moist?”
Professor Thibodeau thinks it may be the association between “moist” and bodily functions. “Vomit” and “phlegm” were also rated as being among the most-hated, so he joined the dots and decided that words related to bodily fluids were the pits.
A Linguistics Professor and a Neurologist Blame Sounds
Professor Jason Riggle and Dr. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist, think that word aversion comes from the sounds themselves. Just as we feel odd after hearing a jarring sound in music, certain word-sounds are unpleasant to us. Dr. Eagleman has done his own experiments using made-up words and found that people didn’t like unusual sound combinations. So, if we think a word sounds funny, we’re more likely to associate it with something unpleasant.
Associations or Sounds: Who Is Right?
I’m going to sit on the fence with this one. Associations really can make a word disgusting. Take “vomit” for example. The very thought of vomiting is stomach-churning. The word itself is probably innocent enough, but the association is utterly gross!
At the same time, I can believe that sounds that don’t fit our ideas of harmony would also be jarring. Unlike Dr. Eagleman, I’ve never invented a truly disgusting word, and I wouldn’t know where to begin, but it makes sense in a way.
I’d say both reasons for being disgusted by words are valid. What do you think?
Is This Useful Knowledge?
Oddly enough, I think this knowledge could be useful, particularly in the marketing world. When we send out marketing messages, we need to be very careful in our word choices. We might even want to disgust our audience before offering them a calming, soothing message that explains how to solve a problem. Alternatively, we might want to avoid any negative associations whatsoever.
Still, just because of chocolate cake, I’m not altogether convinced about the gut-churning effects of the word “moist.” Couple it with cake, and suddenly, it sounds very, very yummy. Is it just me who thinks so? Of course, being covered with moist sweat sounds a whole lot less delicious, so I think we need to add context before we can talk about word aversion.
Made-up words are two-a-penny. Just look at company names and brand names, and you’re sure to find at least a few invented words. If we could know what sounds or combinations of sounds give people that “Eeeyew!” feeling of disgust, and which ones make them feel great, it could surely help companies with their branding strategies.
Is It OK to Hate Words?
I’ve read commentary about how silly it is to hate words, but whether it’s silly or not, it seems to be a real enough phenomenon. But to play devil’s advocate, we need negative words as much as we need positive ones. After all, if you want to describe something gross, having some unpleasant-sounding words or ones with less-than-charming associations, is mighty handy!
I use “vomit” quite often, “I went into the exam room, vomited out a whole lot of information, and scored an A!” The word “regurgitated” is interchangeable here, or you could use it to indicate your disgust, “He just regurgitated the same old information we always hear on that subject!”
Of course, some people react more strongly to word aversion than others do, and I put it down to sensitivity or possibly a very active imagination. Neither of these things is bad to have, although they might make your life a little more interesting than it needs to be.
What Words Do You Hate and Why?
First, a few ground-rules. We’ll just assume that anything obscene or scatological is gross, so those words are out of bounds. Some words are annoying, but that’s because of the way people use them and abuse them, so we’ll overlook them too. What we want, is a list of words that make you feel slightly queasy just looking at them.
Here’s my two cents’ worth:
- Blog. I don’t know why I hate it so much. I think it’s the sound of the word. And looking around the web, I see that others agree with me.
- Mucus. This seems to confirm the theory that bodily fluids disgust us. But somehow, even “snot” is better than “mucus,” so maybe it’s a combination of sound and association.
- Pustule. Yuk! I can’t think of a good thing to say about this word. Nothing about it is nice!
- Maggot. The word itself may not be to blame, but the associations are there!
To be honest, I don’t think there are any words that I hate in the truest sense of the word, but these would certainly top my list of the words I don’t like all that much.
