After «moist,» of course.
There are TONS of words in the English language.
Some of them are great, like «balderdash.»
Or «hullabaloo.»
But there are some that are just…horrendous. Like «phlegm.»
Or «pustule.»
So — if you were master of the English language and could get rid of one word, what would it be?
Choose wisely.

OK so I saw a poll for your favourite word and it spurred me on to ask this question. Only because I severely detest the word «Batch». Ugh. I don’t know if «Blatch» is a word but that’s even worse. So what’s your least favourite word?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

I HATE THE WORD «PANTIES»!! OMG! No, for real. I hate the word panties. It seems so dirty. My uncle was with his daughter who was 3 at the time and was like «did you remember to put your panties on?» and he said it normally as if he was talking about shoes. It disgusted me. And she says it too and I find it soooo disturbing.
I also don’t like «pussy», «dick», or «rod». For the same reason. Weirdly enough I’m okay with «cock» XD

I first heard the word CACOPHONY not too long ago and immediatly hated it with passion. I just looked it up and it means ; a harsh mixture of sounds. So i guess it makes sense that it would be a ugly word.
Also, there used to be a porn producer a while ago that used to always say FUCK HOLE to the actresses and it really ticked me off.Comment Hidden (

I don’t know what my least favourite word is but I can tell you two of my most favourite. Two little words my mother said to me earlier this afternoon and which woke me what I only now realise has been a nightmare. She relayed these two little words from the mouth of an oncologist who doesn’t get to say them often enough.
All. Clear.
Although it made me cry and still is making me cry, I hope anyone waiting for these two little words, either now or in the future, gets to hear them too. I feel very lucky today.

Not me. My mum. This is the first day in a while I can say that my mother doesn’t have cancer any more. Some people, both on IIN and off it, have tried to monopolise and make me feel even worse. If that’s the kind of thing that makes them feel good, I pity them. But I still hope they find some way to be happier than they are. And I hope others get to hear news as overwhelming (but ultimately positive) as I’ve just received. It’s a dreadful illness and it’s taken some important people in my life but we’re starting to get the measure of it.

ah well it would of been bad either way, but watching it happen to someone you care about is the worst
You shouldn’t feel bad, its not something that’s in your control. Most important thing with this kind of stuff is a positve attitude, sometimes mentality can make so much of a difference O__O
bleugh, this advice is coming a weee bit too late since you probably don’t need it anymore ah vellComment Hidden (

For me, its woof instead of wolf. Drives me absolutely out of mind crazy. But my most hated word is broad. My mom used to call me that when she thought she was being tough, and threatening. Ohh I’m so scared.

My dad seems to purposely mispronounce words. And put accent on the wrong sylables.
He says BATT-rees (batteries), DEEEE-troit (Detroit), ambyooLANCE, rucks (rocks). He calls the remote control the TEEE VEEEE handle.
There’s so many more….He’s strange.
I think wrasslin’ is actually a real word.

Lol @ TEEE VEEEE handle. I haven’t heard that one before! I like the way it makes it sound like a mechanical device
Comment Hidden (

He picked up a bunch of that shit from being a truck driver. So like the handle is like slang for CB radio or something, so somehow it comes from that….as far as I know. I’ve never heard anyone say it besides him though so maybe he made it up himself.

What is your least favorite English word?

Personally I’m not sure if I have a least favourite word, but one of my former colleagues hated the words «moist» and «quiche», even more so when said together. Not sure why though, since a dry quiche doesn’t sound very appetising.

Forum>What is your least favorite English word?
Though this is in the INFP forum, the question applies to everyone, and it’s quite simple:
What is your favorite word in the English language?
Also:
What is your least favorite word?
My favorite word is callipygean.
It’s a lovely word that rolls off the tongue, describing the loveliest thing I can think of.
My least favorite word is creepy.
The reason I hate the word creepy is because it has been the most commonly predicated word people have used to describe me. I can think of at least ten different people who called me this on separate occasions, and a few others who probably said it. In none of those occasions was I actually trying to creep anyone out.

Least fav — «chick» is my trigger word. If someone (male or female) uses the word chick to describe women, I start burning down villages.
Most fav word? Wonder or enchantment. I have a million of them — hard to pick.
Reactions:
1
My favorite word is «Argon». I’ve allways liked the sound of it…
My least favorite word has to be yolo (if it is concidered one -.-), no explanation needed.
Reactions:

My favorite word has to be «weird»….Many people seem to misunderstand the term.
My least favorite word…..hmm….maybe «Normal»?
Favourite: Nuzzle. Because it’s the cutest word ever said ever by anyone ever.
Unfavourite: Eh, it’s two words. The phrase ‘real world’. I hate your real world!
Although ‘moist’ is an awful word as well. Just, ugh.
Favorite words: Melancholia, Nostalgia and Wistfulness

Favourite word, not sure, but I definitely know my two least favourite words when strung together. «Parental Sex». Eeeeeeecccck.
I don’t know if I have one favorite, but some of my favorites are whisper, inextricably, and murmur.
Least favorite: cackle. (it just sounds creepy)
I’m not sure I have a favorite word. I know my least favorite though is «Disappointed.» I hate that word with a burning passion. Never can another word make me feel so awful.
Some pretty awesome words:
yoink, simulacra, interstice, exigent, exsect, corona, brackish
Some least favorite words:
yolo, fly (as a word for cool or fine), swag, fornicate, werd
Favorite words: Melancholia, Nostalgia and Wistfulness
@Nostalgic, I think he wants to have a threesome with us. :laughing:

I’m so disappointed you feel that way.
For some reason I always think of Marge Simpson when I hear the word ‘disappointed’.

Is the »Monsieur» a random french word you like or do you also speak french?

The ‘Monsieur’ part is twofold. It’s fitting because I’m Canadian where we are known for our French population. And secondly, it’s kind of an homage to all the French poets I like.
