Word for things you hate

Doesn’t have to be one word, could be a short phrase or quotes by famous people. Mine is ‘hideous’ followed by ‘vulgar’. What are some of your favorites?

level 1

A guilty pleasure is what you’re describing.

It doesn’t have to be a secret.

level 2

OP’s example is a little vague but isn’t a guilty pleasure something you dislike (or more so pretend to) because others do?

A really catchy but annoying pop song could be something you literally don’t want to listen to, even alone, but you are forced to because it’s been on your mind so much.

level 1

One might consider this a «vice.» Vices are things like smoking, drinking, eating fast food, etc. Although, it depends on the context because «vice» literally means an evil or wicked behavior. You’re essentially acknowledging that it’s a bad habit, but you’re aware of that and you’re doing it. «Smoking is one of my many vices.»

You could describe our relationship with words as love-hate. They often make us swoon, but sometimes, they make us cringe. It’s not always their fault, though. Word aversion, the phenomenon that makes us physically sick upon hearing things like «yolk» and «slurp,» is a visceral reaction. According to Language Log, it’s «…bred of the mysterious relationships between language, emotion, memory, sound and ‘mouthfeel.’»

Still, there are some words we literally can’t make excuses for, due to their queasy sounds or an unforgivable shift in their meanings.

1. Literally

Linguistic prescriptivists beware: This may give you a literal headache. A non-literal definition of «literally» has been deemed acceptable by Google. It can now be used as an emphasizer, as in, «Miley’s VMA performance literally shocked me.»

2. Moist

This word ranks among hoist and cloister as one of the most phonetically displeasing components of the English language. Plus, according to Slate, «It’s squishy-seeming, and, to some, specifically evocative of genital regions and undergarments.» That sounds about right. It doesn’t help that there are few poignant synonyms for this word (unless you like to eat damp cake), so it’ll likely be around for a while.

3. Panties

We’ve called it «the worst word ever,» writing, «I think for me (and some other women) who find it hard to hear the word panties, particularly from men, it has to do with a notion that these men are somehow (unintentionally) sexualizing little girls.» This has been contested, of course. Actress Christina Hendricks has said, «Panties is a wonderful word. When did you stop saying panties? It’s sexy. It’s girlie. It’s naughty. Say it more.»

4. Foodie

Foodie is defined as «a person with a particular interest in food.» Last time we checked, most people have a particular interest in food. What’s next, breathie? Foodie is even worse than its predecessor, gourmet, which refers to «a connoisseur of good food; a person with a discerning palate.» While gourmet may sound snootier, at least it’s a little more nuanced.

5. Alright

This should absolutely not be a word, but it is. It’s a weird, doublespeaky abridgment of all right, a phrase that actually makes sense. We’re all for inventing new words (see: doublespeaky), but this one lacks imagination, and looks like a typo.

6. Curate

You probably hate this word simply because it’s everywhere. We’re not just talking about museums; Nowadays, people curate Twitter feeds, Etsy shops and second-hand clothing stores. Ben Yagoda, a language columnist at The Chronicle of Higher Education, argues that it’s a necessary word for the information age, and we agree. With so much stuff floating around, experts with good judgement are a reliable means of sorting through the muck. Still, if everyone fancies themselves curators, that brings us back to square one.

7. Zeitgeist

When best-selling novelist Kurt Anderson worked at New York Magazine, he drafted a list of «Words We Don’t Use,» rounding it out with zeitgeist. It’s a German word meaning «spirit of the time,» and is often attributed to Hegel, who poetically remarked, «no man can surpass his own time, for the spirit of his time is also his own spirit.» We think it’s overused, and almost always disrupts the flow of a sentence or conversation. It’s clunky, it’s not intuitive, and its once thoughtful meaning is now vague dinner party fodder.

8. Impactful

This word hasn’t made it into standard dictionaries just yet, but Chronicle of Higher Education blogger Anne Curzan thinks it’s well on its way (it makes regular appearances in The New York Times). We don’t mind that it’s not a bona fide word (yet!), but we do find it to be irritating business jargon. Plus, describing everything from a politician’s haircut to a sartup’s 4q earnings as «impactful» blunts the force of the word impact (synonyms: collision, crash, smash, transform, touch, shape).

9. Paradigm

Another jargonized word, this once-interesting syntactic concept has now become a canned way of saying, «You’ve gotta change your perspective, man.»

Which words do you hate? Let us know in the comments.

Ненавижу в тебе всё

You’ve got everybody fooled, I got you figured out

Ты всех одурачила, я тебя понял

Now you’re choking on your words, well, you should spit it out

Теперь ты задыхаешься от своих слов, ты должна их выплюнуть

Know that I gave you the world and you just gave me hell

And you gave me hell

Ты устроила мне ад

But you chose up on a bum-star

Но ты выбрала бомж-звезду

Bootleg version of me, that’s your loss

Бутлегерскую версию меня, и это твоя потеря

Had to find out through a photo

Пришлось узнавать по фото

Hangin’ on your arm like a knockoff

Висит на твоей руке, как подделка

Stab me in the back like nothing

Бьёшь меня в спину, как ничтожество

Never even saw this comin’

Я никогда даже не видел всего этого

I watched you making it public

Я наблюдал, как ты всё предала огласке

You won’t break me again and say it’s all in my head

Ты больше не сломаешь меня и не скажешь, что это всё мои выдумки

Holdin’ his hand in that dress from the night that you left

Держишь его за руку в том платье с той ночи, когда ты ушла

I’m so sick of the pain, I’ll never see you the same

Меня так тошнит от боли, я никогда не увижу тебя прежней

Guess that’s the price that you pay for the mess that you made

Думаю, это цена, которую ты платишь за тот хаос, что ты создала

You’re a showstopper (Let’s go)

Ты шоустопер (Поехали)

A bad liar, homie-hopper, drama-starter

Плохой лжец, переходящая тёлочка, начинающая драмы

All my friends are f**ked, we all got you in common (Okay)

Всех моих друзей поимела, ты была общей для нас (Окей)

You’re so fake and everyone should know about it

Ты такая фальшивая, и все должны об этом знать

This is incredibly specific. But let’s say you’re an entry level employee at an office. Maybe you work in the mailroom, but really aspire to be promoted to Technician. You dream about the day that you will become a technician and finally get out of the mailroom.

One by one, all your mailroom friends become technicians, but you keep getting overlooked. And slowly, you begin to hate/resent not only them, but the role of technician. You decide that you no longer want to be a technician; that all technicians are morons.

It’s like a hybrid of covetousness and resentment and jealousy. Is there a word for that?

Sample sentence: «I used to want to be a technician, but now I __________ that job.»

To refer to resentment felt in the past, you may use rancor (US) or rancour (UK).

Definition: an angry feeling of hatred or dislike for someone who has
treated you unfairly; Bitterness or resentfulness, especially when
long standing.

This is usually used to describe rejecting another person but you could say «I used to want to be a technician, but now I «spurn» that job.»

Spurn (from MWO):

: to refuse to accept (someone or something that you do not think deserves your respect, attention, affection, etc.)

«Reject», synonymous with «spurn» would also fit in that context.

literally

This is literally the first word that comes to mind for many people, when asked what word or usage is most vexatious. The bothersome sense is the one we define as “in effect; virtually —used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible.”

We do not offer this definition as a practical joke, or because we want to hurt you; we are trying to provide an accurate record of the English language, as it is used. If you wish to read more about this you may do so here.

What is the point of words having meanings if they can mean literally the opposite of what they are defined to mean? People who use the word litterally to mean not literally aren’t using an alternative meaning, they’re using the word incorrectly. MW seems intent on ensuring that no matter how wrong you are you’re still right.

Words ending in —ize have been acting as a linguistic itching powder for a very long time. We appear to be selective in our disapproval; materialize and summarize bother no one, while finalize and incentivize cause considerable anger.

Like is an intergenerational usage peeve; your parents (or grandparents) can bemoan its use as a conjunction, and the younger set can howl about its use as an approximative adverb, or as a quotative compartmentalizer.

Enormity has been used to mean “so, so big” (not a technical definition) ever since that bounder Thomas Elyot used it thusly in a translation of Plutarch, back in 1532. Almost 500 years of continuous use has not quelled the ire of those who object to the word meaning anything but “an outrageous, improper, vicious, or immoral act.” This matter ignites such passion that it seems likely that we will still be hearing about it 500 years hence. If you would like to learn more about this enormity you may do so here.

Just because you can quote a few famous authors who also misuse this word does not excuse the enormity of legitimising its use as a synonym for magnitude.

unique

Once upon a time usage books were quite a bit stricter about which adjectives were gradable and could be modified (such as fine, finer, and finest) and which were not (such as dead). A writer in the early 19th century had a list of almost 100 words which he claimed would “admit of no variation of state.” Most of us feel fine grading our adjectives, but there are still a few which are widely viewed as absolute; among these is unique. If you would like to read about whether something can be very unique (or uniquest) you may do so here.

A school, of all things, described itself as very unique. An old-fashioned type, I do not hold with unique as un usual or rare. Definition 1, the only one of its kind, does not admit of qualifiers.

i am a bored and uninterested cat do you have something to say to me too bad i do not care

Uninterested and disinterested have a degree of semantic overlap that causes anguish to some people, who would prefer that each of these words pick a lane and stay in it. English can be a bit messy sometimes, as evidenced by the fact that disinterested is used both to mean “unbiased” and “not interested” (or “uninterested”). If you would like to learn more about why these words are so often confused you may do so here.

This is WRONG! Disinterested means being objective and not having a personal stake in the outcome of something. A judge or juror must be disinterested or he must recuse himself. Likewise an umpire or referee at a sports event. The person who made this def up probably spells «a lot» as «alot» and calls a coupon a «keeyoupon.» It is sad when a good word in the language gets perverted in a dictionary just because so many people misuse it.

fewer

The traditional view is that less applies to matters of degree, value, or amount and modifies collective nouns, mass nouns, or nouns denoting an abstract whole while fewer applies to matters of number and modifies plural nouns. The apple-cart of traditional view is often upset by people who insist on using the language as they see fit. You may read more about this distinction here.

Let’s go ahead and remove «fewer» from the dictionary, because it is no longer commonly used. The word «less» has replaced it everywhere, so why bother keeping it in the dictionary. «Less» is misused in everyday conversations — verbal and digital, grocery store checkout lines, my beloved NPR, my company’s training materials, executive VP company-wide messages, and on and on.

What is going on here? Decimate always meant to reduce something by one tenth. I would prove that point to others using M-W. The definition is now changed to match the incorrect common usage?

We offer three senses of the adverb anyways: “anyhow,” “anywise,” and “to any degree at all.” All three have some usage label (informal, archaic, or dialect). If this is insufficient explanation for why we have chosen to define this word you may find a fuller reasoning here.

Back-formations (“a word formed by subtraction of a real or supposed affix from an already existing longer word”) are another class of word, like those ending in -ize, that are broadly despised. And much like the —ize words we are selective in our disapproval; [homesick]/dictionary/homesick) (from homesickness) and escalate (from escalator) get a pass, while surveil (from surveillance) and commentate (from commentator) attract opprobrium. If you would like to learn more about back-formations you may do so here.
