The Worst Word Ever

You know what word I can't stand hearing? "Panties."

The word "panties" earns my vote for "worst word of all time." But there are plenty of people who find it perfectly acceptable.

And the most baffling thing: I can't fully explain why I dislike it so much. What did the word "panties" ever do to me?

I'm certainly not alone in my distaste at the word "panties." A woman on a parenting blog notes that "the only thing worse than the word 'panties' is an old man using the word 'panties.'"
