Words you hate

[Adam (birkin)]

My list, which is ever-growing, includes:

Hulled
Dollop
Problematic

[Jill F]

Utilize (esp. when you can just say "use")
Persons- An aggregate of mans, womans and childs?
Aggregate- or any other word with "greg" in it.  I HATED having to be a Greg.

[HoneyStrums]

Gender spacific variations of single words.

ie, Child is fine.

daughter and son?

sorry its just stuff like
Hes my son
and Shes my daughter

realy get my knickers in a knot.

Why do you need to refference a gender twice.
The same with

Parent/s

and mom and dad.

EDIT - Found a word

Autobiography - because biographys are hardly written automatically

[Jill F]

Any word intended as a perjorative.

[Kimberley Beauregard]

Utilize (esp. when you can just say "use")

I agree wholeheartedly with this.

"Jocular" annoys me for some reason.

[jussmoi4nao]

Moisture...uuuughn, cringe. Also, creamy. And delicious or even worse delish. Also, cuddle.

[Umiko]

overly cutesy words, like, and  you know. i have more just cant think of them cuz i'm tired lol

[Tysilio]

awesome
unique
prioritize (and biz-speak generally; cf. strategically implement. :barf:)

and all euphemisms.

That's just a start... 

[immortal gypsy]

Specifically
That word is just impossible for me to say. Actually any word where that has a sp in them.

[Jill F]

Prolly. 

Major pet peeve there.

[Colleen♡Callie]

Vajayjay and cray cray. 

[Arch]

Utilize (esp. when you can just say "use")
Persons- An aggregate of mans, womans and childs?

I agree with "utilize," but why rag on "persons"? It was perfectly correct for centuries and still has its uses even though it has been supplanted in most cases by "people."

I have always hated the word "luggage."

[Ms Grace]

I don't know about words I hate. But I do love the word "poop".










Poop!!!!!

[Jenny07]

When people say Yes no when talking.

[Arch]

Derail.

Ms Grace, you seem to grow more gorgeous by the week.

[Jill F]

Smegma

Thanks Arch

But do you hate word itself or what it describes? The word is rather inventive, in that it quite nicely elicits the yuckiness of what it refers to.

It just grosses me out and makes me cringe every time.  It's an ugly word too.

I've grown to hate words that my students (and others) routinely misuse. For example, "apart." As in "Now that I am apart of this neighborhood, I look forward to the next block party." Um, no. I'm always tempted to say, "Don't you mean 'apart from'?"

"Anywho" just drives me up a wall. First of all, I hate it. Second, if you're going to write it, at least spell it "anyhoo."
