What words can't you stand? I don't mean for their meaning or connotation, but their sound.

I don't like:
frothy
tidbit
refreshing
soothing
beverage
dweeb

Morosco, I don't like sneakers either. I always called them tennis shoes and when I moved north everyone calls them sneakers and laughs at me when I say tennis shoes. Same with "pop". I always said soda or just generically "coke", but up here everyone says "pop". I hate it.

Hoagie-It just sounds weird, although I will say that I just call them subs. :)

Stockard -- Where is "up here"? The northeast most definitely does not say pop.

Ugh, I agree, Stock. I hate 'pop.'

I grew up in Chicago and I always said pop. I agree, it sounds kind of goofy - but I think it is more ridiculous to call all sodas "coke" - coke is not a generic name, it is a trademark name.

Anyways

Oh wait...that's not a word.

piss - in any of its forms or connotations.

Boobs. Willy. I just really don't like childish slang terms for body parts, particularly the sexier ones. I don't mind especially crude ones for some reason, but if crudity isn't appropriate, then PLEASE just use the proper words!

smegma -- not a word that gets used much, mercifully.

Juicy, when used to describe anything that isn't edible.

Glad to see that I agree with some of you! I hate the word panties and I hate any form of piss. I also hate it when someone says I gotta go pee (I would rather hear I need to be excused or go to the restroom...- elegance is learned, my friends)

Oh yes, POP. If someone says they want a "pop", I'll smack them. Or if they want "jimmies" on their ice cream.

they are NOT jimmies! they are SPRINKLES!!!



My daughter hates the word "blouse". It makes her mad.

"pie" or "slice" when referring to pizza.

[Mister Matt]

tiddies
smear

abortion (when used for shock value as a ploy for attention)

Example: The Best Musical winner this season is an abortion!

Really? Of all the words from which to choose, why that one? Because you want to be the ultimate snarker. It impresses no one. Choosing an obscure use of a controversial word is designed to create controversy, no more. It's like the "fag"-is-a-bundle-of-sticks/cigarette defense. Just fess up that you're a sh*t-stirrer. Otherwise, don't expect anyone to take you seriously.

My grandmother used to refer to every sort of outfit as a "pantsuit." Earrings were "earbobs." And defecating was "making dirties."

This is a Pennsylvania thing. I'm not sure if it is just the Scranton area or all over, but they say they are getting trays of pizza when they order a pizza. To me, that is saying that you are getting a bunch of metal trays that have slices of pizza on them.
