My lest favourite word is probably "cupboard". No idea why...it just irks me.

Celebrity - Whenever I hear that word it makes me wince.

The English language is beautiful; so many terms, colloquialisms and euphemisms for the same object. I deem it an insult to the language not to explore the furthest reaches of the language at every opportunity.

Too bloody true.

I despise the word "literally" when used to mean "metaphorically". However, if we're discussing words whose very sound offends us, then I have to nominate "chaps" "chums" and "buddies". Urgh.

What is the right word? Foo-foo?

I think you'll find that 'bajingo' is perfectly acceptable

And I agree with you, the C word is great!

Guesstimate - It's either a guess or an estimate, it cannot be both. :mad:

It makes me want to tear out the trachea of anyone who uses it.

Phonetically it is very abrupt and cutting. It is a very violent word to say. I particularly enjoy placing the emphasis on a very severe 't' at the end of the word.

What is the right word? Foo-foo?

I refuse to believe that anyone is so uptight, prudish and clinical that they actually use the word vagina in everyday conversation.

The English language is beautiful; so many terms, colloquialisms and euphemisms for the same object. I deem it an insult to the language not to explore the furthest reaches of the language at every opportunity.

lol Foo-Foo

No i don't expect people to use vagina in every day conversation if they want to use "C" then so be it , i just find it harsh , and vulgar and i personally wouldn't use this term.

Anewbe4u · 23 Jul 2007 at 10:47

I'm not a fan of the word Dank.

But is the word "posh" your least favourite word or is it posh people that annoy you?

Aod · 23 Jul 2007 at 13:53
