To hate the words........

[Mowiol]

Slacks
prepared
oleaginous
greasy
menstrual

I just have words I hate - On the other hand I love under-used words such as:

Lollygagging,
Whippersnapper
Cad/bounder
Irksome
Indubitable
pipsqueak

what do others think?

i LOVE the word "slacks"

No....... slacks is my alltime least favourite!!!. No sterryerryoh....are you mad??

Prepared? Really??

Luscious - vile word, all slobbery and squelchy...bleurgh.

hate:
beaver
fanny (sensing a theme here?)
the phrase 'way shape form or fashion' makes me maaaad

like:
obstropulous/obstreperous
dingbat
pilchard
I also love anything my DD says - she's 3.2, and has brilliant language but finds the speech sounds difficult so she says things like 'weewool' for little etc. so cute :o

I think it just reminds me of my granddad, Mowiol haha

sorry for being ignorant but what is the 3rd one,how do you pronounce it and what does it mean?

Love:
Avuncular
Hirsute
Squelchy
Hate:
Blob
Brangelina
Plop

Don't know why.

I like ?curious? and am a fan of the word queer as in ?how queer? - I think that should make a comeback

Ooh - love luscious, totally forgot that one!!
Don't really know why "slacks" gets up my nose but I just think it's a horrible word!!

ocharina

Love egregious!

Luscious is like an unwanted grope. Feel all dorty afterwards.

Oleaginous - "oily" would be best definition!! Possibly with reference to a dirty old man.

I hate the word ramekin, god knows why but I do.

I hate the word 'gobsmacked' but it is so descriptive and conjures up such an image.

I. Am. Gobsmacked.

And I hate 'made' up words like, 'catched' instead of caught and 'buyed' instead of bought.

eugh it is definitely a horrible word in that case. yuck, i feel creepy just knowing it now

Ramekin.....hmmmm....see your point CoinOperatedGirl.....but like you I don;t know why??? Odd isn't it? For me words just conjure up good/bad images and I have absolutely no idea why!!??

Because your brain hears:

Ram a kin, grease up and just ram a kin.

Eugh...

Hate: Guesstimate, quiver, segment, gusset

Love: Twonk, discombobulate, twerp

eeuww Nemofish.... fairly sure my subconscious mind was NOT hearing that. But what-the-hay I just don't like the word. Peculiar eh?

I don't like armpit.

I like:

Roof-rack
Gravy boat
Squelchy

I dislike:

Penis
Dyke

I love the word serendipity. Not sure there's any I particularly hate.

If you don't like "armpit" use the Scots word "oxter" instead. Or Axilla which is anatomically correct!!
