...to think this is the ugliest word in the English language?

[DarceyBissell]

...gobsmacked.
I have heard even BBC types say it, politicians even.
Every time I hear it I want to puncture my own eardrums. Ugly, crass, lazy, crude.
Also hate nouns as verbs - mothballed, torched etc.
Think I am too sensitive for this world.
Any other words/phrases make you see red?

[PeanutPatty]

Panties

[SpecialAgentTattooedQueen]

Oh and seriously babymama/daddy/Preggo? YOU ARE OT TWELVE!!!

Not aimed at annoying Fb statuses..

[SpecialAgentTattooedQueen]

Sneer. Snide.

Am I the only lunatic who looks at words and instantly has an image of what it means?

I find some words are ugly to say and others are ugly to look at.

[PunkHedgehog]

Phthalate has to be a strong contender for ugliest word.

[DarceyBissell]

I got a memo from higher up at work about some info they were planning to 'cascade' down to staff.

[ChrisTheSheep]

Especially not the chip kind, Bacon!

[fluckered]

clammy
discharge
panties
moist ... used altogether is more horrific!

[Feminine]

belly.

and smelly.

[Quangle]

sebum

[Viviennemary]

I don't mind gobsmacked as it's so descriptive. IMHO. But I hate nouns used as verbs. DD once said she had georged some meat. What on earth!! I also hate a lot of shortforms. Piccie. Yuck.

[BaconandEggButty]

Prettykitty I thought this would be cunt too. But of course cunt is a fabulous word.

[BaconandEggButty]

Oi there's nothing wrong with butty!
'trendy' or 'on trend' on the other hand make me want to heave!

[Branleuse]

pregnant is a pretty hideous word itself, let alone preggers

[plannedshock]

My friend is preggers with her bubs and she goes on holibobs-makes me want to rip my own fucking ears off!!
Discharge
Eggy
Also when people say owt or nowt. Haven't got owt/ doing nowt.

[ChrisTheSheep]

I've never heard "holibobs" before, thank goodness, but it's now on my list along with "panties", "preggers", "bubs" and "potty" (for an adult-sized toilet, not the plastic toddler variety). As a northerner, though, I'm constitutionally incapable of being offended by butties.

This might be a two-nations-separated-by-a-common-language thing, but I also can't stand "burglarize": I mean, is the criminal in question supposed to be referred to as a burglarizer? Burglers go burgling, not burglarizing!

Hehe... love this thread... What about meal? There was a great thread like this a while back and somebody mentioned it; I was so glad to see I wasn't the only one hating it. Makes me feel nauseous; 'going for the healthy option' does sound so depressing, doesn't it... you can feel the gloom...

[50shadesofbrown]

"Drill down". Management speak rubbish. Used to have a manager who said this, made me want scream.

Also, "panties". Shudder.

[PrettyKitty1986]

So thought this would be Cunt.

[Joiningthegang]

Yuk also goes to
Panties
Kiddies

[Joiningthegang]

I like gobsmacked love gutted

Hate
Vagina
Moist
Gusset

Hate that thought showering is used instead if brainstorming
Hate "mat leave" just fucking say the word maternity

[ZadokTheBeast]

Boobs. Hate, hate, HATE the word. Makes me go all eeeeewwwwww.

[ChairmanWow]

Now let's try some word combinations:

Soiled, moist panty gusset.
Slimy snot rag.
Rancid cum-encrusted underpants.

To use another word I hate used in this context, enjoy!

[TeamJesse]

Anyhoo
