...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?

Ewwww! All I can think of is skidmarks

Has anyone mentioned 'snog'?

Awful. Awful. Awful.

Snog is a great word

No, No and No - 'Snog' is a horrible word.

As is 'Stink' when in the context of to 'stink (somewhere) out'.

'Flap' can be upsetting as well.

I love all of you. For the first time in my life I no longer feel alone. I can come right out and say, loud and proud, yes I too am a word Nazi and it has been two hours, three minutes and fourteen seconds since I last judges someone for saying 'in actual fact it's really unique'.

*judgEd bloody autocorrect. Makes one look ever so foolish when one is trying to be a word snob.

I hate "it's quite unique".

Flange and pupate give me the fear.

cluster

shudders

So many hates..so little time. Anyway, people who say ab-so-looot-ly all long and drawn-out.
People why can't finish a sentence without saying 'you know' after every third word. Worst offenders seem to be on Radio 4 interviews.

Just remembered keep your eyes peeled ..just gross

Anyhoo

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!

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

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

Yuk also goes to
Panties
Kiddies

So thought this would be Cunt.

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

Also, "panties". Shudder.

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...

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!

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.

pregnant is a pretty hideous word itself, let alone preggers

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

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

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.
