What's your least favorite word?

[medicmummm]

I'll start off...

Claggy

Clergy- just sounds like a disease

What's yours?

What's wrong with breasts? And when and why did everyone start saying boobs? Hate that word.

ass/arse - people seem to use this a lot - coarse.

Panties

Just remembered I also can't bear the word 'teats'

Couscous, obviously.

Notion, lotion, but especially portion

Naice.

it’s not a word and makes me grind my teeth every time I read it on here

Bitch I can't stand it. Unless it's in the context of dog breeding.

Another vote for Belly. I hate it!

And 'bump' when referring to your unborn baby, 'happy Father's Day from me and the bump' 'how are you and bump' oh Christ it's so bloody twee I can't stand it

Came here to say that. I don't know why but it makes me gag a little bit

Soothe. I know what it means but I just hate it.

Panties

Labia. Couldn't they have given it a prettier name? 🤣

Agreed

Dregs

And when people talk about 'spends'

And 'pooling' money

"Pinky" for little finger. (Where's the green emoticon gone)

Also scum when referring to people.

Chunks

Also 'poorly' for feeling unwell. I can't bear it.

Cous means female anatomy in Arabic 😹

Supper .... and particularly fish supper.

I saw someone say "tummy button" earlier and it repulsed me for some reason. It sounds childish and twee.

Some of the words people hate here are great though! I personally love unctuous, belch and burp 😂

Gunge or mulch.

Couscous, obviously.

I find any word arrogant that feels the need to have a self-aggrandising reprise built in to its name - as if it's like New York, New York or something. You've said your piece and we get your point:

Cous
Bana
Cumber
Abracad
Brouha
Wagga

Numbers are allowed, as there is a noble descriptive purpose in repeating e.g. Eight hundred and eighty-eight.

Boutros Ghali squeaks a narrow let-off (so to speak) as his parents gave it to him, so can't blame him personally.

I hate the words 'clutch' and 'thrust'.

On the other hand, favourite word? 'Potato', every single time.
