What is one (or more) adjective(s) that you don't like being applied to yourself, even if it's in a complimentary way?

I don’t like the word “cute.” I didn’t like being called “cute” when I was a young woman. To me, “cute” = babies and baby animals. A “cute” woman, to me would be someone with big ole eyes and a little button nose and dimples when she grins, and one who giggles a lot. That was not me. Call me a fox, hot, beautiful, whatever, but not ‘cute!’

I posted one of my short “stories” about a portion of our camping trip this weekend. One person commented “Your (stories) are so cute!” I gave her a ‘like’ for it, though it isn’t the word I’d us.

But…maybe it means a different thing to others than it does to me.
