What are some normal words that you can't stand?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) June 27th, 2013

(I’m not talking about dirty words or racial slurs.) There are words, for some people, that remind them of something else, be it rational or not. Are there any words that you can’t stand, and for what reason?

I don’t like “dessicated.” For some reason, it makes me think of “decayed.” My mom keeps referring to dessicated coconut and it creeps me out.

I’ve also never liked the word “vagina.” I don’t know why, but when I say or hear the word, it sounds like something slimy and disgusting. <shudder>
