What's your least favorite word?

Today? “Excessories.”

Moist. I haven’t always disliked it. But then a friend once said how she hates that word and I saw her point!

@kritiper, I am not familiar with “excessories”.
Unless it’s an outstanding word play on “accessories”? In which case, bravo, sir, beautifully done! :-D

Cancer

Selfie

Kiddo.

It’s everywhere lately. “Introduce your kiddo.” “My kiddo loves to swim.” “Our kiddos are so cute.”

Ugh

@jonsblond

Makes me think of the word “hubby”. Ugh.

Purpose. Don’t know how to spell it.

Arugula.

@rockfan I agree. I don’t like that one either.

As much as I love snow the word snowflake has become annoying as well.

Smegma

Schizophrenia. Too hard to spell.

Fart.

There’s more of them, usually buzzwords like “patriarchy”, “yolo”, “opression”, “depressive”, “anxiety”, “literally” and “Trump”.

@canidmajor I cannot take credit. I heard some woman on the news use the “word.” (Some people can really slaughter the language.) She used it to mean excesses.
Later the same night I heard another woman call a road median a medium.
ARG!
I have a neighbor like that. One day I was talking to him about shooting trap and skeet when he informed me that it was all the same. And then he started calling the clay pigeons “skeets.”

Literally.

The way it is ambiguously used these days.

As in, “My arm was literally broken!”

As opposed to…?

I have a lot of them. Fuck and fart came to mind immediately.

@josie Yes, I cringe too.

“Axed” as in, “I axed her for a date.” Well? It’s a word, is it not?

“Axed,” as in referring to a chopping blade is a word. “Asked,” is also a word, but they are not the same word.

For me, it’s a three-way tie….

flabbergasted…....snippet, and…..(let’s see…...oh, yeah….).....duodenum…..

Phlegm.
