Are there words that you simply find abhorrent? What are they?

Asked by Jeruba (55836points) February 17th, 2023

This isn’t about profanity or socially repugnant labels or anything like that. It’s about ordinary vocabulary words that some people simply can’t stand.

Moist is a top favorite for loathsomeness; so is panties. Here’s an article about words that some people hate.

Among the words that I abhor, words that almost make me feel like gagging, are these:

polyp
cluster
bleb

I hate to even look at them. Are there any that get to you like that?

I’m trusting you not to think it’s funny to torment people with words they hate.
