Can’t Stand It!

OK, so we’ve all got a lot of favorite words.

Sometimes, it’s a word that just makes us smile when we say it—We’ve got to skedaddleDefinition: Flee, run away if we’re going to catch the 8:15 bus.

Or a word that just sounds cool when it rolls off the tongue—I almost stepped in a loblollyDefinition: Mudhole on the way home today.

But what about those words we don’t like?

Are there any words that you consider absolutely loathsome?

It could be a word that just gives you a queasy feeling when it’s said—Last night’s dinner made me want to regurgitateDefinition: to throw or surge back (as in undigested food).

Or a word that makes you want to hold your nose–That smell is really noxiousDefinition: Disgusting, unpleasant, harmful.

So tell us, esteemed cool-word watcher, what word do you most dislike?
