Have you ever considered that there are some words you dislike, that irritate you, but you don’t know why?
I never did.
In fact, I found it amusing to know that some people can’t bear to hear the words “moist” or “panties”… even when they aren’t used in the same sentence as “grab ’em by the pussy”. But lately it’s occurred to me that there are some very useful words that I’ve come to hate.
And I know why.
Here are just a few of them:
bellicose, braggart, bully, liar, delusional, two-faced, greedy, slanderer
Think about it. Are there any words YOU hate, that you’d like to share?
You don’t have to say why.
Great post–even for one who might not know the motivation.
I hate words like “twerking” and “mansplaining” and “brexit” — invented pop culture.
Onomatopoeia . . .any word that takes ten seconds to spell and can only be pronounced with a mouthful of cotton wool definitely has no place in the English language
