Ordinary Words That We Hate ... And Why?

[joggerjayne]

Are there any quite ordinary words that you really can't stand?

And why?

I hate the word "cruet".

It's so, sort of ... seaside landlady.

[MarkRae]

Nice - so lazy.

[Cowtipper]

Restaurant. Spell checker saves me once again.

[ChuckFickens]

Discharge.

[Ankou]

moist

[fliptheswitch]

Clunge.

I absolutely HATE it.

[cupid04]

End of!

[ChuckFickens]

It's even worse when both ours are used together, ankou!

[joggerjayne]

"clunge" is a word ??

=0o

[237SJ]

Gusset

[cupid04]

Are we allowed rude bits of the anatomy before the watershed, fliptheswitch?

[fliptheswitch]

Yes, it's a word.

As in, "I smashed that girls clunge good and proper."

(Taken from the Urban Dictionary, not a line I use myself... obviously)

[fliptheswitch]

I've no idea, Cupid. It's the only word that annoys me, though.

237sJ, you have been watching repeats of coupling!
Lesbian spanking inferno!

[joko]

nice is ok to decribe a cake or something, but when people use it about works of art, music or literature or any amazing things in general it is indeed lazy.

it has got a certain slang usage now...sort of like people saying 'wicked to mean good etc.. its said in a kind of ...niiiiiccccceee...with a wide eyed nod... haha ...

but thats very different from "ooh now thats a rather nice view, called 'the pyramids', you say?"

[Prudie]

Panties (shudder)

[craft1948]

Whatever................

[naomi24]

I've never heard of 'clunge', but I've looked it up and - gosh - you learn something new every day!

Hubby - yuk.

[237SJ]

cupid - what? I don`t know what that is but I never watched it first time, let alone the repeat :-)
