What are your annoying words?

Deleted User

I have a few that I don't like to hear or say for various reasons. Possibly because they're linked to people I no longer speak to, or I hear them in a funny accent that grates on me. Here's my list of the ones I can remember.

  • Brunch - especially if the person can't pwonounce their r's pwoperly.
  • Bric a brac - Similar reason above
  • Crockery - It's just annoying
  • Pamphlet - It's a leaflet!!!!
  • Napkins - or any other insipid cutesified word that finishes with 'kins'.
  • Ointment - Sorry CatWoman. You're the inspiration for this thread, although this one is only mildly annoying and it reminds me of Patsy Byrne in Blackadder 2. Rofl

I can't think of any others right now but I'm sure some of you will be able to trigger them. What are yours?

  • I just thought of another one. 

    Gooey!

    It gives me the creeps, and there's a reason. I once knew someone who had a bit of a crush on me and it wasn't reciprocated. I'm a queer man (bi/pan) but he really wasn't my type at all. His idea of connection was through entrapment and manipulation so I gave him a very wide berth when I found out.

    Anyway, apparently one time when I was driving around I'd accidentally cut him off by pulling out of a junction. I had no idea this had happened, but he messaged me shortly after to tell me about it, and that he'd initially felt anger, but when he realised it was me he'd "gone all gooey".

    Yuk! I felt like I needed a shower. face vomiting
