Words You Hate - Logomisia

[RowanB]

I'm sure we're all familiar with the fact that there are some words that people just HATE hearing, saying, reading or being around. ("Moist" seems to be a popular one....)

Logomisia is that hatred of a word but not necessarily it's meaning or the thing it refers to. One might hate the word "teaspoon", but have no issue with actual teaspoons.

Curious to hear what your "trigger words" are!

My top three offenders are:
1 - Nipple (makes my fucking skin crawl)
2 - Ooze
3 - dribble (as in liquid)

Verve. Makes my teeth vibrate and just sounds weird.

Irregardless. A double negative. Usually spoken by people trying to sound erudite and intelligent. The word is regardless.

What if u want to lick a stud's armpit then, do u say, can i kiss your axilla? lol

 

[RowanB]

LOL! That does sound like the weird sort of thing I'd do...

I won't be liking those bits and when I absolutely have to refer to them, I refer to the "underarms". Even that bothers me

They used to refer to them as armholes, which somehow sounds worse.

No doubt I'll be accused of just being an old fart, but whenever I hear someone (usually under 40 Y.O.) use the slang "Rando" to refer to an ordinary person. I mean does including one more letter make it that long a word that you just can't say the whole thing?

The language is becoming progressively more truncated. I suspect eventually English will consist of pictograms and rebuses, like a modern form of hieroglyphics.

I actually predict SMS will become the universal language for future generations, even in everyday conversation.

Well, probably the next step after that will be monosyllabic grunts and belly bumps. We'll come full circle linguistically!

I actually like this word because it sounds about as gross as it actually is, very precise.

This made me think of your post.

Penis. I cannot STAND this word. I mean, could you deliberately pick a word that sounded smaller than this? It sounds like the tiniest thing you could imagine, hardly accurate for guys on here!

Well, what are you more comfortable with when visiting a doctor? Would you rather describe your 'x' as a penis or would just say cock/dick to the doc?

I like clinical names for things. The word 'asshole' when referring to the anus just makes me want to die inside.

Talking to a doctor would be one of the rare times I would use the clinical term. While I respect you using clinical terms if you prefer them with the general public, I would die laughing if a guy asked me to lick his anus. lol
