I have found it very difficult to contribute to Nurse Duckett's word thread, because on the whole I like them all. Words, that is.
But there are a few that give me the shivers.....
My first least fave word is:
Moist

I had a girl-friend who hated the words 'luscious', 'delicious' and 'juice'...
It's amazing how often one can work those into a conversation!

I hate the word 'tasty'.
I also get upset when people - especially on radio and TV - say 'less' when they mean 'fewer'.
Grrr!

Crispy Ambulance were an eighties rock group, immortalised in Half Man, Half Biscuit’s Running Order Squabble Fest:
“You’re going on after Crispy Ambulance”

Alright, here's one several... Any poor, defenseless word that has taken on a new 'slang' meaning with a nasty connotation. Usually, the way you learn of these words is by innocently using it in normal conversation and having people laugh at you. And there's always a new one...  What has happened to our language? I mean, I used to like p*ssycats. |
