<p>I can't stand any of the following words:
-notion
-beauty
-tipsy
-pus
-somnambulate
-colicky
-forsake
-juke
-carny
-pone
-people (when used as a singular noun)
-anything with the prefix -supra
-eat (This one's hard to avoid, but I at least try to pick other synonyms, euphemisms if you will. I consider the consumption of food to be a, well, unappetizing topic.)</p>
<p>When people use the word “like.” Like when they use like too much, it’s like super annoying. I’m like, stop before I like, hit you in the face.</p>
<p>Moist. Just no.</p>
<p>Yeah, like is a word that people really overuse, and I can`t stand it. I literally overheard a conversation go like this one time: </p>
<p>Some random kid: “So, like I know, like, that like, you (she was talking to a teacher) said for homework we had to, like, write down 5 things, like…”</p>
<p>Really.</p>
<p>@retrohippo: I know other people who don’t like the word “moist” either.</p>
<p>It’s just an all-around uncomfortable word.
Also, cavalry. I don’t know it just doesn’t… eh. bleh.
Butch.</p>
<p>I have a guy friend that cringes at the word panties. It’s hilarious. </p>
<p>I don’t know any words of the top of my head that bother me…gotta do some thinking.</p>
<p>Sexy.
I never really liked that word much and I honestly have no idea why.</p>
<p>I have to agree with you on sexy. It doesn’t sound right to me. If I want to use that description, I use “hot”.</p>

Someone watches HIMYM.</p>
<p>Moist? I do watch HIMYM, but it’s just always been a pet-peeve. I know lots of other people who don’t like it either.</p>

<p>“Hubby” for husband. Just…ew.</p>
<p>Coddle. Don’t know why, but coddle.</p>
<p>Um, I think it’s stupid that a word for “common language” could sound as inflated and full of itself as “colloquial” does.</p>
<p>the word “like” as a filler. Like omg</p>
<p>Guilty of abusing “like.” XD Oh, well. I dislike “aggravate” and “converse.” They’re too commonly mistaken with “irritate” and “conversate”…which isn’t even a word. Which irritates me. Maybe “conversate” is just a thing at my school.</p>
<p>I hate the words “bless you!”</p>
<p>I’m not saying that it’s bad, it’s good. BUT NO ONE EVER says “bless you” to me! I sneeze pretty loud in class and no one says it! A person in my class does a momentary sneeze, a kind of sneeze that right when that person is going to sneeze out mucus, but it stops and creates a slightly deep, low sound (I hope you know what I mean), someone says bless you to that person!</p>
<p>Minority, the term “reverse racism”, dilapidated, meringue…</p>
<p>Swag (UGH UGH UGH) and Leggo (when people mean “let’s go” sometimes they will say that)</p>
<p>Oh, and YOLO. Dumbest phrase ever invented -.-</p>
<p>When people say not to offend or jk after saying something. It’s like no, you probably did mean it, behind ever sentence is a little bit of truth</p>
<p>I cringe at the word period, and all of my friends know it so they torture me haha.</p>
<p>And I don’t like the word awkward.</p>
