Circumcise.

Because when I was in 11th grade, I eagerly answered successfully attempt to circumcise the globe instead of circumnavigate the globe in response to what did Magellan do?

The man had many talents and the earth is still recovering from the procedure.

I totally agree, boyfriend just feels…awkward once you’re past around high school age. I have used it a few times to refer to my current guy, but it just doesn’t feel right. I tend to default to “my sweetie”, because I can’t think of anything better to use.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the P word, which I find so trashy and offensive and despise so much I can’t even type out. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

Meds! I hate that one. It bugs me every time I see it written somewhere.

Oops. On my post, I meant “woman” not “women”. I was typing too fast.

Words I can’t stand:

1. Cunt. It’s abrupt, rude, and crude. It never seems to be used in a nice context, but I admit it’s really funny when my gay guy friends use it as an affectionate insult to each other

2. UR and U. How are these even WORDS?? How hard is it to type “your” (or “you’re” ugh don’t even get me started) or “you” ???

3. LOL. Annoying idiots (esp on WoW) feel that if they spout their purile ramblings everyone will think they are witty if they tag an “LOL” at the end of every statement. “HAHA! I just wiped the raid because I put on Path of Frost as we fell through the floor to fight Anubarak LOL”. Yeah go die in a fire.

4. Twat. ASee #1. This word just is ick.

My favorite word? Dork. I use this all the time as a gentle insult in my family.. it still has connotations of geekiness so it’s almost a compliment.

I hate, hate, hate…

preggers
hubby
bubby/bubsy/bub

Honestly, they are way overused by the bogan population here in Australia, that they just scream trash to me.

Panties I think I’ve only ever used as an insult – ‘Don’t get your panties in a twist’. Knickers or jocks here.

However, I agree with Lara – Calliope is such a nice word! There is a town called Calliope in my state (way, way out west) – I’ve alwasy thought it would be nice to live there.

preggers.
prego.

To be honest I mostly hate those words because teen girls use them… describe themselves. I don’t judge anymore, but I truly do hate seeing teenagers pregnant. And if so, they should respect themselves more.

I call my significant other a boyfriend, because we are both young, so technically, he’s a boy, in a way. But to hear older people, like my mum, call her other a boyfriend? That is SO weird. I don’t know what you should call it, but definitely not a boyfriend.

slacks
gargle
vomit
puke
flaccid
vag
wart
pussy
Mostly gross, rude words.

Piss is such a rude word, I couldn’t even describe my hate of it. Using “pissed me off” is alright for me though.

Lover just seems a weird word to use.

I have friends that hate “that’s so ghey” and “my bad”. So of course I use those phrases as often as I possibly can.

Knickers always makes me think of the children’s story “Bad Jelly the Witch” when she says “Witchy-poo! Witchy-poo! Knickers! Knickers! Knickers!”. I think, just because it’s fun to read out in a children’s story.

I use “knickers” and “undies” as a kiwi. Panties is… unnatural and awkward, and just feels icky to say.
