    "natch"

    i've never heard a single person use that word out loud in day to day use, and the only types i've ever heard use it online are failed writers/low traffic wordpress bloggers

    What’s wrong with it? I don’t mean as something to call a person, but as a body part isn’t it just the, uh, counterpart to rooster?

    Yes that's annoying! My mom pronounces it Tor-til-ee-a which is even worse.
    She also has a very odd pronunciation for latte. It's like "lah-TAY" with a very loud & harsh ending.

    I’m pretty comfortable with all the words but one time I had this really weird ten minutes where I couldn’t believe that “o’clock” was a real word

    If you sit and think really hard about any particular word, it always starts feeling that way. :D

    that is so true. i had to write the word 'trash' on each of about 30 boxes and by the end i was convinced i made the word up.

    Ever spell and word and it just doesn't look right?? So then you try a couple more times but it comes out the same way each time, looking like gibberish.
    It's not until you eventually turn to google to find out wtf is going on only to find out it was right all along.
    It's like some weird brain glitch.

    B*tch.

    Back in my day, this was a fighting word! Now, people use it as a term of endearment!

    FYI, it’s still a fighting word in my book!

    Groceries. It’s just an annoying word no matter how you pronounce it.

    Especially when my MIL does. She says “GORshrees”

    "sportsball"

    usually used by someone who wants to cleverly (they think) insult someone else who enjoys watching football.

    like they don't have something of their own that's equally unimportant that they enjoy in their own private time.

    I think of it as insulting myself for being unable to understand.
