    Ugh, I announced my least favorite word in the world to my husband earlier this week but now I can't remember it off hand. it's some word I've always hated. Frustrating!

    I'm not a fan of the word blouse either but wouldn't go so far as to say I hate it. I hate "situation" but just because my boss over uses it and incorrectly uses it all the time.

    Also, its organ (for Oregon) not Or-ee-gone

    That is completely dependent on if you're talking about a city or state.

    Its pronounced organ for the state of Oregon
    In Wisconsin, we pronounced Oreg-aah-n for the city Oregon, Wisconsin

    Moist - the use of that word in ANY context makes me shudder.

    My sister hates this word too. I hate poor grammar and when people completely butcher the English language when typing or talking. I don't expect perfection, but I expect legibility and the ability to follow basic rules. I ALSO HATE WHEN PEOPLE TYPE IN ALL CAPS.
    lol i type in all caps i used to do it so much on fb my friends would ask me why am i always yelling so i kind of calmed down on the caps lol

    Haha! That is exactly why I hate it! It makes it seem like you are yelling.

    Pretend words:
    IE: Supposably
    expesially
    and so on.

    I hate the C word.
    And most of all, I hate any kind of curse word.

    ^ THIS!!! I hate that word. And the C word as well, which is difficult as I work with 500 builders so I hear it umpteen times a day! I cringe every time :(

    CURVY when referring to overweight people. Rolls of fat are by no means curvy.

    Oh wow is this going to be kind of a long list lol...

    Improper use of Their, There, and They're.
    Improper use of Your and You're.
    Chat speak such as plz, sup, u, r, etc.
    Boi (spell words right, people!).
    Curvy (in reference to body shape).
    Fat
    Crazy
    Gay (when used out of context, such as this is so gay, when clearly you mean it's stupid).
    Spelling the word tomorrow as "tomarrow" drives me crazy!
    Dunno (not so much as using it, but as an answer to a question its annoying).
    Certificate (because I cannot pronounce it correctly...I always end up saying cer-tick-a-flate).
    ...I could probably go on, but I'm tired.

    So you wouldn't visit the beautician near me called "Moisteane"?
    Creeps me out every time I walk past!

    Other things that I hate are not so much words as phrases - I'm particularly annoyed by the frequent use of
    "where my xxxxx-ers at". Maybe it's incredibly in vogue where you live, but it doesn't work for me, just makes you look REALLY uneducated. And saying this probably makes me look REALLY old or uncool!

    It seems that the word "moist" wins. As a nurse, it's necessary to chart this word regularly along with other words that I imagine are not very popular either. :))
    One that bothers me is when someone uses "whenever" in a sentence such as "I used to ride horses whenever I lived in Texas".

    Bazinga!

    But...but....its the mighty Sheldon's word!!

    I hate babe/hun/dear, coolio, cool beans, "hmmmm....interesting" (the I.T manager at work constantly comes out with this and its a bit irritating), basically (again, another man at work who really over-uses this), bubba - I'm sure there is others, but I can't think of them at the moment :smile:

    "Twilight."

    It's odd, I never used to hate it but now I get the urge to kill people whenever it's said.

    What, bite their necks and stuff you mean? :noway:

    OH and I almost forgot the one I hate the MOST!!!!!

    I HATE it when people say "antisocial" instead of "unsociable". God, it makes me want to fling a dictionary at their head.
