Word(s) I just don't like.

One word I really don't like hearing is "exactly." Try and figure that one out, eh eh?

I have always disliked 'moist'.

ooo! I like "moist." For many reasons.

"Cost" is the word I hate. It goes back to my Algebra I class these many decades ago, when every single frickin' problem we did involved discovering the final price for something. I heard the word "cost" at least 50 times a day, 5 days a week, for 9 months. Try that, see if you still like the word when you're done.

Also, I resent the word "Antidisestablishmentarianism," which seems to be present merely to be a long word that pretends to be a non-imaginary one. For that reason, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" has much more integrity to it.

'Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.'  Spelling word in the fifth grade.  Look it up.

Words I Dislike:

"Spork"
"Trust me."
"Yummy"
"Rinoplasty"
"Suckle"
"Girth"
"Oy vey"
"Tchachke"
"I see"
"Nutricious"

I don't know why for most of 'em; I just really don't like those words.

Yeah, I know that word. You'll note that I didn't say "longest" word. "'Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" is less obnoxious than "Antidisestablishmentarianism," but not by much.

Wow, I'm really learning what kind of freaks I'm hanging out with. "Spork" bothers you? Can I assume you don't read the Spork Digest when it begs your trust on yummy, nutricious dishes  that won't add to your girth?

I hate any Trite, patronising baby talk words, such as "Yummy" "Mummy" or anything else that adds a "Y" on the end for no reason. I also despise people using words that aren't really words, unless they're being witty. Finally, and most importantly, I can't stand any Bull words used in advertising or propaganda,none of which I can think of at the moment. Oh, and thanks to an ad on TV right now, my number one hated word is "Mouthpaste."

Well I see no one is guessing why I hate the word exactly. You see, whenever someones says it I hear my name. Zak. Exzakly. I always turn to wherever I heard the word being uttered then realize they meant exactly. And it annoy's me.

I'll be sure to pronounce the T from now on.   :)

I don't like "pithy," because to me it sound the exact opposite of what it means.  

I also don't like "sesquicentennial."  
I don't like "occasion" because after all these years I still have a hard time spelling it.
And the Latin word "laude," because I keep hearing college professors pronounce it differently (lod, loddy, loudy.)

Having recently worked for a skin care/pharmaceutical company, my top hated words right now are "wellness" and the prefix "multi-".

I get you, Gemm. For the very same reason, I hate the "Jason" in "adjacent". Triginomatry lessons get old very fast - especially since I'm paranoid and thik everybody's always talking about me anyway.

My name is Dan, and there were several occasions when we were kids that Mustard would call to me across the room and people would think he was swearing.
