Guano is a little too specific for general use.  Isn't it exclusively bat p**p?  You couldn't say, "honey, change the baby - he guanoed again."

You'd just sound stupid.

Unless you were referring to the Bat Boy.

And on that note, the current issue of the Weekly World News is worth picking up, as the back cover is a cut-out Batboy mask. Very cool. You don't need anything else. It will be the cheapest halloween costume since you went as the person you love most: Yourself.

Whenever they decide to make a bat boy feature film, it will become an instant cult classic.

Back to disliked words (or should I say 'by route of disliked words):  One word I really do like:  Thwart.

thwart is a VERY cool word

And kije, my friend did a short lived (2 week) comic called mouse wax, where half the plot (one week) was about the bat boy musical (which is a REAL thing).

Yes, Thwart rules. The Thunderbirds board game was *made* by the fact it had a "Penelope Twarts the Hood" card, as well as a "Brains saves the day" card.

I really like this word I picked up from reading a Borges short story: heresiarch.
