    Everyone has a word that they absolutely cannot stand to hear, write, see, or say.  Not because it's offensive or mean, necessarily.  But because the way it sounds just totally grates on your entire being and makes you cringe!  Oddly, I've known lots of people whose most-hated word is "panties", which makes me giggle.

    Mine is....oh god.  I don't think I can type it.  Ahh...I hate it so much.  Okay.  It's......"fart".  AHHH I WANT TO DELETE IT!!

    I cannot stand that word.  It makes me cringe, it makes me uncomfortable, it embarasses me.  I don't know why!!! I NEVER, EVERRRRR use that word.  I swear to you, I have not said or used that word in real life in years and years and years.  I will do ANYTHING to avoid saying it.  I don't know why!  It doesn't offend me, I just can't stand the way it sounds (or, I suppose as well, what it means/stands for) and it just makes me sooo....shy and embarassed.  I cannot say it.  I swear, if you had a $100 bill waving in my face I still dont' think I could bring myself to say it.

    Also, I hate the word C U NEXT TUESDAY (can I type the real thing? Is that a violation of some kind? I never know).  Not because it offends me, but because it makes the lady bits sound like such a blunt, angry, axe-wound of a va-jay-jay.  I know it's usually used as a derogatory term/name, but when I think of what it means, I just hate the visual it gives me of the part it represents!! Although, that word I can actually say out loud (but rarely do).

    I hate the word coupon because most people don't say it properly. They say it Q-Pon and there is NO Q is coupon. It drives me crazy!

    I cannot stand the word "moist".

    It just makes me uncomfortable.

    I avoid saying if I can. It just makes me cringe.

    @Lyndzo:  OMG I hate mispronunciations too!! My MOST-HATED? ETC.  It is ET CET-ER-AH.  Hence, the abbreviation etc.  IT IS NOT, NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN, EX SETRAH.  If it were ex setrah, it would have been abbreviated 'exc/exs'.  OMGGG.  I feel you!!

    I don't like moist either, I know a good amount of people that don't. But for me using the word mad instead of very or wicked, (ex: "This food is mad good") drives me completely crazy. I absolutely hate it. I yell at my SO if he uses it. I don't know why I hate it so much, I just do.

    I know someone who hates the word meal.

    I know I have at least one but I can't think of any. (Maybe I'm repressing the memory of them! haha)

    I hate the word supposedly because I've heard a lot of people mispronounce it "supposably."  It makes me want to instantly correct them.  I also can't stand when people pronounce nuclear like new-cue-lar.  I don't even know how to spell it like they say it!  And my mom is one of them... *sigh*  It drives me crazy.

    Me too! Despite the fact that I actually find them extremely funny in a 7th grade kind of way, I'll always try to say "gassy" instead LOL!

    Hmmm, what else. The word "spread" tends to make me uncomfortable when used in the food way, I think I've attached a weird sexual mental tag to that word, so now I can't bring myself to buy "spreads" at the grocery store. Ok I'm weird.

    I think my big 3 have been mentioned...the M word, the C word, and the P word. LOL. I hate the M word most...but C will piss me off IRL if someone says it. It's just so nasty (the visual I get). There are so many better terms for the lady bits!

    Mispronunciations annoy me, but I don't hate them, I just cringe. Like 'warsh.' WTF? There's no R in wash!

    Restaraunt and marraige----I always have to look them up when writing because I can never remember the correct spelling. :)

    Also, I always want to say "guess-ture" for gesture (jest-ure) because of that stupid game. Jesture just seems so wrong for some reason!

    I hate "all of the sudden." It's *a* sudden. Omg.

    To say, I hate breast. Any word for #2, fart... I say boob, go to the bathroom, and pass gass (if I must mention it at all). Also butt. I realise this makes me sound immature, but I just find it uncomfortable. I feel like body and bodily functions are private.

    Normal words, I hate hubby and preggers. Will not say them.

    Okay, so I work with geriatrics at a psychiatric hospital.  One of my duties is to help them getting ready in the morning.  Typically our patients are a two person job because they're usually completely out of it or combative.  Well, one of my co-workers is about 60 years old and talks to the geriatrics like they're children.  If we take a patient to the bathroom, she will say "go pee-pee" or she'll use the word poops.  This makes my blood boil each time.  I think saying "go to the bathroom" is just as effective and more appropriate.

    Okay, mine is a bit crass but I HATE the word "pussy". Ew, ew, ew, ew. I can't stand it. I especially hate it in the sexual context. It's my vagina, thanks.

    Word that just annoy me "bling/bling bling", and "bootylicious".

    OH! And "irregardless". There is NO SUCH WORD!

    Tinkle, in regards to peeing.  Ugh.  Just say pee, it's a useless word.  I get SO SO SO angry when I hear people say it. 

    I also agree with zippylef - I hate the word pussy.  It's vulgar.  Along with cock.  Actually, I hate most words that talk about genitalia that aren't the real thing.  Let's be adults and say vagina and penis.

    I HATE the "p" and "c" words.  I feel like I can't type them out because I'm at work. Hah! I REALLY hate it when people can't spell things, or use them correctly.  For instance, to, too and two mean three different things.  If you don't know how to use them, then either learn or find another way.  I also hate abbreviations in texts...now, I love abbrevs. (ha) in real life, but don't do the whole "C U l8er".  When I see things like that, I think you are 12.

    @NDBee:  Haha..that, too.  I also hate "ideaR".  There is no R in idea.  My Nana says "MACDonalds" and "JCPennies"  There is no "s" in JcPenny, and it's pronounced "Mic-Donalds", not MAC, I cringe whenever I hear it.

    @zippylef:  I hate "pussy" too. "Tits" even more. Pretty much any slang word used to refer to body parts. Oh, and "retarded." Mainly because these words are normally used in an offensive way.

    But if we're talking about hating words just because of how they sound, definitely "panties." Makes me cringe.

    Ok, mine isn't a word. It's a phrase. 

    "it is what it is" ...grrr! It makes me cringe every time I hear it. I never say it. I just find it so annoying! (I know it's a common phrase but it just drives me crazy).

    I cannot stand when people overuse filler words like ya know, know like what I mean, ya know?  It's so distracting I can't focus on the point of what they are saying.

    Corporate speak as mentioned above ("let's take this offline" or "let's touch base").

    -Moist

    -Nother (it's "an other ___" not "a nother ___" or "a whole nother ___")

    -"Defiantly" or "Definately" when people aret trying to spell "definitely"
