Title: Words less fun to say.
Post by: Wag on March 06, 2009, 04:30:18 PM
Okay - we've got a discussion about words we like to say, so why not see if there are words we don't like too? A woman I work with and I do not like the following words respectively: -

Gusset
Moist

Breakfast and Granola.  I have a hard time with them big words.  I say "brefaxt" and "gernoler" if I'm not careful.

peruse or perusal, , always sounds like whoever is saying it is just trying to impress people.

Prerogative, , another one that has so many simpler replacements, it just sounds like whoever is saying it just learned it and it is the biggest word in their vocabulary. It doesn't help that that coke-head, wife-beating idiot Bobby Brown made a song based on that word, and comes off like a 4th grade dropout both with and without it.

Inflammable - that's always bugged me.  The "in" prefix usually means "not", as in incongruous, inattentive, insincere, etc.  So here's a rather important word, flammable, and they decide to put the "not" prefix on it, except now it means, well, the same thing as before.  Merriam Webster defines inflammable as "flammable". 

Debit - the accounting term, debits and credits.  Just don't like it.

Empowered, empowerment, etc.  Utterly meaningless PC term.  I said "have a nice day", now he is "empowered" to have a nice day.

Raze - sounds like the opposite of what it means.

The obvious joke must be said - does that word make you cringe? (Okay, that does not even constitute a joke, I know).

I also do not like vestibule (particularly the bule part - I dunno why though)

Impact, impacted or (God help us) impactful. I used to just hate when some self-important corporate twit used them to mean effect, affected or effective. By the time it spread into general use, I just started to hate the words themselves. And impactful isn't even a word.

That can be extended to just about any perfectly good word that has been turned into corporate jargon.

Surgery. Again, I didn't hate this word until people tried to sound smart by misusing it, referring to "a surgery" instead of an operation. Which led to the even more idiotic plural, "surgeries." And to make matters worse, doctors have started saying it. To illustrate the problem, imagine someone pointing at a steel mill and saying "they do metallurgies there."

Which brings me to chiropractic. Perfectly good word, except that it appears to be the full name of this field of medicine. Every time I hear it or see it on a sign, I want to yell "chiropractic what?"

OK, that turned into words I hate on principle, rather than words that just don't feel good or sound good. But I guess they're unpleasant just the same. :teddyr:

"Thesaurus"

I've always had a some trouble with "s" and "th" sounds, so that word is a b***h for me to say correctly.

And, on a slightly related note, I hate it when people use double negatives, (ex. "We ain't got no time for that." or "There isn't no paper towels left.") 

I live in Southern Illinois, so I hear that crap a lot.

"Gots" (whenever anyone says it in place of the word "has")
