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
Where the hell is that soothing music coming from?

Ash


Delicious 
(when used to describe anything other than food)

Punt

RCMerchant

Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."
Slobber, Drool, Drip!

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

Ash

Chipotle

(awful, awful word.  I always want to pronounce it like it's spelled: Chi-potal)

CaptnTripps

rambunctious- just rubs me wrong
"Look at this! It bit me, i've been savaged"

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.

Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Movie Trivia Fact : O.J. Simpson was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but producers feared he was \"too nice\" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.<br />Isn\'t hindsight great.<br />A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. - Agent Kay - Men in Black

Where the hell is that soothing music coming from?

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 world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.
