Words you trivially dislike

[Buckeye218]

When anyone tries to put an infantile spin on a word in an attempt to be cute. A coworker says "confoozed" instead of confused.

Any word that describes a bodily function. Any word. Profanity, cutesy euphemism, proper biological term; doesn't matter - I hate them all. Can we please just not talk about that stuff?

I need to go potty.

I’ve had issues saying ***** in the past in totally clinical scenarios. So I get your bodily function woes. A little bit.

I’m also not fond of the term water closet.

PM me what ***** means, or no, maybe don't - it's probably a word I don't like.

If it could be 2 words then I'd have to say "my bad", grrrrr, can't stand that.

Milk pronounced as "melk". There's this Lactaid commercial on "right now" that drives me crazy. The annoying cow (point of the commercial) is bad enough, but the sound of the word drives it over the top for me.

I can’t stand the words got & gotten. I do use got sometimes but gotten gets under my skin.

Hugely - a podcaster I listen to uses it quite a but and I cringe every time.

Kiddo isn’t in the list too.

My wife does that. I have no idea why as it's not like she can't pronounce the i. But, it bugs me!!

Get it right people - it's pronounced "malk". Is that so hard?

"Milk" should rhyme with "silk"! (I'm guessing it's another of those "regional things".)

Maybe. Or maybe you all just don't know how to say it!
