I was sitting around the other day and just started thinking of words that rub me the wrong way. I'm not sure what it is...maybe just the way they sound that, as Dane Cook said, makes me wanna punch a baby. Here's a brief list of mine.
Protuberance - A word common in medicine meaning a surface thrust out from an object, it just sounds so caustic...like it's just annoying enough to be spoken in french. This word must pay.
Vagina - Ok...all dick and fart jokes aside, I hate this word. There are a million slang words for this and I'll use every single one before I use the clinical term. Not because I'm a pervert (and I am), but it just sounds so...mechanical. Anyone who's had the distinct pleasure of being in the presence of one knows this is not the case.
Ecclesiastical - Used in reference to religion. If their goal was to throw a bunch of random letters together to create a $6 word then mission accomplished.
Zeitgeist - Actually a german word that means "spirit of the times", this word has been adopted by tons of pompous yuppie dipshits in reference to anything that's popular at a given time. For instance, the zeitgeist of 1995 would be grunge rock, flannel shirts, the beginning of the expantion of the evil empire (a.k.a Starbucks), etc. Fake sophistication by it's users makes this one just a candidate for justifiable homicide.
Balderdash - Just say "bullshit" and let it go. The british rarely have any slang words worth using (or music worth listening to or movies worth watching)...this certainly isn't one of them.
Leet - Or rather "1337". The first time I saw this I wanted to gouge my own eyes out with a spoon just because it would take longer.
That's my list...what's yours?
