The ugliest words in the english language
 
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?

"and" i got a real problem with people tryin to combine shit and make things all confusing.

"is" what kinda of shit is that. what is is? no one really knows

"the" just call it it

"glass" not the stuff that lets you look through a wall, im talkin about that cup you have in your kitchen thats made out of glass dotn try and make it sound nicer than it is besides we already wear glasses, we dont need to figure out which glasses to drink out of.

Well "is" is more of an existential thing. It's a transitional word between "was" and "will be" It's kind of like the word "word". It takes longer to explain than you'd think. "What does "word" mean? Well...it means a word". Duh.:D

And as for "the"...it'd take a lot of restructuring the english language to get rid of "the". Not even going into that it can sound two different ways depending on the word that follows it, replacing the word with "it" would be virtually impossible. Can you imagine trying to preface a noun with "it"? "Be right back...I'm going to it store". Or "Get me it paper". Just doesn't work.

that was a drunk post from you? :crazy: Damn, you've gotten better from what I can remember...........

ive honed my motor skills :D and it is a bit nonsensical


and steve i wanted to replace "the ____" with "it" like on southpark with the marclars who call everything marclar. ex: the marclar of this marclar is that marclar will understand marclar so we dont have to use marclar to describe marclar.

make sence? probobly not

I hate the word "it." That word can drive you crazy if "it" is not used properly.
