Which word do you dislike most?
-
The F word that means "a bundle of sticks" used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.
I do agree. That word is harsh to see, to hear. I have never liked it. Even between gays, I don't use it at all.
-
"Walkie-Talkie"
Its a "Handheld Transceiver" ffs, who the fuck gave it such a stupid name lmfao
Is a Telephone a "Chit-y-Chat-y"? A computer a "Beep-ie-Boop-ie"?
If you want to go deeper about that word:
The earliest known use of the noun walkie-talkie is in the 1930s.
OED's earliest evidence for walkie-talkie is from 1939, in the San Antonio Express-News (San Antonio, Texas).

Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand
Hmm... I like that, sorry. But, there is a little history behind that word.
An alcoholic mixed drink, and derived senses you will need to scroll down a bit to get to the alcoholic drink part.

When people call sex "breeding".
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans

biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What's the point of this word when it's so ambiguous.

"y'all" its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words "academic incest" which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.

I uh... I'm not sure what your source is, but for mine 'breeding' is anything but "only for procreation"
E: in case it isn't painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes
that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.

In the UK we have the word "fortnight" for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that "biannual" mean twice a year and "biennial" means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.

Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it's an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there's no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it's Thick Soup.

I'm so fucking tired of the word "cringe" lately.

Can't pick just one so here're a couple.
"Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies.
"AI", referring only to LLMs.
"Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities."AI", referring only to LLMs.
Yeah, it's annoying because there are a lot of legit image recognition and pattern matching applications in my work field, and I need to ask for clarification every time someone says "AI".
Like, is this actually useful, or do you mean "we asked ChatGPT to generate you 20% nonsense"?
