Which word do you dislike most?
-
Feminism
Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.
I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don't feel like that's a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.
It is a word that's supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they're gonna be a reactionary bigot.
I don't agree. I think it's still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it

"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.
As an intellectual from The South, I’m taking it back. Y’all is a missing part of speech in the English language and follows known patterns. I use it with pride.
However, saying that out loud I realize I have opened myself up to w’all and will have to give that a try.

I won't, because I can't.

What could I call myself to show I am a feminist, but not that type of feminist.?

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.
Thanks for the link. Interesting definition / history on that word. However, I like it even less now that read all that

I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman... concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!
Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.
E: It appears I have misread the question. But I'll leave my Monty Python reference here.
Well my dear there were only 6 words in that question.

Equalitarian?

I'm not typically one to kink shame, but that's just creepy.
I've known a few people who used "breeding" as a kink word and I'm like motherfuckers i raised four kids it's not a fucking kink, it's a lifelong occupation.
-
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.
Twice a time period. Semi for every two time periods. So every two weeks is semiweekely. However it gets misused so often you almost always have to check making it almost useless.
Similar to failsafe vs redundant.

I personally feel like anyone who's not a bigot IS by nature a feminist at least in a solidarity for the ENTIRE human race sense, but keep in mind, this is coming from my perspective as a male, so I might be missing something by virtue of it not regularly impacting me personally.
I'd love a less-abused word, personally.
As a guy, I don't think I'd WANT to call myself a feminist, lest I be incorrectly associated with the likes of Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, or a whole host of other clearly NON-feminists who hid behind the word to cover their actions.

Frustratingly enough, it's the other way around. Biweekly is every two weeks, semi weekly is two times a week.
I remember it like this:
- bicycles are two circles, biweekly is two weeks
- semicircles are half a circle, semiweekly is half a week
But yes, people use the words interchangeably so often that it's faster just to avoid the problem altogether and just say "every two weeks".

Right? I'm raising one amd I'm constantly exhausted.

Blah got it backwards. Back to coffee for me.

I dislike words with the nasal E sound, specifically meal. I don't know what but for the last three years I can't stand the word meal. "Oh I hope you had a good MEEEEEEEeeeeal"

Slay because my 10 year uses it for everything. Slayalicious, slaytastic, slayme...
Nag. Just sounds harsh
Bungalow. Should be obvious.
People who shorten food names aren't doing English any favors...
'za (Pizza), taters, sgetti, nanners, gnosh (im hungry I need some gnosh gnosh)
Phonetically, 'za should be short for lasagne, and 'sa for pizza... or people can just say the damn words.
Whatever, I guess. Peeps gon' slang slang, for real, for real.

Why?
I can point out a whole collection of really creepy kinks. This is just a word that is normally used for when two animals produce offspring, so let's use it for people shagging, makes it more animalistic.
I really don't see the problem with this one but if you want real kina to blink twenty times, look into vore or guro
