youngestson Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't react as strongly (pro and con) to words as much as phrases. unless I hit my thumb with a hammer, then I'm right there with Buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I watched an art seminar put on by a woman and her young daughter, and while I picked up some cool techniques and ideas, I swear I wanted to throw a brick at my monitor after about the twentieth time I had to hear someone say "super excited." The other phrase I hate that every douchebag in professional sports rattles off "it taught me how to deal with adversity." I dunno about favorite. A decade ago it might have been luthier. Maybe libidinous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I hate the words, "bro," and, "boss." They seem patronizing. I like all the other words equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Right now my least favorite is "GoTo", as in clients texting me that they want to have a GoToMeeting with me online lol... My favorite word for the last 30 years is "dad"...I have a daughter. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I like the word "nomenclature", it's fun to say. The f word is my jam when I'm talking to friends. With people I don't know, I like to toss "sir" and "ma'am" out there quite a bit. Establishes respect. My least favorite word right now is "dynamic". It got really popular around a decade ago, but people still say it like they're unveiling a word you may not have heard before. People feeling like they just dropped the mic after they say it.

China Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Well, defenestrate is a great word. I also like omphaloskepsis. I'll have to think on ones I don't like. Usually, it's just the misuse of words or phrases, like "untracked." That is incorrect. It is "on track." Untracked would indicated a derailure as opposed to on track which means on line and heading to the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 2 hours ago, China said: Well, defenestrate is a great word. I was just thinking of that one. It's one of those words where you say "Wait, is this something that happens so frequently that we need a word to describe it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 ^^speaking of defenestration.... my family and i were in Prague some years back, and toured some castle, where defenestration happened. I ask my family what it’s called when you toss someone out a window twice. Double defenestration. Yeah, that’s the family joke to this day 😂 also, favorite word: **** or ******* least favorite word: don’t think i have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Foofaraw collywobbles frowsty and argle-bargle are some of my favorites, mostly because they’re fun to say. I dislike the word moist, for some reason. I find myself saying “it’s not dry” when describing a cake, for example, just to avoid saying it. Not a fan of the word juicy either, when not describing food. I’ve heard a grub described as “juicy” and it made me want to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
