Words you don't like (light hearted)

Phlegm..i hate that word it makes me feel sick...and i hate it when people say pacific instead of specific oh my lord that drives me mad

I've done a similar game in boring meetings mcem, but mine was to mentally tick off how many times the words "ya know" were said. 17 in a 15 minute meeting was the record.

Just don't shout out "Here!" when you get a full house.
Damn, I really wish I had heard of that game.

Did anyone else play buzzword bingo in tedious meetings? Highly unprofessional but fun!
Write down 3 words in the current jargon and score them off as they appear in the inevitably predictable speech!

Hate kids relating to children.

Love discombobulated.

"Date"??? Should be "dare" damn tablet!

Now, theres a thought!

There is a "thing" in the House of Commons where there is a bet/date to get certain words into a speech, a female NO some time back managed this, although I can't remember who it was it what the word was

Would be fun to set a GN challenge to include certain words into conversation, but sadly no way of checking!

Bulbous is a robust sort of word.

I like genuflect, which I heard many times in my Catholic childhood.

Thank you.
I must try and casually drop it into conversations now.

Yes, but say it quickly and the emphasis is on the first syllable

Hal - see - yen (I think ?)

I love halcyon, although I have never used it, and don't know how to pronounce it.

Gush

I don't like that for some reason but I don't know why

I like the sound of the word "tincture", but can rarely find an occasion to use it.

Hate gobsmacked. Love flabbergasted.

For a while, DS's favourite word was crapulent because it isn't what it sounds like and few people knew! It raised a few eyebrows!

Yes! I hate 'empowered' or 'empowering'.

Trollop is great, not least because it rhymes with dollop, another good word.

Oh yes flibbertigibbet is a great word. I love trollop and all that it conjures up!

Fickle is lovely..

flibbertigibbet is wonderful
I always wanted to be one of those
