Diarise – it sure doesn’t sound as nice as putting a date in one’s diary
Also… kitschy and bric-a-brac.
decapitate (and all derivatives thereof)
“Victuals”
Because it makes no frakking sense to pronounce it ”vittles”
I also hate “bologna” for the same reason. Is it “bow-low-nyah” or “baloney”?
Carafe. “Cuh-raff” or is it “care-uh-fay”?
Kielbasa. “Keel-ba-sah” Or “kabasey”?
@Seek_Kolinahr re bologna: I’ve always pronounced it “bol-onn-ya” (emphasis on the middle syllable).
* pak! *...I guess it’s not really a word, but it’s an onamonapia.
Bitch, just by itself. son of a bitch it’s ok. I don’t know why.
C*nt, I think it’s worse to say than f*ck.
I hate the word “pussy” when people use it in normal conversation.
Strangely, though, I love it when guys say it in bed.
I think that “taskers” and “waspers” both equally make my ass twitch. Also “pot pie” for some reason.
Only pussies hate spelunking. I love going down caves. Just saying.
Mine will be (for this week, or until this question is resurrected again, whichever comes first):
ubiquitous
Man, that word is fucking everywhere.
@zen_ my sister only discovered that word a few years ago, and she read it out to me, only she pronounced it you-be-quish-iuos… I now love the word and can’t see it without thinking of her; bless.
Bitches!
I mean I hate bitches.
Fag, faggot, and cunt are big ones on my list. And pretty much any racial insult.
And I just realised I didn’t read the question under the title of the uh question…about just the sound of the word (not the meaning).
I don’t like the word Hawaii because I can’t pronounce it correctly…lol.
“and cunt”
Now that’s just dirty talk. ;-)
I was thinking about what frankie said. A lot of words I dislike still sound exciting coming from a girl in bed.
And that’s the way I like it!
A book that I am reading said something in a recent chapter about the “N word” being the most hated word in the English language.
The US version of aluminum. Not only does it get misspelled every time I type it, but I cannot pronounce it unless going into slow-motion. The UK version is much much easier to pronounce, but will take some time getting used to without giggling.
@Pied_Pfeffer Aluminium – see, easy! oops, I’m not meant to be talking anymore, sorry @zen_ ;-)
conversate : if you are making a slang from a word, why add a syllable?
See ya…...Gary/wtf
Oh.Oh.>> “Disorientated.” “Exscape.” “Supposably”
@Pied_Pfeffer The first time I heard it pronounced in the UK way was in 9th grade science class and we couldn’t figure out what the the hell they guy was talking about. I prefer the UK pronounciation, as well.
There are certain words that drive me nuts when people emphasize different parts of the word. EYE-talian instead of ITalian and Nucular instead of Nuclear.
Conscience. Hard to spell, hard to say.
@harple I hope you realize it was just a play on the word ubiquitous, right?
“Lump” is also a stupid word.
@zen_ ha ha, yes I did! Ooh, sorry, I mean: yes, I did!
@zen_ what caves are in Israel? Tons here in US in WV and VA and elsewhere.
Hated word “appropriate”
