Words you'd like to see eliminated.

Recommended Posts

"Unavoidable" un·a·void·a·ble Impossible to avoid; inevitable


I don't like this word. It is almost always used as an excuse, or denial.


Things that are generaly really unavoidable: Passage of time, aging......


So what words do you dislike?

Mom talking to child...."drinky-poo" might be ok.

Construction forman inviting the crew out at the end of the day? :D

I think it depends on the context used. That word's used in the UK all the time but it's not really referring to a woman's private parts. It's more of a slang term for a person's personality or caused by something bad someone did. Does that make any sense? Like if someone cut you off and then gave you the finger he'd be a right cunt. If someone kept hitting on your wife at the pub they'd be a cunt. Etc. Used in that way the word doesn't bother me one bit. Used as a description of a woman's vagina though, that I can't stand.

Who have you been hangin' out with????

Personally, I can't think of a word I'd like to see eliminated. I would like people to stop saying real-a-tor. It's realtor!

I'm going to have to second that. I also get pretty peeved by misuse of "un" and "in" :S

On another note, I think anyone using "LOL" should be shot in the foot :D

That makes sense. I don't mind that usage at all. This is going to sound really biased, but somehow it doesn't bother me at all to hear a man called a cunt, but I don't like it used to refer to a woman or a vagina.

Odd. I guess, like you say, it's a context thing.

Nothing is truly free, everything has some cost associated to it either directly or indirectly. What really makes me hate this word is they say it every 5 seconds in ads that are targeted towards stupid old people. >:(
