Awful words

Post by Smith Corks One »

Moist. Always hated that one. Yuck.

And "chunk." I would like to rewind to a time before that became a verb used in education to refer to breaking words/phrases/clauses into smaller parts. WTF

What lunch represents is great, but the word itself sucks.

And no one over the age of 5 should say tummy.

Panties. When talking about potty training my kid people will say, "Have you tried the pull up panties?" Ugh. I've been trying to say undies instead, but it's not much better.

Yeah, don’t know if it’s just me but that word has always connoted a sexy type of underwear - always sounded extremely strange when referring to kids underwear.

Good choices so far.

I’ll add tomorrow. I always somehow get the wrong number of r’s. I don’t like the word.

Library, and to a lesser extent February.

I had to give up judging people that say ‘libary’ because I’ve heard too many truly intelligent people say it. Plus, I was being a dick.

I love sandwiches, but the word sandwich sucks. First, obviously, it starts with "sand" which has no business being in a food word. But also I always spell it wrong, because of actual words"which" and "witch," neither of which are the spelling some moron chose for sandwich.
