Worst Word of the English Language

Oh, trust me, I fathom it. :slight_smile:

Moist.

I don’t care what anyone else thinks. This word is pronounced like “quail” without the “L.”

You can have queue (“kyoo”), but how about queuing? :slight_smile:

(Or is that “queueing”?)

Chrome spellcheck says “queuing.” Also, spellcheck is apparently not a word.

Here’s a word I don’t particularly like:
Pretentious.

It seems whenever that word is used, it can simply be applied to almost anything someone dislikes.

Oh boy, now you’ve done it, danielsangeo… Now I have to decide whether I hate “incentivize” more than “hipster”.

Well THAT took a whole 3 seconds.

“Hipster” is the worst word in the English language. It literally means nothing, and anybody who tries to use it as if it means something… becomes instantly deserving of an elbow to the teeth.

By that measure, I could suggest ‘literally’ because it’s a word that I so rarely see used correctly. You certainly didn’t, as ‘hipster’ has several definitions.

A very hipster way of seeing the word, in a way. Hipster became used commonly and you’re abandoning it.

Joking aside, it does have a fairly specific meaning, people just rarely use it properly.

EDIT: Literally is an annoying one, I’ll agree. Plus people never use it usefully even when its correct.

Dumb.

An awesome word is “defenestrated”.
Pure awesomeness.

nonsensical

as if sensical is a word…

Sounds a lot like defecate. I’d imagine the meaning would be to fuck someone in the anus as they are defecating.

hint: dictionary.com

I remember what that word means because Fenster means window in German and I just kind of go from there.

I remember that word because it features heavily in Prussian history, which is important to me.

There’s something about the word “vegan” that really hurts my ears.

I didn’t dislike it until I saw it written a lot. It would affect me less if it were spelled “vigan” or if it rhymed with “Vegas”, but as it is I don’t like it.

Crevice is a dirty word! :smiley:

Going with difficulty of pronunciation:

Particularly

Most people I talk to pronounce it as “particuly.” Whenever I pronounce it right, they all look at me weird and say I pronounce it wrong. Then I play “English teacher” and go through the word with them. Then they tell me to fuck off.
