Ah, you’ve sent me on a trip down memory lane. Mike, Tom, Maureen and I (many years ago … after many, many glasses of wine) compiled our own list of despised words. Every few years, I stumble across the slip of paper and it makes me laugh and cringe at the same time.
Here they are, for your enjoyment (or not):
wound
crevice
Woolworth
c**t (the nasty word for a woman’s you-know-what)
c**k (the nasty word for a guy’s you-know-what)
hunker-down
anal or anus
poop
womb
puss
spew
Spunkmeyer (as in Otis)
weiner
scum
skank
Apparently not wanting to dwell too much on the negative (or maybe we just ran out of wine … I can’t recall) we came up with a much shorter list of good words:
freckle
pie
Hey — you asked.

“Flustrated” Ugh I hate this word sooo much.
