I like things that *are* fresh, obviously!
I just don't like the word itself. Similarly, Keewick says he(/she?) hates the word flesh, and I'm not keen on that one either now I think of it.
Words that make you squirm Page 2
Mould, death, decay, any will make me crumble into despair..
Gay. A perfectly good word before it was hijacked. The one syllable reason is no excuse for it, bent and queer are one syllable words and far more approriate. You cannot use the word in its true meaning now, which I think is sad and disgusting. If you do, you get funny looks.
Snog. An ugly word for something nice.

Minger and munter. Seems cruel to have words that single out the mingers and munters.
Quote: Lee Henman @ March 13 2011, 1:01 AM GMTThe one I hate most though is "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less". It's not only annoying, it makes no sense whatsoever in the context it's normally used.
