Writer's Block: Words that you love and hate

Jun 08, 2007 08:31

What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?

My favorite word is joy. Just the sound of the word fills me with the emotion. Joy. I can't say it without smiling.

I also love glorious. It's another word that fills me with joy.

I over-use fabulous, fantastic, and fantabulous, which dictionary.com does list as a word, ( Read more... )

My least favorite word is the one that starts with a C and is so spine-twitchfully awful that I cannot bring myself to write it or say it. You know the one. It is just foul.

Culottes?

Custard

Custard's not so bad.

trista June 8 2007, 15:06:11 UTC

That one's almost as bad. :P

I remember being in about second grade and thinking that "the f-word" meant "fart" because it was the only naughty word starting with "f" I could think of, and it certainly wasn't one you were supposed to say.

I think I was already using the f word in second grade! Certainly not where my parents could hear me, though. I think I was 32 before I did that, and I still got a stern talking to from my dad.

I find it laugh-out-loud-and-make-me-cry-funny that I have completely ruined a word for you. And the best part? I don't even remember using that word a lot. Do I still do it? Because I bet that would be annoying. Chiz chiz.

That's so annoying. God, Mandy annoys me. Christina was so annoying today. Mr Samuel is annoying. Mom and Dad annoy me. Stop annoying me. Oh my god, Ace of Base is annoying.

Yeah, you said it a couple of times.

Chiz chiz.

*shriek*

I don't mind any of those, really, but I will admit that novice is a much better word than newbie. I bet noob drives you absolutely nuts, doesn't it?

Have some coffee. I want to hear more of your thoughts on words. :)

The dreaded C word figures very prominently.
