Words that make you cringe?
What words make you cringe?
Oddly enough my two big ones today both relate to pregnancy: sperminated and preggo.
Haaaaate them both.

my read shelf:
This. Also along that line- "penetration." Football commentators say it A LOT, and I'm not sure how they can with a serious face.
I am with you on this one!
I agree about moist.
And squirt.

siggy - i REALLY REALLY hate that word. it makes me think of cigarettes which i think are just about the most vile, disgusting things ever.
irregardless - NOT A WORD PEOPLE!
ax/aks - in place of ask. this one grates on me to no end.
succulent - i just sounds dirty! funny, but dirty. and it's like a word you use when you're trying too hard.
any of the 64,000 "funny" spellings of the word "poll" used on the knot/nest.
penalized. My 8th grade history teacher always pronounced it peen-ull-ized, and it was something I never got over.
TCC related: my DH hates when I tell him about "Cervical Mucus"...let me tell ya, nothing gets him more in the mood like telling him about my CM! LOL

Cringe.Shudder.
Do you know what commercial I'm talking about? On the radio? I change the station when it comes on.
Agreed! I was using a discount card at a beauty suppy store when I was buying a whole bunch of product it racked up quite a bill and the sales assistant said "good thing you have our card otherwise you would have been raped in the ass". I was shocked, speechless, and very upset when I left the store.
HAAAAATE. That commercial drives me batty, solely because of 2 different commercials for that company use women who say "ax". I may never get their faces and voices out of my head. Ick.
That is terrible!!
I had a similar experience at a mall shoe store. I worked elsewhere in the mall at a place where it was 100% female employees. They asked if any men had ever worked there and I said, "One...awhile ago" and the shoe salesperson asked, "Did he take it up the other hole?"
I was stunned into silence and got out of there as quick as possible.
this is so incredibly inappropriate! who says stuff like that outside of their VERY close circles of friends? (if you're going to say it at all). cripes.
Exactly! I highly doubt I would ever say that. But NEVER to a stranger. I hope I don't give off a vibe that makes people feel comfortable saying stuff like that to me :-/ I really wish I was making the whole story up but alas it did happen. I think it is burned in my memory forever.
I have heard it more often lately and it is just disgusting to relate paying too much money to being raped. Super lame.
Creeps, Creeps are who say things like that.
YOU HEAR ME EVERYONE IF YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT YOU ARE A CREEP! I'm calling you all out on it you creepers!
PROLY --- as it should be PROBABLY.
Also, I hate the 'ax' as well.
