Feminism
Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.
I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don’t feel like that’s a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.
It is a word that’s supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they’re gonna be a reactionary bigot.
I don’t agree. I think it’s still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it
I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman… concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!
Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.
E: It appears I have misread the question. But I’ll leave my Monty Python reference here.
Ointment… it sounds so gross
‘Woke’ when used as a perjorative.
Moist
Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me
What’s wrong with idiom?
Just can’t stand the way it sounds, starts with an idi like your going into something then ends with an um. It feels like someone stopped making the name partway through.
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
I’m so fucking tired of the word “cringe” lately.
Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it’s an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there’s no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it’s Thick Soup.
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
“y’all” its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words “academic incest” which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
“All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?”
Al’ay’allo’ghtn’t’ve’ny’hear?
Do you say can’t or can not?
biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What the point of this word when it’s so ambiguous.
In the UK we have the word “fortnight” for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that “biannual” mean twice a year and “biennial” means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
Tumescent
Can’t or won’t. Take your pick.
I won’t, because I can’t.
Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand 🤷
A peacock’s tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.
A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.
I don’t really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.
Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn’t actually known and my interpretation isn’t even in the running, but I’m saving this anyway because it’s amusing.
I’ll also take your definition. It sounds good and if there’s not a known origin, it could be true
