Which Words Do You Love and Which Do You Hate?
Via elsi. Here’s some irrational word feelings:
The word that comes next on the “least favorite” leaderboard is moist. Many people feel quite strongly about moist — there’s even a Facebook group called called “I HATE the word MOIST!” with more than 300 members. One Facebooker calls moist “possibly the worst word in the English dictionary,” while another says, “I despise the sick, repugnant word!” It’s hard to top the aversion felt for moist, but some other Visual Thesaurus “least favorites” can provoke similar reactions: panty/panties, vomit, ointment, and slacks.
Forget moist—try mulct.
How about a phrase: moist loincloth.
There. I win the internets.
