Words You Like and Dislike
« on: September 12, 2016, 08:40:59 am »
Most people have a word they very strongly despise, the most popular tending to be "moist". So I'm curious to know what word(s) you like and dislike? Mine are:

  • Dislike: Gelatinous ( I always think of gory movies or stuff you'd see on Bones or any other CSI-type shows.)
  • Like: Slunk (I've loved this word ever since reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas as a kid.)

I'm also not a fan of the word chartreuse only because it's a very misleading color name. The first time I heard of chartreuse being a color, I immediately imagined some gorgeous jewel-tone shade of pinkish-purple.
Nope. Chartreuse is a bright tone of pea soup green.

You know, like every one likes to here it from some one" you know" maybe 5-10 times in one conversation. Just bugs me. Say what you mean and go on.

Haha! Same here with the chartreuse!

I highly dislike "moist" (of course), "caress," "tender," and "luscious." I like "cascade" a lot. "Ghost" is a neat word, too. Can't think of others! :) Oh! Of course! "Rhododendron"!

There isn't any one word I really like. But I dislike the words shut up. To me it's just plain rude. I think common sense can give a wide vocabulary as to clever ways to say stop talking.
