Okay I have to tell you that as a writer certain words just annoy me. I think for my Friday five I will share my five least favorite words and why. Oh I am tagging you so look out!
1) Purchase. I hate when people say this word. It's a word people use when they are trying to sound official but have no clue about anything.
2) Portion. This word freaks me out by the way people say it. It just sounds weird! I hate it!
3) Panties. Sounds child molestery and scary. I just hate it!!!
4) Purse. Do all my hate words start with "P"? I just think it sounds dated and bad. I like "bag" myself.
5) Harvest. I hate this word because people try to use it when they refer to getting the eggs out when you do in vitro. "How many do they harvest?" Hello? I am not a farm.
BONUS WORD I HATE!
6) MOIST! Please it's gross! Do I need a reason? Just say it and try not to puke.

I am trying to bring back certain dated words, like Pocketbook and Davenport. : )
When I was a newspaper reporter and typing up mundane things like obits and weddings, the word that gave me fits was "discharge." Eww. Hospital patients are not discharged, they are dismissed!
Love this list and agree with you on most! I know someone who likes to work "moist" into describing food positively... YAAAAHHHUCKKKKK
I am the same way about "purse"! I always use "bag".
My MIL...oh, the MIL...she calls my boy's underwear "panties"!!! WTH?!? Drives.Me.Crazy. I told my husband to PLEASE correct her before I lose it! Just another thing for MIL and me to disagree on. But I'm totally right on this one! Don't you agree?!
I am doing it, but my new blog is www.kategosselin.blogspot.com
;)
Fun! I will have to think about this.
Have a great weekend! :)
I HATE the word panties. So does my best friend. Just say underwear!
I hate the word panties too, but my least fav has to be moist! So gross! I'm glad you agree!
I did mine!! I ditto yours as well.
I so agree with you on panties and moist! Yuck!
Too funny. Not too many words bother me, but the way people say them, move their mouths or over accentuate some really make me hypersensitive! Living in the south makes this hard! One word I hate...BLOATED, it just sounds gross.
ugh I hate no 3 as well - only pervy weirdos use that word!! thanks for tagging me! I'll have a good think about it!
I've always thought that word "nipple" when used for baby bottles was a little too explanatory for my tastes... I fed my babies with a combination of breastfeeding and bottles with formula, and of course, my own nipple are, in fact, nipples. But, to call that mounded piece a rubber a "nipple" always kind of irked me...
i tagged you check my blog, please participate if you have time!
Great post...I agree panties and other P words...yuck.
Don't feel bad about tagging me for wedding pics! I'm glad that I have my wonderful hubby of 31 years...what are pictures in comparison to that? Nothing...compared to the other things we lost. I'm going to post some shots of Katrina at our house soon...How's Landon doing? Thinking about all of you...xoxo
2 of my least favorite words.. panties and moist. Glad to see I am not the only one!
i have taken a summer siesta...hope you've had a great one....
Ooh, I dislike "purchase" when used in THAT way, too!!
Now you have me thinking of more words...I may have to edit and add a 6th!! LOL!
This is cracking me up! Ditto MOIST! And another I dislike and it is on a warning label on our jet-ski is orifice-weird! This has got me thinking now...I may be back to post some others!
hmmmm. picky aren't we? {{hits ctrl+f in own blog searching for hated words}}
I hope you never have to harvest newly-purchased moist panties from that certain portion of your purse.
