[Fenner]

I don't like the words, crinkle, moist, nom nom, yummy, baby mama, or baby daddy, I really can't stand some of the abbreviations used in texting, etc, SMH, shaking my head, and rofl, rolling on the floor laughing out loud, my co worker who is kind and wonderful pronounces the word pumpkin, as punkin, when she says it I cringe.

Any words that refer to the more unmentionable parts of the human anatomy, whether male or female, scientific or slang, have always kind of freaked me out.

My ex-husband used to use the term "pieces", which I liked a whole lot better. I suppose I could use that the next time I go to the doctor: "Yup... the pieces seem to be just fine. Sure, they're collecting dust and turning into antiques, but at least nothing seems to be wrong with the pieces themselves."

"Nuculear" instead of nuclear. "Expresso" instead of espresso.

Speaking of dentists... one day my dentist was drilling on my teeth and he said a word I found offensive. In fact I told the receptionist later I took offense at that four letter word he used.

The receptionist said "That's impossible, he doesn't cuss."

I said, "Well he used a four letter word just then that I found offensive. He said 'oops.' When he's drilling on my teeth I find that word very objectionable."

conjugal visit.

conjugal visit.

This made me laugh out loud!!!

Yeah, the whole idea of a "lockup rendezvous" just gives me the creeps... I mean, you'd have the guards there and everything under lock and key, literally... not to mention, cameras...

But then again, I've never been married to anyone in prison, either.

The words President and Obama put together.
And, it's not a word, but I cringe when I hear pieces of styrofoam rub together.

 

[Pemican]

I'm beginning to hate the word ....... cute

It is objectionable if the doctor/surgeon says "Oops" during an intervention. How do they expect us to not take exception to that word?

Nosh
Frenemy

That's funny you should say that. I used to have a frenemy named Nosh.

I'm not making that up.

- Chrislam (which one is it?)
- Wireless Cable (which one is it?)
- Honorificabilitudinitatibus (real word, not needed, sounds like something you catch in the jungles of Africa)

That reminds me of this little-known outtake from Lord of the Rings, specifically where they were at the doors of Durin.

They had to reshoot the scene... a week later, when the doors would finally reopen.

My wife asking me, "REMEMBER?" I can't remember everything that she tells me (and she tells me a lot on a daily basis) then quizzes me later to see if I remember.
