I always run into words that people just can't stand. Take the word "moist" for instance. Merely saying it causes some people to cringe, like you're scraping a chalkboard with rusty nails.
What are your guys' most despised words? It can be 'cause you hate the way it sounds or what it means.
Personally, inflammable is up there. To quote Dr Nick, INflammable means flammable? What a country! You'd think that the in would be the opposite, but apparently not. It's those back assward words that just make no sense that get on my nerves.

Inflammable, in flames. Makes sense to me. Flammable was a word that got made up so dumb people wouldn't think inflammable meant unable to be burnt.
actually it's a pretty killer phrase. I don't think I dislike any words tho, I'd rather have more words than less.
