What's your least favorite word?
I'm a word person, always have been, probably always will be which is why I like to surround myself with them. My least favorite would have to be "pity", or any variation of the word. I think its very meaning is offensive. To pity someone, feel sorry for or to feel sorrow for someone seems quite condecending. I can understand being aware of and/ or sensitive to someone's troubles (or at least your perception of someone's troubles) but I believe pity to take that to the level of being patronizing, like you're looking above someone and shaking your head...it evokes a "poor them attitude" that I find pitiful, rarely casuing someone to spring into action. Besides I haven't met anyone who likes pity. I guess a close second for me would be "ugly" for obvious reasons. What's yours?

i had a friend who could not bear to hear or say the word 'moist'. she said it felt funny coming out of her mouth and it seemed 'oozy' to her ears.
i don't have a least favorite word. at least not that i'm aware of. i mean certain words might stir up a bunch of feelings like 'lynch' for instance. it hurts to read that word. 'rape' also does it for me. i'll get back to you on that. ciao*
