I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman... concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!
Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.
E: It appears I have misread the question. But I'll leave my Monty Python reference here.
'Woke' when used as a perjorative.
Ointment… it sounds so gross
Feminism
Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.
I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don't feel like that's a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.
It is a word that's supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they're gonna be a reactionary bigot.
I don't agree. I think it's still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it
Moist
Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me
What's wrong with idiom?
Just can't stand the way it sounds, starts with an idi like your going into something then ends with an um. It feels like someone stopped making the name partway through.
I'm so fucking tired of the word "cringe" lately.
Cringe
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What's the point of this word when it's so ambiguous.
In the UK we have the word "fortnight" for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that "biannual" mean twice a year and "biennial" means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
When people call sex "breeding".
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
I only use "breeding" to refer disparagingly to the actions of those who believe that having kids is mandatory or, at least, unavoidable.
That's how I thought it was used.
I'd say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious
I'm not typically one to kink shame, but that's just creepy.
It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]

Did you look them up? That's basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.
I had to as I am not (like veeeerrry far away) familiar at all with any mainstream US churches phrases. At least, I have learnt something new
"y'all" its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words "academic incest" which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
"All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?"
Al'ay'allo'ghtn't've'ny'hear?
Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it's an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there's no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it's Thick Soup.
Trump.
I will never speak it again.
The Fanta Menace.
beautiful 🤩
The Cheeto
The Annoying Orange.
good synonym 😊
Orange Mussolini
that's nice 🙂
Can't pick just one so here're a couple.
"Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. "AI", referring only to LLMs. "Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities.
"AI", referring only to LLMs.
Yeah, it's annoying because there are a lot of legit image recognition and pattern matching applications in my work field, and I need to ask for clarification every time someone says "AI".
Like, is this actually useful, or do you mean "we asked ChatGPT to generate you 20% nonsense"?
Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand 🤷
Slay because my 10 year uses it for everything. Slayalicious, slaytastic, slayme...
Nag. Just sounds harsh
Bungalow. Should be obvious.
People who shorten food names aren't doing English any favors...
'za (Pizza), taters, sgetti, nanners, gnosh (im hungry I need some gnosh gnosh)
Trump
