Okay, I got it now, thank you. I missed that one entirely because "momentarily" has always meant "in a moment."
It has two meanings in English it means for a moment and in most other places it's shortly.

Re: Words you don't like.

That reminds me of our choirmaster in the school hall, there we all were rehearsing for the Christmas concert, a mixed choir of men and women from all walks of life, we were singing our brains out when suddenly he taps the desk with his rhythm stick “Stop! Stop! stop singing, I’m not getting your full attention, I find there is some who’re singing and some who’re not”
