Words you don't like - nothing blasphemous

For me some words just don't look right or sound wrong.

Unusable, misshap, unmistaken and unmissable - I'm sure there are others but I can't think of any more.
Unreal is another

Re: Words you don't like - nothing blasphemous

These may not be related to what you mean Janella, but they annoy me and thanks for the chance to get them off my chest.
Outside the box, No brainer, Company policy, Uncool, and referring to a man and a woman, "Are they a Unit?", sounds like a piece of furniture. That's my pet one, I really hate that one.

Re: Words you don't like - nothing blasphemous

They are fine Jimmy..I should have put words and phrases.
Uncool is another for me - stick an 'un' in front of any word and it becomes fashionable.
Do you think I should have put this in the grumpy corner? Or is it ungrumpy?

Re: Words you don't like - nothing blasphemous

"Have a nice day" annoys me although I do have a bad habit of saying and finishing things off with "take care" - which is commonly said up here! Don't like awesome, cool, either!

Interesting thread and thanks for sharing

Take care

Re: Words you don't like - nothing blasphemous

I can never remember how to spell the word meaning sixty seconds. When I write it I worry have I got the correct one or is that a dance . it always looks wrong when I write it.

Also writing cooperation which sounds like repairing a chicken hutch

Took a few seconds - but I'm with you now Meg, 'minute' 60 seconds or very small, irritating when words have more than one meaning...
cooperation -....giggle

Re: Words you don't like - nothing blasphemous

I don't suppose we can slag off that much, remember all the hippy stuff, "Freak out man" "Make love not war" "Cosmic" etc., one hippy who used to sit at the same workbench as me, every Monday morning when he sat down to work he would be in bits after a concert somewhere in a field over the weekend, God only knows what he was on, he used to make me laugh when he'd start taking Aspro's and say "I gotta defreak myself man, yes defreak rapidly".
