I can't stand the word, hubby. I cringe every time I hear it or read it. I know most people find nothing wrong with it at all, but for some reason I just find it silly. Beyond silly. It brings to mind a husband who is a bit of dopey buffoon. Usually this dopey, buffoon of a husband is also pudgy. And oblivious. And balding, perhaps with comb-over tendencies.. No hubby ever had a nice full head of hair.
So hubby means a pudgy, dopey, oblivious, balding, comb-over wearing buffoon of a husband.
I have a friend who is simply horrified by the word moist. It actually makes her mad. She's a good sport when we razz her about it, but I happen to know that it actually angers her. Another word that she abhors is panties. And whatever you do--don't string both words together!
Are there any words that you can't stand?

I hope you know how much this post made me squirm. Ugh.
I can't stand the word Hubby either. I don't hate it like I hate other words, but it does seem like a very silly word. Just like I hate when people have their child call his or her sister "sissie," and I hate it when an adult calls his or her spouse "Mommy" or "Daddy." It just makes me feel like they have some sort of weird sexual repressions.
Oh yah, and I hate when a man refers to the woman he married as "the wife." That man should be named Bruce or Chaz, and he should wear his shirt un-buttoned at least three buttons (so we can see his chest hair), and he should be drinking cognac. While winking and telling everyone how good she is in bed. That's why I hate that one.
I'l let you know if I think of any more.
Neither one of you looks like a "hubby", and that's a good thing. I also hate "panties" and "the wife" does sound like some cocky jerk talking. My husband calls me his "lovely bride", which I think is kind of sweet after being together for 31 years.
So no moist panties, but moist hubby is okay?
I'm confused.
I don't know if there are any words I can't stand, really, although worker's compensation would be pretty close to the top of my hate list if I had one.
I call Eric my man.And I say things to him all the time about how much I love my man. He seems to like it. And he seems to like me. And we've been married 31 years now, too.
If that don't make ya moist, I don't know what will.
Me too! I love this game!
Slurp. I hate slurp. Moist annoys, but slurp really gags... cardi for cardigan is painful... I heard someone once call something awesome-sauce and I threw up a little... the George W version of nuclear that I cannot even bring myself to type because it hurts so bad...
I'm sure there are more that I can't think of just now...
I am not a fan of hubby, but have (with serious reservation and hesitation) used "hubs" on twitter simply to get down to 140 characters. I didn't feel good about it, though.
My big hate is not a word thing, but rather when a woman says, "I have to ask my husband." WTF?!
Ha ha! I have used the word hubby before.. So, I read your discription to Ian. He just cracked up laughing..
This weeks word to fear is playoffs!
I'm with you! Worse than hubby is hubs. And delish.
:-)
I hate the following words: Lover, Panties, Penis, Bonnet (as in the hood of a car), Tampon, Hernea, Herneated, Persnickety, Douche (but not Douche Bag), Jake and Dope.
The above list is not exhaustive and subject to change without notice.
The following may be more expressions or use of the words than the words themselves, however I also hate:
Hell - as in "That was hell good." or "The party was hell boring."
Eh/ Ay - as in "That was hell good, eh!"
Like - as in "Like, your hubby's moist panties are, like, you know, like hell good, eh"
Thought you were talking about me with the moist and panties. Those are my two least favorite words in the whole entire universe (shudder).
Just dropping in to say hi.
I hate to hear the F word.....unless it's coming out of my mouth. ;-)
I hate the words stupid, hate and panties.
I use hubby a lot! Ooops!
There are a ton of words that Fred calls me. I'm sure I would hate them if I understood French.
m.
Hum, I use the word hubby all the time in reference to my husband. For me it means comfort and security. Husband sounds too formal to me, hubs sounds like something a biker dude would use, and I can't think of another word to use. Any suggestions?
Uh oh...I don'tthink I say hubby, do I?
Oh, and I love HH.
I hate it when people call me "girlfriend".
Hubby is awful.
An ex boyfriend's step-mom hated the word belly. No idea why.
Words I hate - hmmm... I like most words; what I hate is how they're used.
Dear Hula Hank,
You are awesome.
I hope awesome is on your acceptable word list.
Sincerely,
Cheri
It's funny, because panties and moist are the two words that my daughter can not stand! She is very vocal about it...so I use them regularly (not daily, or even weekly, but when I get a chance, I like to tease her--just a bit!).
I use the word hubby because I can't think of any other way to refer to my husband on my blog. But I'll think about what you said - because he's really a nice guy and not a dopey buffoon at all. And no, I can't think of any words I hate. But I'm sure there are some.... I'll get back to you. Wow, I came for a smile and you made me think! Bad you. :)
okay, so it's not a word, but "just sayin'"
i'm okay with using 'hub' or 'hubs'...but, yeah...hubby...no. there are not a lot of friends that i don't like but....DH (darling hub) or DS (darling son) and the like......no. sorry.
i hate using D-anything..unless we are talking about a new born baby or a great pair of shoes.
on the other hand...if you're talking about English words, used wrong in Japanese that i hate? oh honey, that list is long!!!
OR....i just thought of something...i hate it when the British form of certain words is used (choccies, telly, brellies, prezzies, walkies, etc). THOSE words? make me wanna poke pinch someone. grrrrrrrr.
The word amazing is over used. Can't people find a better adjective?
I hate when people say " like" or "you know" after every. single. phrase. It's annoying!
Luncheon..hate that word. I like attending one but just wish it could be called something else. I also hate the acronym F.Y.I. (or most corporate-type acronyms).
I don't like "hubby" either - but I didn't realize it until I read your blog.
I'd like to have an internet moratorium on the word "spew" as used to describe people expressing their feelings. I find it disrespectful and dehumanizing. If you and I are having a dialogue, and one of us uses the word "spew" to describe what the other one just expressed - conversation over.
I don't mine "panites" - it makes me giggle.
Oh, goddam! I misspelled panties!
Funny - I associate hubby with snuggly, cuddly, huggy. And since I used the word moist on my most recent blog post (and crossed it out) I think its safe to say I like the word pretty well.
And since we're on pet peeve words concerning marriage, I am irritated when a man refers to his spouse as "the wife." Grrrr. Took the wife shopping. Like she's a dishrag or something.
What I hate more are people who are too old, too uncool, too dumb, whatever, to be hip trying to use hip words. And then use them wrong. Abbreviating words drives me nuts, too.
You, however, are too cool for words and can talk however you want. ;)
"Amazing" is also terribly over-used in our society... very irritating.
I gues hubby doesn't bother me. Cause I call mine
big daddy.
The word I can't stand is ejaculate.
Not that I have a problem with anyone cumming. Just would rather use a different word to describe it.
