It's no secret that I love to read and write, I mean I'm an English Major. I also
love words themselves. I've taken a couple of classes simply to understand what words are on a more fundamental level as well including a few wonderful years of latin (latin for life!) and linguistics. There are some words I will always hate the sound of. For whatever combination of their meaning- both implied and definition- and sound, I flinch a little bit when I hear any of the following and I absolutely do not use any of these words in my writing/speech:
Treat
Supple
Yolk
Chunk
Moist
Ointment
Pus
Placenta
Suffice
Paltry
Loaf
Tasty
Mayonnaise
Sliver
Slurp
What words freak you out?
