If you could wipe 3 words from existence, which would you choose?

Words that are hard to say. Irritating to spell. Or, just ones you really don't like. Here are mine:

  1. Worcestershire
  2. Rural
  3. Handkerchief

I'd get rid of
Black
White
Hispanic.

@silvereyes Exactly my point. I think the entire Identity Politics arguement is a complete waste of time.

As long I can call myself Latino, that is what I really am... knock yourself out. You must be yellow I reckon, I meant oriental.

@silvereyes on the absolute point!

@GipsyOfNewSpain Enlighten me on what you're actually saying - I think I get it, but I'm wildly unsure. kisses

@GipsyOfNewSpain actually, I am pinkish with brownish spots. Can't find that anywhere on the form...

@Dwight Black and White are colors found in a Crayola Box... hispanic? not in my Crayola Box. If you would had said brown... I would had said no comment but the racist always concerned how not to be seen as racist.

@Dwight It is never what you are in the outside is what you are in the inside. I wish I can continue but don't have time and you got to get working on those colors and 1 cultural group to remove from your life.

Hmmmm.

cunt,swamp thing, Donald trump

Swamp Thing loves you though!

I like the word cunt. It just rolls off the tongue.

Somehow "cunt" said in Scottish or Australian accent is less offensive.

My ex called me cunt and swamp thing-despise

I think cunt is ok as slang for a vagina. I like dirty words during sex.
But not used as insult.

  1. Incorrigible.
  2. Choice. (80's expression meaning cool)
  3. Yuge.

I love YUGE!!

@HippieChick58 That is how to say huge in eastern America.

So...basically cockney without the british accent. Classy.

@silvereyes Trump version of huge.

@evestrat Every time I hear it I think of Jim Carrey saying it in a weird way. It was either in Ace Venture or Mask.

Cecrete, fester and orifice

Sacha Level 7 Jan 21, 2018

@silvereyes Yes you definitely don't want anything festering and cecreting out of any of your orifices lol

Wait...do you mean secrete...?

@Neraven OMG! Thankyou! How embaressing

@Sacha Embarrassing* ;P

@Neraven Geezus, I am not doing to well am I? Blame it on just waking up before coffee 😉

LOL, I love Worcestershire, I would eliminate Queue, really 4 of the letters are redundant. I would eliminate IRREGARDLESS which is not a word but people keep using it.

I love the word queue.

@Naeem In my head "Queue" is kwiwi TOO

  1. Retarded, it’s just unnecessary.
  2. Supposebly, it’s not a word but people use it.
  3. Anywho, I just cringe.

@silvereyes And by may more attention you mean pay right 😉

Is retarded not useful at least until we get some proper leaders or do away with them all together?

No, there are many other names for the unproper leaders. I think the word "retarded" has a stigma about it that needs to go. Being creative to name the unproper leaders is advisable, (and fun). Otherwise the word to me is an ignoramus one.

I have to go with “libtard.” Not really a word I know but still... other than that I would vote for words that are used to diminish and marginalize people. Like n***** and faggot.

@MrLizard it's fag for cigarette.

faggots are also a kind of meatballs in sauce

chihuahua

Can we get rid of those little nappy dogs too?

@SonderOpia Exactly, the word and the animal, both can go.

Punting dogs!

All puppies are sweet!

Dysdiadochokinesia because I usually can't spell it, seriously, imagine you are dyslexic.
Micturate, becaise it is so much easier to just say P off,
Autistic because I don't believe in it, just because someone isn't neuro-typical doesn't mean they necessarily have problems, they merely sit somewhere different on the bell curve.

Well, it randomly refreshed so...fantastic. I have lost atleast a couple dozen job opportunities because of terror of phone calls. I am too honest and almost entirely oblivious to subtle cues. Cant handle bright liht (though also have blue eyes), loud and/or sudden sounds (hypervigilance also to blame), and need two feet around me around strangers - and if you hug me or touch just about anything other than my hand in a handshake or my shoulder or back in a brief and supportive gesture and youre not a close friend (or someone ive learned to tolerate like select family members), prepare for a very speedy withdrawal and/or awkward interaction, and also a pained look on my face. PTSD exacerbates the whole touching issue immensely though, im sure.

@Neraven I am severely dyslexic, and have been diagnosed with autism and yes I am well aware that my brain does not work the same as many, that I totally lack anything close to emotional intelligence and I apparently offend people often and usually unintentionally just through honesty. I don't hug anyone except my children, not even lady friends, people can read this readily enough and don't try to hug me. Yet I don't think I am flawed, just different.

I don't think it means one is flawed either - well i mean were all flawed technically. But not in a way that should make people revile or step on eggshells around us, of course. I think what youre saying simply comes down to cultural perception having coloured the word negatively, much like feminist.

Oh yeah, feminazi and libtard can go.

I use feminazi for radical feminists though, the ones who are basically anti-men...having to explain that every time sort of defeats the purpose though i suppose lol

@Neraven Oh, how do you explain that being anti-men is the equivalent of people who murdered and enslaved tens of millions of people?

  • "particularly" (I sound like I have a speech impediment whenever I say it)
  • "synergy" (It's such a jargon-y word)
  • "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" (Nah, I'm actually okay with that one, but it's funny so I included it)

@silvereyes "If you're afraid of big long words, here's one you should know-a: hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!" 😉

I asked my wife this one... she said.

  1. The C word
  2. The N word
  3. The F word
    A women's point of view.

@Naeem Cunt lol

Faith, Hope, and Prayer. Three words that don't do Jack squat for man kind as a whole.

@silvereyes hope along with faith came out of Pandora Box and everything that came out of that box was evil to me. Love the old Greek Mythology. That's my lame excuse for Hope. The only way I except hope is cause no entity is involved no god no religion. but hope also seems to be another flip of the coin. It almost seems like accepting the thought of defeat or negative events or bad karma. But I get what your saying you need words like hopes to make reality interesting or victory more savoring I guess. Like when the Falcons lost the Super Bowl last year to the Patriots. I don't even want to go there. I'm still ticked of about that game. Or Georgia loosing to Alabama uhgg I'm so leaving this state. If I was a hopeful person. I would stay here. So yeah guess hope is good for some. No need to scratch from dictionary. I'll replace it with (Duh) can't stand that word. I just want to slap people that say that to me right after they say it.

Hank Williams junior.

He's already gone but not forgotten.

I wasn’t aware of that, but I don’t listen to music I find offensive. @Dwight

  1. The N word.
  2. Smegma
  3. Cunt, unless said in Australian or Scottish accent.

I haven't heard #2 in YEARS!

@silvereyes I can't for the life of me find my post...did you delete it? Or did people report it cuz i didnt censor the n word? For the purposes of this post, and since everyone else is too scared of the damn word, i felt it necessary to spell it out. But it seems thats wrong somehow. -eye roll-

Thats cool to hear. I imagine it was probably people flagging me or something then. Oh well, i guess.

Greed, disrespect, hate well the emotions that went with the words would also need to be eradicated.

Most other words are just that, words, some mean, vile, stupid... sticks and stones...

I can't think of three but I have trouble pronouncing Sunglasses.
It always comes out Sungle Asses.

Worcestershire is a county in the UK. If you removed that word from existence, 583,100 people suddenly wouldn't have a word for where they live.

Some non words like shouldof ( should be should have) things like irregardless ( ewww) and people saying woman when they mean women. But there is another whole bundle of words I deplore, like : collateral damage and ethnic cleansing (nothing to do with getting anything clean)

I love saying collateral damage...xD

inevitable - I find this difficult to say without stumbling at the third syllable. So I just say "meant to be".

pickle - This confused me as a kid. I thought there was an actual vegetable called pickle.

And while we're at it: "vegetable". Just recently, I learned that it's not a "thing". I add it to the list for trivia and the LOLs. Here's an argument against the word "vegetable": [huffingtonpost.com.au]
