Are there "normal" words that bug you and you refuse to use? I know many people have a problem with "moist," that one doesn't bother me too much, but with Halloween approaching, I'm reminded of how much I hate the work "spooky." I don't know why, it's just a dumb word and I hate it 
I also hate the word "panties." Perhaps because it's a word people use disparagingly. Got your panties in a bunch? I hate that phrase. I also don't care for "tummy." Even when I was a kid, I said stomach. What about you?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.They're not really words, but it bothers me to hear irregardless and orientate. Another thing that annoys me is the ignorant use of reflexive pronouns in place of objective pronouns.

I detest having to say "dick" even if it's the man's name.
The word feels rude and suggestive--like I can't look into the person's eyes after saying it.
While walking home from grammar school, a strange man asked me if I had seen a dick.
I didn't know what that was, so kept walking.

Remi:
Dick is one of my favorite swear words best combined with others such a "bag" or "weed." For example, "what kind of dick weed would bother a little girl like you just described?" Although tbh, I would use stronger language than that. Gross.
I don't know if I've ever met a person named Dick. That would be a little weird.
I have some but can't think of them right now, except for panties which you just reminded me of and pulchritude. Such an ugly word to mean beauty.

"Reach out" as in "I'll reach out to you" in stead of "I'll call you".

I don't like "tummy" or "panties" either ... both too cutesy for me, and conjures negative images.
