What is your least favorite word in the english language?

[coloradodem2005]

Mine is "sell". Why? "You have to sell yourself." It is not the definition of the word so much as how it is used. Everything that is done these days seems to be about how it will sell. When people talk about selling an idea, a piece of music or themselves, it is very disingenuous. It shows that it is not about how good the person or the product really is but it is about selling it.

I was going to post "puke" and then I saw yours. I also dislike "clearly" because it's SO overused. And "literally" when it's used to mean "figuratively." :toast:
