Is there are a certain word that you hate simply because of the sound of it?

For me I always hated the word 'toe!' :x

Divorce

It's the process of ripping a man’s heart and genitals out through his wallet.

I hate the word "sixth". It's so clumsy-sounding!
Like whenever I say something like "sixth sense", I always have to slow down to say it.

Not to mention numbers, which bring up such terms as "sixty-sixth" or "six sixths." :roll:

I find almost any word with a "ck" at the end of a word cringe worthy. Back, crack, lick, stick, shock, stock...

And at least two others that I won't mention. :lol:

I also hate having to pronounce "regularly". To many Ls and Rs. When I was younger one of my own teachers asked if I was Asian or something because I had such a hard time saying it. Racist?

Never thought about it before, but yeah...it IS hard as heck to say!

Say it several times fast:

You end up saying "wriggly,wriggly,wriggly,...!".

I don't hate any worlds but I do sometimes hate the context words get used for.

"Awww!"

That sound people make when they see a baby or a puppy or a boy scout helping an old lady cross the street. Makes my blood pressure rise.

I like it when women make that sound about me.
