I hate the word “kinky”. It makes me think of desperate married couples searching vainly for a way to “spice up” their sex life. “What about these ‘vibrating nipple clamps’?” “Ooh that’s kinky!” “Yeah? Well we should get these then.” “Oh wow they’re twenty dollars, though!” “Jesus Dora, we’re trying to save our marriage here.” [...]

Patootie
Barf barf barf barf vomit barf puke barf puke throwup barf. You know who you are, people who use the word “patootie”. You’re probably a Mormon or maybe a little league coach who lures children into your dungeon to play video games. Whichever one you are, the world would be better off without you and [...]
Kerfuffle (Revisited)
I hate kerfuffle so much, I have to post about it a second time. Last year I did a post on this word, and the entirety of the post went as follows: See brouhaha. Then gouge out your eyes. Amazingly, no other word I have posted on has caused such an uproar (commotion, disturbance, furor, row). [...]
The Entire Spanish Language
My hatred of words is not just limited to specific words or phrases, but also entire lexica. This is, of course, a subjective opinion based only on facts I made up, so if you disagree with me I’ll just make something up to counter your argument. And just because I hate the Spanish language doesn’t [...]
Meme
I don’t fucking care at all that Richard Dawkins invented this word. It’s straight up horrible and nobody will point out this fact so I guess I have to. First of all, Richard Dawkins is a dick. I mean his NAME is even Dick. I’m an atheist but I think between he and Christopher Hitchens, [...]
Stand Idly By / Sit Idly By
Have you ever heard anyone use the word “idly” without this expression? No, you haven’t, because this word is mentally challenged. It is as lazy as its definition implies and needs the support of at least two other words to function. Look at its entry in the Online Etymology Dictionary. It has no history, it [...]
Plethora
Here’s a weird one where I hate the word, but I actually like it in its archaic form. In case you’ve been living in a cage in your uncle Harry’s basement, subsisting off sewer rats that venture too close to your putrid, pus-spewing, gangrenous foot, which you fractured trying to escape but were thwarted by [...]
OCD
I am a clean guy. I like my room to be tidy, my hallway to be swept, and my kitchen to be insect-free. But there are those that would accuse me of “being OCD”. This acronym, which once stood for “obsessive-compulsive disorder”, is now a simple stand-in for cleanliness, perpetrated by the denizens of filth, [...]
Meta
People, listen up and listen good. “Meta” is not an adjective. It is a prefix which can take one of two meanings: connected with a change of position or state metamorphosis metabolism higher; beyond metaphysics metalanguage But now some people have decided it would be a good idea to take this PREFIX and turn it [...]
