    I dislike words with the nasal E sound, specifically meal. I don’t know what but for the last three years I can’t stand the word meal. “Oh I hope you had a good MEEEEEEEeeeeal”

    Feminism

    Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.

    I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don’t feel like that’s a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.

    It is a word that’s supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they’re gonna be a reactionary bigot.

      I don’t agree. I think it’s still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it

    I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman… concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!

    Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.

    E: It appears I have misread the question. But I’ll leave my Monty Python reference here.

        Just can’t stand the way it sounds, starts with an idi like your going into something then ends with an um. It feels like someone stopped making the name partway through.

    Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.

    “Walkie-Talkie”

    Its a “Handheld Transceiver” ffs, who the fuck gave it such a stupid name lmfao

    Is a Telephone a “Chit-y-Chat-y”? A computer a “Beep-ie-Boop-ie”?

      And who would ever use a childish word like “movie”? It’s called a moving picture.

        The sandwich bit is nonsense, given that it owes his name to the Earl of Sandwich AFAIK.
