Seems to me we did this not long ago, but always glad to put in a bad word for these two: Appropriate Special “Appropriate” is the worst as it epitomizes what’s wrong with our society. “Appropriate” crushes creativity, suspends critical thinking, while replacing commitment and moral judgment – all in one fell swoop. (It is one special word!!) Picturing the Pope, Bin Laden, future presidential candidates and all PW spinoff fora, uniting to proclaim what they stand for: the Appropriate. (Also our local School Board defending their new budget and " explaining" my son’s educational objectives )

I think this is the most amazing superior thread. Rlly, it’s awesome. I think it’s so special, it’s appropriate to call it a classic. (For those disappointed that I didn’t include their most hated word, get a life.) later edit: BTW, I hate the phrase "get a life." Maybe it was clever the first time it was used. Now it's just a refuge for those who want to seem hip, but never had anything resembling an original thought. |

Momentarily is a pet peeve of mine as well. Tragic: overused. Ignorant: misused and of course, my least favourites from the commercial world: Signage. Net net. |

This is an easy one... My most hated word is F**k. It's a useless, tasteless and overused word. I hear some young people say in in almost every sentance using it as an adjective.

I remember in high school, the big thing was to say "That's so ignorant!" -ignorant being used as "rude." That's so annoying! |
