South. I want to say "Salth" so bad.

 

[JGMetalhead]

LOL Smithy? Oh my... thats such an awful word. Shit...

 

[The Butt]

Swag is not a manly word. It sucks ass.

Yer mum sucked ass.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Earth
Birth
Mirth

Sixth

smithy

what era and part of the country are you living in?

"Cooter" has got to be the most unclassy word I know. I stay far away from girls who openly say that word.

Also, at "cumfterble". I always say it as "cum-fer-tuh-ble" and it bothers my friends...makes more sense to me. I may also start saying wed-nez-day

 

[waif]

It doesn't get used much in speech, but I play videogames and read a certain amount of pulpy fantasy stuff so...whatever. Smith bothers me as well.

Dirigible. Glad we don't use this much.
Sixth also sucks.

Will, as in the legal document. I used it all the time at work and end up saying "the will will be done next week" or something stupid like that.

Also, partner. If you're not married, and too old or too serious to use "girlfriend", you're pretty much stuck with partner and all its awkward connotations.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Milquetoast is the worst word in the English language. No other comes close.

Haha, yeah that one's pretty wretched.

I may also start saying wed-nez-day

Don't do it man, it's not worth it.

On "comfortable" - I started forcing myself around my early teens to pronounce it "com-for-ta-ble" despite that everyone around me usually says "comf-ter-ble". The stupidity of that pronunciation is just more than I can bear.

Also, partner. If you're not married, and too old or too serious to use "girlfriend", you're pretty much stuck with partner and all its awkward connotations.

I know a few people who seem to have permanent "fiancées", so I guess you can use that word to avoid the connotations of "partner" if you're willing to sacrifice a little accuracy.

You could always use "significant other" but that also sounds lame

You could always use "significant other" but that also sounds lame

Or the less acceptable "My bitch"....

I hate it when people pronounce mature as mah-too-er.
In my mind that is like saying na-too-er for nature.

People that say "poontang" fucking piss me off.

jalapeno is a shitty word I hate saying.

 

[interceptor999]

jalapeno is a shitty word I hate saying.

That's Spanish.

 

[Evil?]

I considered the fact that someone would say that but decided to express my hatred for it anyway.

Proactive

Synergy
Key Performance Indicator (I know it's a term but as a group of words together it fills me with a great deal of anger so I don't care)

 

[mutantllama]

Most of those words are quite related to what my work sells.

 

[Valerie]

Elbow is strange.

I usually don't mind elision, mostly it's just a matter of convenience; but sometimes it just gets stupid with things like "prolly"

 

[SentinelSlain]

So basically Americans and other such foe can't pronounce English properly, they have to pronounce it strangely and that leads to a dislike of words which they can't really do that with.

I imagined you saying all these words in a strong Crocodile Dundee type accent
