    Probably not surprising, but I think I'd pick "cunt." Yes, I know assholes would just find a new word to use that they spit like venom, but I seriously fucking hate that word. I especially hate it because people go OH WELL IT ISN'T CONSIDERED AS BAD IN THE UK and I do not give a fuck, you aren't from the fucking UK.

    (Unless you are, in which case I still do not care! U S A! U S A!)

    NSFW language, as you might guess.

    I went to see "The Vagina Monologues" with my boss a while back. We're both steadfast liberal feminist women, but it was still a bit awkward for me -- it's a work relationship after all. One of the most awkward bits was the bit spoiled below (NSFW, obviously)


    It's worth seeing the whole thing if you get a chance by the way.

    I think my answer to the question would be either "literally," because I want to figuratively strangle everyone who misuses it, or "ironic," because ever since that fucking song I have no idea what it actually means (but I KNOW it's not like rain on your wedding day. Ironic would be worrying about rain, moving your wedding to a sunny California beach, and falling into the sea in the Big One. I THINK).

    I have, and I even own a copy of the script. I still fucking hate that word. :)

    'Rejected'. Easily the most abysmal word in the English language.

    Interface, when not used as a technical word describing an actual interface.

    The words I hate are generally swearwords. I hate the word 'slut' because it's usually directed at women. And like Sjofn, I hate the word 'cunt', which is unfortunate for me because a lot of people in Australia seem to use that word on a daily basis.

    Especially when you're trying to find work and applying to jobs like mad D:

    Or applying for grant money so that you can continue paying the TA. Wish me luck, currently writing.

    Edit: And of course all the luck in the world to you !
