Ugly Words.

[andave_ya]

I think "semester" is a remarkably unbeautiful word. And I never know which syllable to stress.

What's your ugly word?

[amarna]

Wrath. Impossibile to pronounce it correctly if you're a foreigner with a tooth space. And beware of The Grapff of Wraff, they will definitely break your tongue.

Ugly words:

[higley]

"Cornucopia." I hate the word way "corn" sounds.

Also "barnacle." "Ugly" is an ugly word too. Words with "ug"--ugh.

[higley]

Ooh I hate the word "colonel" too. It's probably my least favorite word, ever.

Do you like fish sticks? Do you like to put fish sticks in your mouth?

[JuniperWoolf]

Yeah, that one sucks... especially when you're an eleven year old and you have to read it out loud in front of the entire class and pronounce it how its spelled.

[Stargazer86]

Max, I have never smelled the stench of cockroaches... I used to see them late at night walking, like in a parade on the curb in front of my house. Thankfully, I don't see them that often, now. Now I see centipedes. Furry creatures that zoom across my bedroom wall at night. Apparently they like to live in leaves, which I have plenty of.

[Lynne50]

i just reread my last post. It sounds like I live in a tent in a forest. Not so. Somehow these little critters make their way inside.

[Janine]

Lucky you that you never smelled their horrible odor! I hope you never have to, it's really disgusting!

Don't worry, same happens at my home. I have visitors like ants, roaches, spiders and whatnot. They're gonna conquer the world one day, I'm afraid. We are evidently outmatched and outnumbered by them.

Hey, Max, I think it's roaches that actually can withstand a nuclear explosion. I think, therefore, you might be right about that prediction. Maybe there is safety in numbers.

[Maximilianus]

You can bet they can! :nod:

Those little critters are radioactivity-proof and I bet they can even resist a bio hazard. Small as they may seem they have an outstanding strength. And these little ants that feed from them when they die have been acquiring a similar strength; try setting a foot upon them and you will see they don't die as fast as they used to some years ago.

[JuniperWoolf]

Hmm, sounds like someone doesn't like science jargon.

[Lady Otter]

slick


ick.....sounds just right.

Hey Max, I did read once it's true they can resist a lot. I bet bio-hazards as well. I know, we got these stupid pesky ants in our kitchen; it's been happening that last few years. We don't know where they are coming from but they are mega tiny and strong. You squish them and they keep on wiggling. I want a fast death for the things out of compassion. We have about 6 ant buttons out on our counters and I think they walk right past them. Not only are they getting stronger but also smarter. Pretty soon they will probably appear on Litnet!

The next step in ant evolution: LIT-NETTER ANTS :lol:

[intoxicatedsoul]

fire fighter! such a tongue twister!

[Stargazer86]

Sniff is an unappealing word

[LMK]

seat

For some reason, I have gone to great lengths to avoid this word.

[Janine]

The next step in ant evolution: LIT-NETTER ANTS :lol:

It took me a long time to think of a word that I don't like besides "crystal," that is honestly ugly and not just describing an ugly thing and that word is:
Rag.
It feels wrong in my mouth.

[weltanschauung]

Puss.



Ewwwwwww.

haha.
how about "moist" and "soggy".
god, i hate those words.

and "wrath" is a beautiful word1 just like "fury".
say it! its sounds so magestic. like music.

[Janine]

grungy
grubby
grouchy
gunky

[Maximilianus]

:lol::D:lol: !!!....good one, Max!
Thank you! :p :D

I dislike ragtag too. It sounds quite derogatory.

... and "wrath" is a beautiful word1 just like "fury".

I like them both too. Both wrath and fury :thumbs_up

[Lynne50]

Friction.... doesn't it seem like the two syllables are rubbing each other the wrong way.

[*Classic*Charm*]

Purge

[mrsmtpspur]

mine right now is.....Lawnmower(AKA Snapjaws)

Purge

[Maximilianus]

Hmm... maybe if we file their coarse edges they would rub each other smoothly... :lol:

I dislike mummy. It sounds very much as mommy, and if my mom were an English speaker and I called her mommy she'd believe I'm calling her mummy. Mommies don't like to be called mummies, you know. :rolleyes:

[Haunted]

madam; ma'am

You can tell I just came from the Ladies, what don't you like to be called by men? thread

[Haunted]

here's another one: Twitter

[Maximilianus]

Nah, how could we? ... :p

Another one I don't like: "doll".
It's fine for toys, but not when it's used to call a lady. To call someone a "doll" sounds diminishing... to me.

I actually love to be called doll (duh). I'm a doll, not a lady :p

[Maximilianus]

Dolls are ladies too... or is it that ladies are dolls? ... :p

[Haunted]

Dolls are ladies too... or is it that ladies are dolls? ... :p

I would say they're interchangeable, yes, depending on the lighting...

[JuniperWoolf]

I like that too. It makes me feel like I'm in an old detective story.

[Janine]

I like that too. It makes me feel like I'm in an old detective story.

hahah...with Humphrey Bogart?

[Janine]

Here's some ugle 'g' word, in my opinion

gastly
gord
goad
gruesome
gross
ganglia

[Lynne50]

hackle.... it sounds like you're trying to cough up a hairball..

[Lady Otter]

I always thought that "coruscate" was a terrible word for sparkly.

[Lynne50]

Boy, that word coruscate, sure does take all the fun out of glitter and sparkle. It's nice to know that our language continues to evolve.

[Janine]

hackle.... it sounds like you're trying to cough up a hairball..

Good one Lynne! LOL

Are these words ugly, because we associate them with ugly dispicable things or are the words also ugly sounding?

Ok

pimples
pox
cysts
fissures
warts
moles
bunions
sickening
oozing
festering

[Janine]

wow, strange word...coruscate...how can one beat that one....?

[JuniperWoolf]

hahah...with Humphrey Bogart?
Of course. I can't think of anyone else who would make a better Sam Spade.

[Janine]

Of course. I can't think of anyone else who would make a better Sam Spade.

JuniperWoolf, yes, indeed...and how about Marlowe in Chandler's The Big Sleep? I just had seen that movie, after I posted that comment. I guess that Bogey played quite a few detectives in his day.

[Janine]

Isn't it strange what repulsion the word "pimple" evokes, but the word "dimple" we think of as most times amusing?
