Words You Hate: In alphabetical order (game, discussion)

[YmaOHyd]

I like that word a lot.

Alex, the male protagonist of my first story, giggles. Albeit a little indirectly.
"[...]Sara wheezed, unable to stop giggling, and Alex soon joined her."

So does James in the story I'm currently working on. To me it's a way of laughing that conveys a specific state of mind or mood - which, sure may be more common in, but isn't specific to women and children. Or maybe I'm just weird.

Next word: Hullo
Afaik the word from which Hello originates. It was more of an expression of surprise or interest "Hullo, what's this?"
Very few people use it now, but the way it looks when spelled out bothers me, for reasons I can't pinpoint.

Current word: Hullo

I've seen 'hello,' of course, and 'hullo,' but I've also seen 'halloo' used. To me, 'hello' is neutral, 'hullo' suggests a sorta agricultural blue-collar person and 'halloo' suggests an old man with a tentative grasp of volume control just hollerin' because he can't hear himself talk anymore.

Current word is hullo.

Next word, Gullible

Did you know that the word Gullible was actually put at the very back of early dictionaries, so that I could make this joke to see if I could trick anyone fitting the description?

Err.. the new word is: Interquel
No, just no. If it's before a thing then it's a prequel to that thing, if it's after then it's a sequel to that thing. I guess you could technically have something taking place during the middle part of something else, but other than that, this term makes no sense.

The word is: Interquel

On this note, and it's not a word I hate so I'm not using it, requel is another one you're starting to see. A requel is a story that simultaneously operates as a reboot/remake and a sequel, usually a legacy sequel. The best example of a requel is maybe the 1996 Mission: Impossible, which is simultaneously a sequel to the TV show and a complete reboot of the franchise.

The current word is interquel.

 

[ADirtyPerv]

Inure. Not injure, inure.

That word sucks.

 

[TheLobster]

Interquel

It’s not so much that it doesn’t make sense, since the definition is fairly obvious. But it’s just pointless and unnecessary.

Sure, you can say that Rogue One is an interquel to Star Wars. It’d say practically nothing as to where exactly it fits. It’s much more to the point to clarify it comes before A New Hope, and if you do then you no longer need this clumsy word at all.

Current word: inure.

 

[ColtonWrites]

Giggle.

Kids do it, but then only some kinds of women do it. It's weird that it has a gendered connotation in adults. I guess because a giggle is high pitched? I overuse this word for sure, mostly because dialogue tags are exhausting.

Women get to laugh, too, is what I'm saying here.

I definitely let my men giggle, but only in very narrow contexts. Men usually "chuckle".

I've noticed that I tend to have the women "moan" while the men "groan" in the same context, too.

Current word: inure

The only place where interquel would make sense would be a sequence of films is released out of order, I think. I wouldn't describe Rogue One as an interquel, because it's not a sequel to Revenge of the Sith. It's a prequel for New Hope, but it doesn't continue any of the storylines or use the characters from RotS. So your interquel would have to be, like, if Lucas made New Hope then Return of the Jedi and went back for Empire. Or if Amazon threw massive amount of money at Daniel Craig to do one more Bond movie set between Spectre and No Time to Die, continuing the story of his relationship with Lea Seydoux whose character's name I cannot remember. People not to tell stories like that, though.

Current word is inure.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Harang or harangue


Neither is like a meringue.


That's my rant.

 

[Off_base]

Harass.

Ironically. It had to have been decided by a man, because it sounds too much like her ass.

Current word:
Harass

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Juxtaposition.

Too long, too hard to spell.

And it seems to have happened with the G, H and I words.

 

[ADirtyPerv]

Harass.

Current word:
Harass

"Harass her ass". I love it phonetically, not so much on what it actually says.

Current word: juxtaposition

Current word: juxtaposition

Aww, I wanted to sneak in “jettison” because it reminds me too much of the Jetsons, and I’m pretty sure I saw at least one story use it to describe ejaculation.

But alright, the current word is still juxtaposition.

No. I reject "jettison" as a cum word. Nope. Ew

Still "juxtaposition"

Stark light, deep shadow
Juxtaposition whispers
Where meanings collide

Too uppity

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Kanamits.



They'll eat you. Literally.


They even wrote a book about it.



It's a cookbook.

Libation

It sounds like euphemistic doublespeak, but it's for something which doesn't call for euphemistic doublespeak.

 

[ADirtyPerv]

Linoleum. I've lived in too many houses lined with the stuff, and I hate the way it curls and cracks.

 

[YmaOHyd]

Libation

It sounds like euphemistic doublespeak, but it's for something which doesn't call for euphemistic doublespeak.

It's a great word for a very specific thing that rarely comes up, and people use it to mean something it doesn't. Deeply annoying. The current word is linoleum.

 

[Britva415]

I still like "pouring one out for the homies" better.

Linoleum

Kind of like mastication. Especially when you vigorously masticate a thick sausage.

I guess that can be the word then: mastication.
