What is a word that just makes you...

It's not even a bad word. It's just a word that sounds icky, squicky, or like nails on the chalkboard of your mind.

For me it's flesh. 😬

🫵 Your turn!

uh-oh......looks like we are going there today, lol 😊 No worries, it's a Fri-yay! 🥳 We earned this bit of fun! Weeeeeeeee weeeeeeeeeee! 😊


I'll preface this with I have some really rotten friends (hhaha ahhahha 😊) of whom I deeply admire, respect and adore! ❤️ Hey, funny is funny! They torment me with their humor from time to time. (Have no idea why they do so? 🤔  Of course I am most innocent in all of this *grin* 😁 )


Words that creep me out, make me cringe that I can say here (keepin' it clean folks) are moist, yogurt, but when you just shorten it to "gurt" and girth. Girth wasn't even a "me thing" until a friend of mine decided they were freaked out by the word and so then said it "at me" all of the time, lol 😊 Mission accomplished buddy. I now cringe along with you! My friends know about the other two words also and use them as often as possible. The saga continues. 😊


Might I say H, excellent choice of "flesh" being your cringe word. Ooof! Recently watched a documentary on The Unabomber Vs. Dommer and how they stack up against one another for being psychopaths when comparing their PCL-R's. If I had a nickel for every time they said the word "flesh", well.....I'd have a whole lot of nickels. Nopie, nope, nope. That word makes my skin crawl now also, *smirk* 🤭. 


(As an aside, if inquiring minds want to know, Dommer won by a long shot. 33 was his score)!  


Thanks again for the fun forum post! 😊 I enjoyed (wait for it....wait for it.........) fleshing out these thoughts. 


*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️

@Olive1Q82 I didn't know "circle back" was corporate in any way. What does it mean?

Our new Toxic Micromanager came from wells Fargo and she always asks us what our "bandwidth" is and always says "more to come on that" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

@Olive1Q82 I agree re the first word. As someone who's been investing for a good while, I consider "shareholder" adequate. It's a technical term that has been around for a long time. "Stakeholder" is pretentious...a word used by people who are anxious to prove how business-savvy they are. People who are truly savvy (about anything) don't feel a need to prove it to everyone they meet.

@calmmoon2104 I agree. Needless redundancy is rather irritating, especially when someone indulges in it constantly.

When people get or show small cuts or incisions. If it's big like a gash or a full on stab I'm okay, but like thin slices or clean sharp cuts are 🤢
