30 Days of Lists: Day 19

Words I Despise
  1. Bling
  2. Corpse
Honestly, I tried long and hard to make this list longer, but the word bling irritates me so much that I couldn't think of anything that even comes close! Corpse is creepy to me, and horrible things come to mind when I read or hear the word (greasy, cold, dead bodies), but even that isn't as bad as bling. It feels so uneducated to me, especially when more accurate words can be used to describe what that "bling" is--glitter, rhinestones, diamonds, shimmer, shine... (And for the record, I want you to know that my computer is flagging the word "bling" as misspelled. It's not even a real word!)

What is one of your least favorite words?

  1. You're so funny! I like the word shiny much better, too!

    I think the word that really gets to me is when someone uses God's name in vain. It's like a punch in the stomach.

  2. That goes without saying! But I'm looking at just the words, and their meaning, not how someone uses them. The way someone uses them changes them completely.
