I dislike words with the nasal E sound, specifically meal. I don't know what but for the last three years I can't stand the word meal. "Oh I hope you had a good MEEEEEEEeeeeal"
Literally.
Because holy fuck, Carter, learn a new word.
Bro. Are you kidding me right now? Are you kidding me bro? Bro. Bro.
Like literally 😆
Feminism
Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.
I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don't feel like that's a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.
It is a word that's supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they're gonna be a reactionary bigot.
I don't agree. I think it's still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it
What could I call myself to show I am a feminist, but not that type of feminist.?
I personally feel like anyone who's not a bigot IS by nature a feminist at least in a solidarity for the ENTIRE human race sense, but keep in mind, this is coming from my perspective as a male, so I might be missing something by virtue of it not regularly impacting me personally.
I'd love a less-abused word, personally.
As a guy, I don't think I'd WANT to call myself a feminist, lest I be incorrectly associated with the likes of Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, or a whole host of other clearly NON-feminists who hid behind the word to cover their actions.
Equalitarian?
I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman... concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!
Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.
E: It appears I have misread the question. But I'll leave my Monty Python reference here.
Well my dear there were only 6 words in that question.
Ointment… it sounds so gross
'Woke' when used as a perjorative.

Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me
What's wrong with idiom?
Just can't stand the way it sounds, starts with an idi like your going into something then ends with an um. It feels like someone stopped making the name partway through.
Sorry
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
