Words I don't much care for

Ointment, meme, jerkoff, salve, cooties, grunt, kipper, peter, skank, gurgle, dink, mildew, wiener, panties (and undies, for that matter), uffda, meat, deese (short for decent), ooze, moist, pimple, titties (or teats), fanny, hairy, bird, snickerdoodle, gaucho, giggle, funnier, mature (if pronounced ma-tour...ma-chure is fine), goober, keeper, grody, spank, vino (unless said by an Italian or Spaniard), Spaniard, party (if used as a verb), spittle, hyper (okay as a prefix), creamy, pad and any word that comes from combining a person's name with a real word (such as dale-icious, not to say you're not delicious, dale...it's just a word that came to mind).

Oh. And words misspelled for "cleverness." Spelling is not something to play with.

I also hate the word ball. But I had to stop someplace.

I am glad to know that I am not alone in my word hating. I hate Hankie, and Dickie and chief, and hankerchief for that matter. The give me the willies.

I'm a big fan of the word jerkoff opposed to jack off.

I like all words and am not troubled buy word avoidance. I do not, however, like it when Americans pronounce words like "process" in the British way. Speak like an American, damn it.

See, I think wank sounds better, Grant.

B, assuming you didn't misspell for cleverness, so I'll give you some slack.

I'll use these words, but I do so grudgingly and with a bit of a grimace (which is a word I adore.)
