    @mamimami: Hahah, that reminds me of Orange is the New Black! The one characters name is Poussey, and they pronounce it like that all the time. hahaha

    @Mrs. Taco: Yeah, I hate that one too.

    To add another inappropriate word to the list, I hate the word boobies. My DH used to use it wayyyyy too much, I put a ban on that word. You're a grown-ass man and that is not attractive!

    Someone I went to high school with would lose it if you said the word fiesty, it drove her insane.

    Most slang for genetalia: pussy, cock, dick. Oh, and titties.

    I swear I'm not a prude! Those words just sleeve me out.

    I can not stand "cray" or "cray cray". Seriously, how is cray cray short for crazy? Why is the z gone? It kills me that I just had to type that! Totes and adorbs are annoying too.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned my least favorite word: douche. I HATE it and all its variations.

    @babyjmama: Agree with the c-word!!!! I HATE it so much!!!! No one should use that word EVER!

    @autumnlove: Oh god, you would hate me. I say chillax all the time...

    @rahlyrah: Agreed on all the vulgar forms of genetalias!

    Otherwise, all the other words above don't bother me, but here's a wacky one - snakes. That word gives me the chills every.single.time. I can't stand them at all, not even as cute stuffed animals. I'd totally die of a heart attack right then and there so just looking at the word made me shudder.

    I hate the word 'toot.' I think it's so stupid and I'd much rather say fart. Also, like many above panties drives me bonkers.

    @Freckles: I second titties - ugh.

    @LuLu Mom: oh, I hate it when people refer to sex as humping.

    @rahlyrah: I'll use toot for younger kids, too--fart just sounds too grown up for a baby!

    @Happygal: You made me think of another, my MIL asks LO if she "bubbled" instead of toot/fart. THIS DRIVES ME BONKERS just ask if she tooted!

    Omg I just remembered-a friend of mine, her SIL doesn't let her kids say they pooped. 'Mama! I need a wipe! Big brown! Big brown!'

    Her kids have to say they had a 'big brown' instead of poop.

    @mamimami: puberty is indeed awful. also pubic.

    @fussygal: yeah, this is really awful. someone I recently met used this word within an hour of my meeting them (we were talking about babies, I swear) and I was immediately like, "well, I guess we'll never be friends." I might reconsider later, but...

    I hate "gift" as a verb and "treat" (either a verb or a noun). Why??

    Oh my. Cunt is one of my very favorite words. I don't have negative associations with it though. I use it ironically or in a positive way. so sad to hear all the cunt hate!

    Panties is stupid though. I'm with y'all on that one.

    @mjane: Haha - I feel ya. My family uses it around my nephew (which I get...I guess) but still! I need to come up with an alternative for when our LO gets here.

    I need to add the word "scrimps" instead of shrimp. It makes me want to punch people. My husband says it all the time just to piss me off.

    I hate the word pube! Ewwww

    Also, my in-laws say "tee-tee" instead of pee to their dogs. They have started asking LO if he is tee tee ing. NO. He's PEEing. He's not a dog!

    I hate the word moist and polyps. Polyp is such a gross word to me. Yuck.

    @Mrs. Taco: oh gosh I have a hilarious story for you! In elementary school, I did not like my name because it was always shortened to Kim. So there would be jokes about calling me Kim Chi (a Korean cabbage side dish). So at the beginning of my 5th grade year, I asked the teacher to call me Suzie and figured that's a classic American name so it would be safe from the teasing zone. But this one boy started calling me Soosie Pussy and it was awful! So a week later, I just asked her to keep it as Kimberly! LOL Kids are so mean!!!

    My favorites are listed - moist (because it makes me think of the next one), pussy, and I hate the c-word.

    While not cringeworthy on their own because of vulgar ties, I HATE when people say "I seen this" or "I seen her." And warsh. Where the hell did the r come into the word?!

    I love the word panties. I think it's hilarious and like to call men's underwear as male panties!

    Ointment...so gross! I guess it's the "oy" sound like in "moist" that bothers me

    @indi: hahaha my husband's family says "warsh!" His grandma also used to say "garsh!" instead of "gosh!" and I thought it was hysterical

    When I read the title of this thread I though "Nah, there are no words that make me cringe" because I love the C word - but that's probably because I know people that only the C word can accurately describe!

    But then I read this thread...... and ....UGH! Titties?? Whaaaaaat? Yuk! Pube?? Noooooo!!! These are some nasty words!

    @grizz: We call E's nappies her piss-wrappers. Is that okay?!!

    @Cherrybee: hahahaha! Every time MIL calls diapers panties, I'm going to call them piss wrappers.

    i can't believe no one has mentioned this word, but i think using "cum" is awful, especially in just general conversation. i mean, just no.

    also, as a side note, my mil, years ago, once referred to pubic hair as cunt hair, and i still haven't recovered...

    @jmarionsmith: I agree with you about the other *c* word. And I totally LOLd at your MIL! Talk about wanting to erase a memory! *shudder*
