    penalise/penalize... we had a teacher in highschool whose pleasure in making frequent threats to 'heavily penalise' girls caught 'doing the wrong thing' still gives me the heeby-geebies...

    ^ mucus and puss :sick:

    Haha, my mom always used to end her msgs to me with "Puss" which means Kiss in Swedish. I told her to use something else so now she writes Kiss instead. Funny thing is that kiss in Swedish means "pee" (noun)...anyway, I don't like the word Coitus.
    :lol:
    :lol:

    I'd also add scrotum to the list :?

    literally

    Because of its overuse and misuse.

    "I literally died yesterday." Unless you did die and come back to life, that sentence is not correct!

    Biggie as in "it's no biggie".

    idiot children using 'verse' as a verb form
    of 'versus'?

    As in, "The Broncos are versing the Ravens today."

    PUNCH! FACE! KI-YAH!

    Because 'bespoke' is not the same as 'custom-made'? I would rather have a bespoke dress than one that has been custom made.

    CBG.. I find scrotum is a funny word.... :oops:

    I don't have a problem with words as such (except the 'made up' ones) but how they are used. I really dislike any type of jargon.

    'asked' only because it drives me bloody mad when people say 'axed' instead. Grrrrrr :x

    Hi funny thread... Mind if I join? It annoys me when people use medical terminology when it's not necessary. Such as "he had a lot of emesis today." It's vomit. Just say it like it is and stop trying to impress others. Emesis gets punched in the face for sure.

    thorough
    through
    tough
    thought

    and any other words that have silent multi letter combinations. Why did they ever exist to begin with?
