I agree with that, MJ... I wish there was a better term to replace it
without sounding like a jackass academic ('I flatulated...') Ah well, maybe
the future will bring us one...
But its hard to come up with an ugly-sounding word without also including
its attached definition and emotions... I'm just going to be a bystander in
this forum...

Alone: It's okay, man. Abbadon is allowed his opinions as much as anyone
else. Personally, I think all words sound ugly when they are said by Fran
Drescher.
M_J: I don't know... I actually like the word "fart". It's short, rude and
to the point. I think it appeals to my inner six year old.
Boots: *sniffle* Academics sound like jackasses...? Anyway, you don't
need to be a bystander here. It's all about opinions anyway, so there is
no room for arguing over having right or wrong answer (unless you actually
like the way "mulch" sounds... I'll argue over that!) Jump on in!

As usual, I've stopped by for my morning fix... I'll have to think about a
word that I don't like asthetically while I'm at work for the next two
days. At any rate, the reason for my post:
A friend of mine in college couldn't stand 'hamper' or 'moist.' I could see
her shudder when she said them, and she always said it was just because of
the way they sound.
Ahhh.... I just thought of one that pisses me off to no end, but only when
mispronounced. Nuclear. I hate, hate, hate it when people say, "nucular."
It's driving me nuts just just thinking about it right now! And our freakin
President says it on a regular basis. Not only is it the gross
mispronunciation that gets me, but it just sounds sloppier when it's said
that way. Arrgghhh.

I actually like some of the short U sounding words. "Slurp" is a particular
favorite. But I'm a bit of a fetishist when it comes to words. I like most
of them. On the other hand I can so get behind the hating the
mispronunciation. "nucular" always makes me cringe.
I managed to find a newsgroup posting (So the providence is a bit suspect)
that said the whole cellar door thing was originated with H.L. Mencken who
said the phrase was originally brought to his attention by a chinese
student of his. Neat, I still have to see Donnie Darko too. One of these
days, me, a bucket of popcorn the size of the moon and about a hundred
not-so new releases are going to bond.

I don't really like the way that Americans say "aluminium". Sorry guys, I'm
just used to hearing "al oo min ee um" and "al oo min um" sounds so wrong!

For some odd reason, I hate the word cunnilingus. It just...I don't know.
It irks me. It just doesn't sound pretty, I suppose.

My grandparents on my moms side are hungarian (grampa is from Transylvania,
although I'm not sure if it was part of Romania when he was growing up
there. At any rate, there's an extremely small chance I could be related to
Elizabeth Bathory, and Vlad Dracula ). Anyway, they
hate the word "the", because they have no "th" sound in their language, and
always say "tuh" instead.

I really despise "hate." It seems unfinished, and I cringe at words that
start with a pronounced "h" sound. Hospital, hurl, hot, I cannot stand
them! And "pecan" when it is pronounced pea-can. And most words that people
can represent with one letter. And the name Charlie (I even had relatives
named this, I could not stand to say their names.) And I LOATHE when
"opossum" is pronounced without the "o." The English language, especially
American English, is illogical with pronounciations and it drives me
insane. I do, however, like many words that begin with "i."
Conversely, "l' hospitale" is one of my favourite words in italian becasue
the "h" is not pronounced. "Chiacchierrare" is fun as well. I like words
that have a hard "c" sound, except for "can."

Pimple is an awful word. I don't think it's just because of the meaning,
because zit does not affect me the same way.

Nyah at Dolo! ;o)
I actually like pretty much every welsh word. The language sounds so pretty
when it's spoken properly and I wish I was a bit more fluent in it. Also I
challenge anyone here to correctly pronounce
"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantsiliogogogoch" *laughs*

Thank you Raina. I was racking my brains on that one, and would haver never
guessed it was Tolkien.
There is a word out there that I absolutly hate, but for what-ever reason I
can not recall what it was. Perhaps this is a good thing.
Vamp Court I know what you mean. I myself am a fan of those anime faces,
but sometimes people go overkill on them.

Tolkein sounds right - that would explain the reference in C.S. Lewis's
letters. He and Tolkein were close friends.

"Alert" disturbs me, but I'm not sure why.
I can't stand hearing some of the mispronunciations of "wash and
rinse"...such as "warsh and wrench"...*shudders*
"Menstruation, Menses, Menopause"...I prefer "in my period" and "don't have
periods anymore" even if it sounds less "proper".

I've always hated the word "progress" and the name "Nigel."
If my name was Nigel I'd change my name, burn every building and piece of
paper bearing my name, and kill everyone who knew it. Or kill myself but
that would be Plan B.

oh yeah,
I also hate the ways certain words are pronounced by certain people. I
used to live in St.Louis and it was worst over there. People used to say
bratwurst (brat to rhyme with hat), Warshington always pissed mee off (for
fuck sakes, there's no R in Washington(, and of course when yoo asked them
where they were from they'd say "St.Louis, Missoura." Of course I always
callde it St.Louis, Misery so I guess we're even.
Another one that bugs mee is clitoris. It should be pronounced
"cli-TOR-is" not "CLIT-or-is." Although I am willing to settle for just
"clit" for short.
