Discussion If you could forbid one word, which would it be?

[saringceiling]

I thought about the word duty and wondered if other people also have words they absolutely despise and wanna forbid. It doesn't matter which language your word comes from, just why do you hate it? Silly reasons go too!

I'll start: I hate the word duty because the word has been such a pain in the butt for my life. I hate the sound of it a lot too

I like the sound and feel of the word 'conversation' but for some reason I'm tired of hearing it. Maybe it's how people use it, not sure.

Reckon mine is very similar to yours- 'Have' as in- 'You HAVE to do this'- you HAVE to support yourself. You HAVE to fulfil your obligations. You HAVE to keep going. You HAVE to try and stay positive... When in reality- we don't HAVE to do anything- it's merely what's expected of us.

Positive. My Mom keeps using that word. She complains that I keep my problems to myself. It's because she will reply with "You're too sensitive/Just forget about it/Think positive" I feel that she is being dismissive. So, I begin to dislike the word.

I totally understand you on that. It's always "conversation here, conservation important!", but it's one of the overused terms these days.. and then there is no conversation too!

100%. I always laughed when I was younger and someone said "we don't have to do anything, everything is optional.", but it's true! And I don't see anything bad in it, the expectations put on us tho? A whole different story /:

Ahh! "YoU arE tOo SenSiTiE", I am fuming just reading it, positivity is I think like conversation such a overused word! Everybody tries to "spread" it but no one really knows how that works anymore. /: it's sad and I hope that maybe one day people learn how to just exist and be, but that's an Eutopia.. :(

Well my first thought was the hard r since I have history of abusing it back when I was the worst version of myself. Another one would probably be failure, because of how much I despise the idea of it.

 

[H.O.Xan]

probably 'responsibility' and 'incel'. People for sum reason, love slapping those words everywhere

 

[ImsooDone1N]

Life Hack.. You can't "hack" life & they are not "life hacks" so much as they are generally the right way to do things if you just followed the instructions.

 

[cielherpes]

quench and splurt, and ugly, words that are used in horrible sentences and sound just as

 

[RW__Asher23]

actually 2 words "Good" and "hear"/Hear me/listen!.......... but those last two are because you all say them but I am "Deaf" I can't "Hear" "Listen!"

 

[dp 14]

Annoying. i can not stand that word, so many people have called me annoying and i immediately shut down. i try so hard to be quiet but if im comfortable with people then i talk and if someone calls me annoying, i will not speak in front of them again

 

[Das Nichts]

Not a single word, but the concepts "work life balance" and "self optimziation" really get the blood pumping.

 

[szk]

I get unnervingly angry when I hear the word 'giving' only because of how much it's overused nowadays to the point it's aggravating

 

[BringMeToLife]

"Dick" this word reminds me of perverts from the internet saying things like "Do you want to see daddy's big dick?" and I get disgusted after hearing or seeing it.

 

[CTB Fella]

"Capacity."

The mental health "service" just loves to use that word.

 

[Heavenbound]

Awesome.
It's so overused. It really grates on me when people drag it out...."awwwwwesome". Can't stand it.

 

[Kodokushi]

Some influencer talk. Like promoting or shaming maybe. You can't live your life in peace you're promoting an X behavior or you can't voice your personal opinion you're X-shaming. I don't mean it in a negative way or using it when it's justified, it's just some people took those words to the extreme and use them outside of proper meaning, overuse for no reason or use them just to shut you up, and the more these things happen, the more I want to block all influencers altogether

Sentence-wise, if I'll hear "everything will be fine" once again today I will SCREAM!

 

[cristata]

"Mindset." Many people have told me that I can't keep being mopey and whatnot and need to change my mindset before things can get better. Whenever I try to tell myself positive things though, it just makes me feel worst.

[Ai-chan]

I would forbid "the"

I just want to see the chaos that would result

 

[silent star]

Harder/hard or try, "You have to try harder" "You have a bright future you just have to try harder" "you're not trying hard enough" " I don't feel sorry for you you're not trying hard enough" I do try hard enough, what would you know

 

[BruhXDDDDD]

"Deserve" and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

 

[Float On Okay]

I would forbid "the"

I just want to see the chaos that would result

You stole my joke… curses.

 

[jolongone]

Retard, absolutely hate it
