What are some words you want to drop from your vocabulary?
Obviously I'm not referring to curse words (which would be a TOS offense to list), but other words which just make you cringe when you think about them, or words which you have been told are offensive or hurtful by others.
I'll start. These are words I really want to scrap:
- retarded (e.g. "don't be retarded"; "really? That's retarded!')
- sucks (there are people in other generations that have a very specific usage for this colloquialism)
- blows (ditto)
Your turn!! This can be a bit of an accountability thread too, if you'd like.

I want to drop all verbs from my vocabulary... In fact, I want to drop all words that can even be used as verbs from my vocabulary.
Once that is done, next is nouns.

Because I want a hard time.
(Avoiding possible verbs is hard. Couldn't even use "challenge" in that one... dang, I just used verbs... dang, used is also a verb... I fail. Grr, 'fail' is a verb.)

I'm thinking of taking a vow of silence. At least I wouldn't have to bother with thinking up clever things to say!

Ah! I just remembered one! 'Vomitrocious'.
Nevermind. I can't part with it. Plus, I don't think it is a word......

Vomitrocious... I like that one. mind if I take it? :P
The "um" word IS annoying.....especially when used after every sentence. I wanna slap people like that.
I wanna drop "Freakin". it's over used.
and "Uber" because it's just....nerdy.

anything-wise. Except for clockwise, there are no "wise" words. No weatherwise. No timewise. They don't exist. Get over them.

Also, I hate profane words. The longer I work, the more I notice them creeping into my vocab. I hate it.

potty mouth!
one of my sisters hated the words "creamy" "crunchy" and "chunky" so her friends took pictures of things that were creamy crunchy and chunky and captioned them and gave them to her as a gift. brilliant!

I want to drop the word "um" from my vocabulary. It's so bothersome!
