What is one word you never say? Why?

Topics: unused words
When my grandmother passed away people were telling me "I'm sorry." It made me feel worse and despise the word so I never use it in serious situations.
How about you?

Enough-
That's funny. Enough is one of my favorite words. I use it all the time. As in: "Enough is as good as a feast." -
Nuffsanff................now that's a good word
-
-
Can't honestly say there is one. First thing that came to mind were racial epithets-but even those I guess have their time and place.
-
Don't use those either.
-
-
I can't think of one.
On second thought, there are some swear words that
I never use but for obvious reasons I won't list them. -
femidom
-
The "c" word. It's ugly.-
Smells worse than it sounds
-
- Hygiene is the solution to any "smell".
-
the C. word is one of my favorite. its vulgar and straightforward. -
I never ever use the c word. It's so demeaning to women. Ugh.
-
Don't use that word. Nasty word.
-
I don't use the "c" word - UGH!
-
See I love the C word, but the P word makes me cringe when used to refer to female anatomy. I will call some one the P word and be fine, just hate hate hate it when describing anatomy.
-
-
i can't use the f word. i do speak it occasionally when i am making a point but can't write it.-
F...........U..............C..............*
Neither can I
-
-
"dude"-
I never use "dude" either.
-
Me neither. I prefer duuuuude
-
That used to be one of my favorites. "No way dude!"
-
-
Colonization, if we continue with our current mindset, the space age will bring the same suffering as today. -
panties.
pantyhose.
I will never utter those aloud, and hopefully never type them again.
cos theyre horiffic-
You need nicorette patches
-
I go no where with out my panties. It ain't happening.
-
-
See, I love the C word. It makes me laugh....
I hate "moist." It just bugs the ever loving crap outta me!-
Wait until you eat the South African version of layer cake. The stuff is so dry it crumbles when you try to cut and serve it...you'll suddenly develop an affinity for "moist"!
-
The C word isn't cake is it?
-
Rhymes with runt.
-
-
"rad"
-
the N* word or other racial epithets. it just won't leave my throat, or keyboard even when I try hard to shock D.
-
I avoid any and all words that are used a bit too commonly.
Its best to use alternate words.
Especially internet slang. Its just too horrible, because of the associations that have formed with internet slang.
I avoid words like 'dood', 'pics', 'celeb', 'p*rn', 'pr*n' s***t, etc. Always did.
'LoL' is another word that's become very irritating now.
Laughing online is bizarre anyway!-
BTW, IMHO, I G2 LOL...

I can not say that i never say it, but i try my best not so say "never" in a "negative way". I have learnt my lessen very well to know that it is a very bad practice to give up and think that it is not possible to do. that's why after a series of incidents i have decided not to say "never (in a negative way)" or "impossible" again.
written a post about it: lifeasiknowit22.blogspot.com/2009/05/never-say-never-dude.html -
S...So..Sor... I can't even spell it.-
Nice one.
-
-
LOL there.
-
I refuse to say "I told you so"
People never listen, and I have decided long ago to let people learn from their mistakes. So, I'll never have a reason to say it.-
I say this all the time to my husband.
-
-
Awesome ... there are soooo many words that can be used instead.-
Like what?
-
Marvelous?
-
I use that word but I also use incredible, spectacular, awe inspiring, profound, marvelous.
-
-
Unreal - It's an awful awful adjective and especially if it's used to describe something NOT "unreal".-
When my gram passed away it was unreal. I felt like it was a very bad dream.
-
-
whatever, just never say it for some reason. Can't explain it. -
Awesome. I hate americans and austrailians for over using the word.
eg. I went out to the pub last night. They reply, awesome. Why I ask, it wasn't awesome.
my eg. I stood in the middle of the Atacama Desert and saw 100's of shooting stars all around me. Now thats Awesome.-
My attempt at explaining awesome... In many public schools in America many students don't acquire a love of reading. A love of reading leads to better word usage.
I have a slightly larger vocabulary than the kids I grew up with. A teacher once asked the class "What is a crush?" I raised my hand and said "infatuation."
A girl after class sneered at me and said "Why did you raise your hand? We all know you're smart." I wasn't trying to out do anyone. Apparently, I did and it offended.

I never say "everything happens for a reason" because to me that is stupid. Unless someone can tell you the reason, it's just pointless filler to me (no offense to anyone who may have said that to me recently that I have not seen yet)
-
That's something I actually believe in. As well as "Nobody's perfect" and "just wait everything will be ok."
-
"Everything happens for a reason." I agree with Endlessly on this one. In fact, that's what the Book of Job is about. Sometimes, there is no reason.

"like" ....as a part of speech, in conversations!!
Like you know when I visited the theatre, like he was standing there...
u know what i mean!!-
I kind of know what you mean...however being from California the word "like" pops into my vocabulary as often as the words "and", "or" "because" "the"....so on. I'm sure you get the point.

"bless you" when people sneeze. I've gotten a lot of grief over this, so sometimes I do it anyway. I firmly believe saying "bless you" is totally ridiculous as I don't posess the power to bless anyone nor the power to keep their heart from stopping should they cease to live after sneezing.... I'll say, "DAMN, are you ok?" or "Do you need a tissue" or even "Please cover your mouth, you animal." But "bless you"...I'd rather not.
-
Oh I like "bless you." It just seems so old fashioned and sweet.
-
-
I don't know....because I never say it -
Discharge - I just really hate that word.
and ex-convict - some people like to turn their lives around and its hard being stuck with that title because of poor decisions made in the past. -
Larchen... I never say it because nothing is ever Larch like.. except Larch's. Who knew! -
Marriage, married, or any other variation of the word "marry". Will never do it again, not until I'm old like Jack Nicholson in the movie "Somethings Gotta Give." -
Whoops-a-daisy It's just too lame. Also do not care for the word WIFE. UGH! -
I don't say the word "Goo" any more ... it confuses me if I say it too much. It starts to sound wierd and my tongue becomes paralyzed from the confusion.
Try it: Say "goo" 25 times, and tell me it's not a really wierd word that confuses you. -
"cottonpicker" it's a word my dad has always said, no malice intended by him it's something he picked up from his dad...but I feel that the origin of it is racist and I always hated it so I never say it -
-
Wait! Is that a trick question?
