Written by Dave Howard, Karen Woodward, Greg Mills and Mali Finn
After an exhaustive, if not squeamish, word hunt, the top notch team at Crackpot Press has put together this list of the worst words in the English language. Proceed with caution as these are some of the most stomach turning dazzlers of all. We suppose they could be used for dramatic effect if you were writing a story on sewer rates that you wanted to make especially creepy. If writing a love letter or instruction manual, I would say skip 'em.
Try to never use these again. You’re welcome.
The words we hate are:
Bulletin Colon (and yet we like semicolon) Egg Fester Fondle Foyer Fuselage Dermatologist Geriatric Girth Groin Hatchery Hood Incision Loincloth Module Moist Morsel Mucus Oily Ointment Packet Panty and Panties Parka Pile Psoriasis Residue (worse when preceded by “moist”) Rim Saccharine Salmon Sinewy Specimen Succulent Supple Swab Tendon Toybox Turgid Tungsten Underpants Upholstery Vulva
and, of course,
any adverb.
