Cringe worthy words

[iblis666]

Words that drive me berserk:

"Leadership."
"Format."
"Dollar-Value LIFO." (seriously, DVL can go eat a dick.)
Anything you hear from corporate managers, really.

Accounting is the worst

Share capital
Working capital
receivables
payables

I fucking hate these words and they are used all by sodding accountants

I can live with accounting terms (except for motherfucking Dollar Value LIFO---I am SO fucked on this Thursday's test!) But management terms can sod off.

agreed LIFO annoys the hell out of me, FIFO makes much more sense

"Fucking"
That right there makes me want to slap someone across the face with the power of 30 hurricanes.
Actually most kinds of swearing ticks me off somewhat. If you are not a child, don't talk like a poorly raised one..
But especially fucking...

Man, whatever you do, don't come to Australia.

1. Many times a small mistake can completely change the meaning of a sentence ie,
"I helped my uncle Jack, off his horse."
and
"I helped my uncle jack off his horse."
One is about helping a relative,
the other is about helping a relative in an act of beastiality.

Actually, both are bad grammar.

If you wanted to be perfectly clear on your intentions, you should write:
"I helped my uncle Jack to get off of his horse."

Both of your sentences could be misconstrued in various different ways, such as helping your uncle to kill his horse, or as you said, perform... Questionable actions with the animal.
And the comma you placed in the first example should not be there regardless of what the sentence meant. Vital words are missing in any case.

Just saying.

Nonetheless my point remains.

or as you said, perform... Questionable actions with the animal.

I'm not sure why but that made my day.

'Hm?' 'Hilarious' and 'Crummy', the last of which reminds me of a time that I puked up a fuck-ton of crunch berries when I was a wee lad.

I don't think I am (insert thing that would get me a warning from the mods here) to get this thread.

I don't find any words unpleasant, but I do hate [i/]saying[/i] bullshit, because I can never get it to come out right.

My least favorite word: Moist. UGH.

As cracked.com said:

Imagine a sentence that uses the word moist. Now imagine your mother or grandmother said it.

Whats so bad about this...

I think the problem is you thought up the sentence AFTER seeing 'imagine your mother or grandmother said it.' The point is, most people will think up a phrase that could be interpreted as 'dirty' and then they imagine a family member saying it... Ugh.

In my opinion it sounds gross. "Moist" cake sounds like cake that's been soaked in water for an hour. Not 'gooey right out of the oven' brownies, but 'mushy soaked in water gag-worthy' brownies.

You did miss the point, but it made me chuckle, well played
