What's the ugliest word you know?

[MonkeyFunk]

and anybody who says "Bush" or "Republican" gets slapped with a haddock.

I'm talking purely phonetically:

I vote for "clot".

[Yavin4]

1. Ann Coulter

I win!

[MonkeyFunk]

4. Slap!

[AirmensMom]

2. Doable.

Can't stand it -- and it looks even worse written than it sounds.

[MonkeyFunk]

6. ah

but you're voting on connotations!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

3. How's

phlegm? :) or mucus?

[MonkeyFunk]

5. both good choices...

no fish on your face!

[billyskank]

7. Functionality

[MonkeyFunk]

8. good choice

no haddock for you.

[Forkboy]

9. Shutup

Not you...that's my word :)

[KitchenWitch]

10. This thread will get locked if I say it.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. I know where you're going...

it rhymes with hunt, right?

Connotation! Haddock!

[KitchenWitch]

15. ding ding ding!

;)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. We can't talk about Alan Funt?

:shrug:

[wildhorses]

11. good bye

i hate saying it and hearing it

[RiffRandell]

12. Maggot.

The thought just makes me

:puke:

Sorry for those that are about to eat dinner.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. What'd you call me?!?!

Why I oughtta...

[AwakeAtLast]

14. I vote for "sputum"

I think I spelled that right. I get a little nauseous when I think of it. :puke:

[MonkeyFunk]

18. No

you lose. It's not phonetically horrifying. I call connation, but only slightly.

Have a flounder:

[AwakeAtLast]

21. Um, actually I won

The flounder. :D Thanks!

:hi:

[MonkeyFunk]

23. ooh...

you're just cruising for a haddock, ain't ya?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

17. Pus...........

For such a small word, it burgeons with disgust.

[rug]

20. smegma

[MonkeyFunk]

22. Great choice!

It's got those two impure "M"s.

Have some hamachi:

[sammythecat]

82. That is one damn ugly word.

"a thick, cheeselike, sebaceous secretion"

[otherlander]

24. a

What the fuck kind of word only has ONE LETTER?!?!

[MonkeyFunk]

26. only the most confident ones...

not haddock-worthy, but have a snail.

[KamaAina]

25. I'd say 'haddock'...

...but then you'd slap me with a Republican :scared:

[Susang]

27. Sockpuppet!

:hide:

[MonkeyFunk]

28. good choice...

the combination of the "k" and "p" sounds is ugly.

Have some maguro to go:

[Susang]

38. You're so nice!

I ate a ton of nigiro and maki last Friday with my Mom. :9

[HEyHEY]

29. Harper

:P

[querelle]

30. C**t

I can't even bring myself to spell it without the **. I cringe every time I hear it. There's just something about that word that upsets me every time I hear it. The most sexist insult ever. Why is it that the worst insult (to me anyway) must refer to female anatomy?

Q

[bleedingheart]

31. I would have to vote for that one as well..

[MonkeyFunk]

35. Yes it's an ugly word

almost like "clot"

Half a haddock to you.

Sorry, can't find a pic of a half-haddock.

[Lilith Velkor]

43. Don't ever visit Ireland

England might be alright as long as you don't go to a pub.

Oz is probably a bad idea as well.

Scotland is right out.

[querelle]

52. I've Been To All Of Those Countries

And i know that that they use the "C" word quite often. Perhaps it doesn't possess the same gravity as it does here. I simply don't care. It's an ugly word and I hate to hear it where ever I happen to be.

Q

[Kutjara]

85. It's the same in Spain.

"Cono" (with a tilde over the 'n') is considered a mild epithet in Spain, equivalent in severity to "damn." People call eachother conos all the time. Or maybe they just call me that. It's hard to be sure.

[Shakespeare]

46. My ex (operative word being "ex") hurled that one at me unprovoked.

And it was the beginning of the end of our marriage. It's a horrible, hateful word to call somebody.

[querelle]

48. Agreed

I can't think of a worse name to call a woman. It's degrading and diminishes. I've usually found that people that people who employ this insult have run out of intellectual ammunition and must resort to the worst possible word that they can think of.

Q

[Mad_Dem_X]

89. YEP.

Hate, hate, hate that word!

[Kerrytravelers]

32. conservative

Hehehe. Do I get slapped? I didn't say Bush or Republicans! :hide:

[MonkeyFunk]

33. haddock

[caty]

34. I hate

the "N" word. It is the most hateful, mean spirited, degrading, and disrespectful word ever. It really bothers me when any one of any race says it. There is just no reason for that word to be uttered, even in jest. So many good people were harmed by that word in the past and it should not be used lightly in the present.

[MonkeyFunk]

39. True

but still worthy of a haddock:

[hellbound-liberal]

36. How about "crotch-rot"? Or is that two words? n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

40. It's a compound noun...

and i'll thank you not to discuss my personal problems on DU.

Have a fake carp:

[terrya]

37. blister

[MonkeyFunk]

41. I like it

:shrug:

It's got bliss in it.

[jane_pippin]

42. birthmark

grosses me out

[Lilith Velkor]

44. War

*ducks*

[MonkeyFunk]

45. The haddock never misses

[MissMillie]

93. I mean, really,

what is it good for?

[Lilith Velkor]

96. Absofuckinglutely nothing

Say it again! :patriot:

[Parche]

47. You are Giving me a Haddock!!!!

[Lilith Velkor]

49. Haddock is a fairly ugly word

...now that I think about it.

[Guava Jelly]

50. GoPsUx

It causes so much hatred and drama :7

[MonkeyFunk]

51. the unusual capitalization

is fish-worthy.

Not quite haddock-level, so have a perch:

[reyd reid reed]

53. Crotch

C**t probably tops that one because not only is it an ugly word, it's an UGLY word.

I don't like the word 'speculum' either.

[MonkeyFunk]

54. actually

"speculum" has a certain phonetic beauty.

But "crotch" is sorta ugly. As a word... the real things are hit or miss.

[reyd reid reed]

55. I'll give you speculum...

I just don't like 'em.

What about 'phlegm'?

[MonkeyFunk]

58. The reason "phlegm"

isn't awful is because the "g" is silent.

It's just "flem" which isn't god-awful.


Now, orthographically, it's a horror. But when pronounced, it's only worthy of a goldfish.

[Redstone]

56. Starts with 'c' and women really hate it, so I never use it. I'll use just about every vile word

in the english language, and do so frequently, but I won't say that one.

Redstone

[reyd reid reed]

57. I've heard people use it in conversation and then wonder

why they get attitude. It's just ugly.

[Redstone]

60. Yes, indeed. You've seen me get really lit up on DU, and you know there are few limits to

my lexicon. But that word is out of bounds. Always has been, even when yacking with the guys.

Redstone

[Horse with no Name]

59. Obese.

I'd rather just be called fat, thank you very much.:)

[dolo amber]

61. I'm not partial to "linoleum"

Hell I can't even spell it without spell check, let alone say it.

[Random_Australian]

80. What's wrong with linoleum? At least it isn't oleum!

[caty]

62. How about

nuclear?

[MonkeyFunk]

65. This is a combo reply..

both 'linoleum" and 'nuclear' are, phonetically, beautiful.

Have a double-haddock:

[Blue-Jay]

63. duck.

Because "bandwidth thief" is two words.

[Zuiderelle]

64. Naughty

when combined with girl. :rofl:

[caty]

66. Fissure?

[Omphaloskepsis]

67. cacophony

At least the way I pronounce it.

[baldguy]

68. Chemotherapy

After seeing what it did to three of my grandparents, my mother, my uncle and several of my friends before they died, I can only think a better option would have been to give them the pain meds they need & allow them to die with a little dignity.

[femmocrat]

69. ointment

[schrodingers_cat]

70. the German word for 'nipple'

is the worst to me - "Brustwartz"

No interpretation necessary, I believe......

(Dear German DUers - please correct my spelling, should there be an error)

[Monk06]

87. I get Nippel. Clitoris is Kitzler, which is kinda playful n/t

[devilgrrl]

71. Ugly

:shrug:

[WeRQ4U]

72. Metastatic

No other word is as frightening and evil.

[Skittles]

73. illegitimate

when used with the word children, it serves no purpose at all - if children are HERE they are LEGITIMATE

[Taverner]

74. Pus

It's just...a fucked up word is what it is

[BlueJazz]

75. FAGGOT..nasty, nasty word.

[eyepaddle]

92. I'd agree with that, but also

say the "N word" ties.

In addition to the pejorative meanings they are just harsh words.

[BlueJazz]

97. Yep....It's amazing how words can mean the same but evoke...

...entirely different "mind Images" like calling someone a Faggot or N***** as opposed
to Gay Person or Black Dude/Gal..

[Rhythm]

76. i have a thing against words with too many b's

cribbage
garbage
rubbish

*yuck*

[auntAgonist]

77. cancer n/t

[qwertyMike]

78. The word is,,,,,,

ain't

and Vomit

[Random_Australian]

79. Bis(tris(p-methoxyphenyl) phosphine) mercuric chloride complex

That's pretty much one word. At least Bis(tris(p-methoxyphenol)phosphine) is.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

81. I didn't major in chemistry

Does this have a common name? It's not Pepto Bismol, I know that.

Mercurochrome? I'm guessing. :wtf:

[Random_Australian]

83. No, in fact, the amount of these things WITHOUT common names is about

99.99997%

Us chemist types know a LOT of chemicals.

As in, common names: fuck all. Chemicals known: Millions and millions and the figure will double every 30 years or so.

[Control-Z]

84. bulbous n/t

[Qanisqineq]

86. snatch

I hate that word when used to refer to a female body part. Can't say I like it much otherwise, perhaps because I dislike the slang way it is used. Snatched as in he snatched my purse isn't quite so bad. The -ed makes it better.

[Mad_Dem_X]

88. Can't write it, I hate it so much

Begins with a c. :mad:

[YankeyMCC]

90. Belgium

Well it doesn't seem that bad to me but apparently it's hideous to most of the galaxy :shrug:

[commander bunnypants]

91. The N word

CB

[youthere]

94. Haggis.

[RogueTrooper]

95. pro-active

useless gibberish.... ***mutters****

x(

[azmouse]

98. Mucus

[XemaSab]

99. c***

x(

[ironflange]

100. phlegm

Especially if you pronounce it wrong, like in "Cabaret."

[Manifestor_of_Light]

101. t**t, and it's NOT tart. It's a female part.
