Liz Renay had a terrible time saying the line "eat my operation" in Female Trouble. She just thought it was too disgusting.
Odd, doncha think? She was in a John Waters movie at the time. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
I love all words and enjoy painting with them. You have your structural words, your conjunctions and prepositions etc, which are your pencil sketch and give a framework to work in. Then the vocabulary is the palette range, to give definition and colour. So-called curse words are like the metallic and day-glo colours; used sparingly to add a highlight kick, but garish if relied on too heavily.
My hate, such as it is, is more with how words are used, or abused. One of the most ill-treated I've encountered since being online is "bunch", pressed into service far beyond its capacity. English has a breathtaking array of collective nouns; yet everything is described as a "bunch". Seriously, give the poor little word a rest. Another tiny victim of grammar abuse is the fundy's favourite, "if". If God exists, then X, Y, Z. They hang everything on that innocent little word. Snip through it with "ok, if not - what then?" and the whole structure falls about their feet in a sad little heap.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I had some coleslaw last weekend that was ghosting me for 3 days.
And the ghosting had a weird petrochemical note to it. Very disturbing. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
I ghosted in my sleep the other morning, which woke me up. I was still drowsy and thought I was on a farm.
