Words that make you cringe
« on: October 10, 2017, 05:26:48 pm »

What are some words that when you hear, a shiver goes down your spine? (i.e you cringe from hearing them). I have a couple:

- angst
- shook

Not really sure why; just despise these words!

"Social Justice Warrior" is one for me, too.

Like, what else would you be fighting for?

This isn't lexical but it's more related to the Australian accent.
I used to cringe when Australians say "no", might be a personal thing.
It sounds like "noeuhr", like why would you use so much energy to twirl your tongue in a certain way (crappy description haha I don't do EngLang) to pronounce a two letter word when you can say it like the 'mericans or everyone else in the planet?
Australians are weird, but I love them anyways  ;) ;)
