"Walkie-Talkie"
Its a "Handheld Transceiver" ffs, who the fuck gave it such a stupid name lmfao
Is a Telephone a "Chit-y-Chat-y"? A computer a "Beep-ie-Boop-ie"?
If you want to go deeper about that word:
The earliest known use of the noun walkie-talkie is in the 1930s.
OED's earliest evidence for walkie-talkie is from 1939, in the San Antonio Express-News (San Antonio, Texas).

"y'all" its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words "academic incest" which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
"All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?"

Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it's an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there's no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it's Thick Soup.
Moist
Feminism
Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.
I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don't feel like that's a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.
It is a word that's supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they're gonna be a reactionary bigot.

I dislike words with the nasal E sound, specifically meal. I don't know what but for the last three years I can't stand the word meal. "Oh I hope you had a good MEEEEEEEeeeeal"
