In no particular order, here's a bunch of words I hate:
rubric
inchoate
macabre
poignant
paradigm
onus
copacetic
criteria
approbation
utilize
articulate
And a whole host of others I can't think of right now because I have successfully driven them out of my head. When I read those words I get a cramp in my neck and my eyes revolt, making me squint, and that gives me wrinkles. These words are the stumpy-legged, irritating, blathering in-laws of the dictionary, and they should be sent out back to the mini-barn with the rusty gardening tools to await the junkman. Or be eaten by a dog, so he could vomit back up all the individual letters and we could repackage them into prettier words to be used more eloquently in some other sentence. Geez.
I am no fun to play Scrabble with.

i DETEST the word "reevaluate"
words NOT to be used when discussing one's marriage.
I don't like the word "paradigm" especially when used in conjunction with the word "shift".
Oh lord, don't get me started on phrases I hate. Seriously.
Can we please do phrases next? No, seriously.
i think we should do jello shots next, then talk about people with crappy shoes.
but that's just me.
MAF, did you honestly offer to willingly eat Jell-O?
