http://www.wordnik.com/lists/the-no-no-list.xml Words I absolutely will not say aloud to people unless I'm sure they know exactly what I'm talking about. Also words that require great diligence in pronunciation, so no one is offended by a slightly-wrong syllable. Often I'll intentionally say them wrong so people will get the point and just think I'm stupid. Maybe I'm overly self-conscious. I just hate to "trigger" people and distract them from the message I mean to convey. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/coxswain Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:47:13 +0000
