I've despised this word from the moment I first heard it. I don't really have any particular reason; it's just one of those words that makes me wince every time I hear it.
I hate this word. It is simply overused, particularly by sci-fi, fantasy, and gothic fiction authors. The worst abuse I have seen is in Bloodline by Kate Cary (which is, despite good reviews on Amazon, an absolute literary abomination!)

The word oozes out of my mouth in a process much similar to the regurgitation that occurs when I attempt to eat the vegetable.
