while it does kinda bug me that it's so over-used, I don't wanna kill puppies when it comes up.
here's a handy list of synonyms from dictionary.app:
trouble, difficulty, problem, trial, tribulation, misfortune, setback, reverse.
"PB G4 TRIBULATIONS!!1~!!!1!!"

why hate anything?
is it overused? probably, but so are a lot of others words.
"the" for example, or "a" or "i" or well i could go on and on....

Woah! The woe you've caused the mods by posting your woeful thread in such a woefully incorrect forum.
Wow, the woe ...
Wow, the woe ...
Only if it passes through your tulips, my dear.jsw said:

If we're talking about words we hate in general:
- MOIST
- ointment
- oil (but only if the "oiiii" is stressed really hard)
- boil
- goiter
*shudder*
Woe does not bother me.
The word I really hate is a new one that is commonly used to describe used cars.
"Pre-owned"
I absolutely hate that word. "Used" is a perfectly good word to describe something that's been used before.

Do you mean moorish?
I don't like "bling" and a few similar words.
Plus there are other words I detest more for the concepts that they represent than anything else.
Thus, another reason why you prefer men to boys.katie ta achoo said:

But I would have thought you'd like the word "coin"... guess not. Paper currency only?

Such that this would be displeasing?
"I boiled off that moist ointment and applied the oiiiiil to my goiter."
I can't believe you'd foist such a cloister, er, cluster of words on poor KT! I'd foil your plan by editing your post, but I'd hate for you to have toiled in vain. Perhaps, instead of toying with her, you could go have a seafood lunch... oysters maybe. Or, in honor of KT's prefs, something made from soy.thedude110 said:

not even when a girl tells you she's *moist* and she wants you to bOInk her?
**OK EDIT** ... ya you are a girl. lol. i saw that crazy evil avatar and figured you were a dude. my bad. but my post is still funny.
The word I hate the most is 'Hella', which techniquely is slang but still. It annoys the hell out of me.
Damn you Northern Californians and your incessant hellas!
