When people call sex "breeding".
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.

I uh... I'm not sure what your source is, but for mine 'breeding' is anything but "only for procreation"
E: in case it isn't painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes :p
Apparently it's urban slang.
Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.
It kinda depends on context.
A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.
An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.
that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.
I'd say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious
It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]
Can't pick just one so here're a couple.
"Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. "AI", referring only to LLMs. "Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities.
biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What's the point of this word when it's so ambiguous.
In the UK we have the word "fortnight" for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that "biannual" mean twice a year and "biennial" means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand 🤷
A peacock's tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.
A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.
I don't really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.
Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn't actually known and my interpretation isn't even in the running, but I'm saving this anyway because it's amusing.
Hmm... I like that, sorry. But, there is a little history behind that word.
An alcoholic mixed drink, and derived senses you will need to scroll down a bit to get to the alcoholic drink part.
I've come to hate "Utilize." It has a decent purpose as "using to the fullest extent," or, "making do with something in a new context."
Instead, I just hear it as a replacement for "use" when someone wants to sound smart.
"Heh heh... Utilize. 👉👌"
Trump.
I will never speak it again.
Slay because my 10 year uses it for everything. Slayalicious, slaytastic, slayme...
Nag. Just sounds harsh
Bungalow. Should be obvious.
People who shorten food names aren't doing English any favors...
'za (Pizza), taters, sgetti, nanners, gnosh (im hungry I need some gnosh gnosh)
Tumescent
Any misspoken words, said with full confidence that it is correct.
I left him know.
There's a woof in the backyard.
The F word that means "a bundle of sticks" used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.
With some specific exceptions, for me. If you are one, and you aren't using it against others, it's fine. Like storytelling and describing a conversation, or just even being playful about it. Maybe being at a store with some friends looking at clothes or something, describing yourself and how something looks perhaps? Totally fine in my book. That's our term, we should be able to reclaim it for ourselves.
But someone else who I don't know and can't immediately determine the meaning/context that uses it? Bitch you about to die.
I don't know. I think reclaiming slurs can be a good thing, (queer, for example), but that one is inherently violent and I always feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Like, there's a reason you didn't write it out in your comment.
Fair. I didn't type it since I don't want to be that guy like 'you mean [word]'. It's very context sensitive yeah, but I think it's okay in the right moment.
I do agree. That word is harsh to see, to hear. I have never liked it. Even between gays, I don't use it at all.
I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman... concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!
Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.
E: It appears I have misread the question. But I'll leave my Monty Python reference here.
I don’t hate it, but apparently they have done polls and often the top result is:
Moist
Interesting
"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"?
Relevant greentext:
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).
Trump
“Mouthfeel.” Especially if it’s a food show.
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
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.
"Stylized"
pulchritudinous
it's an incredibly ugly word
egg
Too many to count. A lot of the current slang
Rizz comes close to the top of the list
Can’t or won’t. Take your pick.
I won't, because I can't.
Suckle
Receive.
I think my grasp of English is pretty good, but this is one of the most common words I misspell on a regular basis. I have no idea why I keep wanting to write "recieve" instead.
