Liked and disliked words
In a recent English language lesson the class had a discussion on what words we like and dislike. There were many patterns, agreements and disagreements. One reoccurring type of words that were disliked was words with changing meanings. A lot of people in the class disliked when words like "literally" or "like" were either overused or said with the wrong intent. Other words that were not not liked in the changing meanings section were "Trust" and "sweat". One thing that the whole group had in common is we all disliked most taboo words. These included "C**t", "Shag" and "Slut" the reasons for disliking these words were either because it was not a nice respectful word or how it sounded.A group that i found strange was the food category. Words like "nugget" were not liked because of sound of the word when spoken which also goes for some of the other foods included.
