ANYWAY, I was talking about words I dislike. Yeah. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT!
I'm actually guilty of using some of them a lot ._. when you're a writer, it pretty much doesn't matter if you like the word or not, as long as your readers can understand your works. But still, there's something about these words that bothers me like an annoying brother. (And believe me, I have two of those :3) I just thought you'd like to know about them, that's all.
And you expected excitement from this blog XD
- Top of the List: Curse Words
T_T You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to know why I don't like these words. They suck more than a baby and his beloved lollipop.
I mean, so what if I have this weird habit to use a habit word.
Habit Word (hah-biht werd)
-a word that kidZ uses when she is stressed, surprised, or extremely happy; or
-a replacement for a curse word
:P You know, like those days that I stub my toe on the door and shout "CUD!" Ooooor I watch an episode of Natsu and Lucy stuck in a cave (NaLu supporter FOREVER) and I'll go "OhmyglobohmyglobohmyGLOOOOB!! D:"
Yeah. That's okay. Because the word "cud" means a grass that a cow eats...I think ._. And the word "glob" means a smush of somethingness. They're technically harmless.
Curse words are a different story, in my opinion. They're shouting out hurtful words. Calling someone a female dog hurts. A lot. (Especially if the one you're talking to is a boy and has no trace of canine i ^ i)
- Husky
I've read a bunch of romance novels--don't read them by the way, guys, and I'll explain in a later post--and in every single one of them, they have the word "husky" in it.
What's husky, you ask? It means hoarse. No not horse. Hoarse. (There's a huge difference, y'know.)
That will be sorta okay and all--if they didn't use it to describe the voice of EVERY SINGLE DUDE THAT THE GIRL HAPPENS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH. >:|
First of all, that has got to be extremely cheesy and overly macho to use the word "husky" to describe a guy's voice and make it sound all romantic. I mean, if a guy's voice is husky--and I'm reminding you that this means hoarse--I'd imagine the conversation to be like this:
"What...do you feel about me?" Kylie whispered, looking into Victor's warm brown eyes.
"You know what I feel about you?" he answered, his voice suddenly husky, "I feel there's nobody more special in the world than the girl right in front of me."
"There's something wrong with your voice ._."
"What?"
"Your voice. It's so rough."
"There's nothing wrong with my voice. It's just a little husky, is all."
"Dude. It sounds like you're rubbing an iPod on sandpaper!"
"WOMAN I WAS TRYING TO BE ROMANTIC D:<"
"WELL STOP BEING ROMANTIC, GET YOURSELF A GLASS OF WATER, AND FIX YOUR CREEPY VOICE."
:3 If anyone found a romance novel with that conversation, recommend it to me, and I'll read it in a heartbeat. XD But seriously. Has ANYONE noticed that I sorta have a half-true, messed-up point?
I'll only find "husky" okay to describe a guy's perfume. Oh yeah and for this dog, le Siberian Husky!:
OH MY GLOB THAT'S AN ALASKAN MALAMUTE. POSER. >:O XD lol jk. Credit to eigen werk :3
If I see this word describing a woman's perfume, I'm gonna tear the review off the paper, make the Alaskan Malamute pee all over it, and turn it to a lovely fertilizer. :D
- Yummy
Whenever I hear the word "yummy," the first image that pops into my mind is a duck covered with all this feathery, bouncing blubber. You probably don't see that everytime you eat a yummy cake or drink yummy yogurt shakes, but that's what I see, which is why I almost never use this word in my stories. And that's what matters.
Thanks to me, that's probably gonna be the first image you see everytime your mom tells you try out Gramma's "yummy" casserole!
Just because your mother used the wrong adjective, would you really want to see a duck with a weight problem everytime you eat that casserole? T_T
- Macabre
You know the meaning of macabre? Death, horror, gore, your grandma naked, gruesome...you get the point!
Strangely enough, that isn't what I see when I hear "macabre." Wanna know what I see?
Macaroons, maracas, macaroni, McDonald's, and Master Makarov from Fairy Tail. :> (Which is why syllables always matter in words. >.<)
- Affection
Affection. The cheesy word for sweetness and love, and hugs and kisses. Fish and chips, and all that.
Now, you can always count on me to turn seemingly normal words into a weird and confusing image. That happens to be my job in the world :D
Whenever I hear "affection," I see a girl patting a guy on the head while offering him these pastries covered in sugar and wrapped with a cute, pink little ribbon.
Imagine what happens to the poor guy every time you say "affection."
Affection.
"Aw, thanks, Carly! *grins, takes pastries*
Affection.
"*pat, pats* Um, thanks, I guess! *takes more pastries*"
Affection.
"You're really creeping me out now D:"
Affection.
"Stop patting me."
Affection.
"I'm getting so full...and my hair is so oily."
Affection.
"...SKREEEEE!!!! DDD:"
You see that? Affection traumatizes children. >:( XD lol no.
D: Oh wow I just used a jump break. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS FEATURE EXISTED :O
Well...anyway...peace out :3
