The post Mantastic Podcast Episode 6: Words We Hate appeared first on Man Certified.

Well after talk about bigfoot and the Lochness monster and Chapacabra I thought we would lighten it up a bit after all that’s some heavy stuff.

Do you have any words that make your skin crawl. Turns out there is a bit of a science to it. There is a really funny article on Thought Catalog.com titled “Moist” and 28 Other Gross Sounding English Words That Everyone Hates. We will put a link in the show note so everyone can enjoy. Anyway they put a list of words together that is pretty funny and true.

Your most super disgusting words contain abrasive letters B, G, M, U and O. They are common in the grossest of the words.  So I thought I’d go through them and we can talk about how nasty they are. Maybe we come up with a disgusting sentence with as many as we can.

“My body was moist with viscous sweat and a sound gurgled from my throat just before the curdled vomit squirted through my fingers and landed on my slacks.”

“The bloated festering deer corpse was teeming with viscous maggots that appeared to be dripping out of every orifice, I vomited only mucus and phlegm the first time but I knew the curdled chunks of taco meat from todays lunch would be the next thing to squirt out of my dripping maw.”

So if anyone has any better ones be sure to post on mancertified.com and we will talk about them next week. This is the perfect time to take a break and maybe eat some Chunky soup. We will be right back to take about some crimes of the English language, in fact Weird Al just released a song (God when is the last time I listened to a Weird Al song? Yikes) called Word Crimes which is a spoof an Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke (I think thick should also be on my most hated word list) that touches on some of this. Anyway we will be right back don’t forget you can find us on mancertified.com.

Welcome back to the Mantastic Podcast brought to you by Mancertified.com.

Well Al I want to preface this by saying that I’m by no means an English professor but there are somethings people say everyday that bug the effing shit out of me. So let talk about them you go first.

• 
  
• The biggest crime against the English for me is the word irregardless. I am telling you my eye starts to twitch and I’d like to stick a fork in the person’s eye. The use probably bugs me more because people attempt to sound intelligent while using it. It’s just regardless everyone it’s simple.
  
• The next one for me is the use of the word Myriad. I like the word but quite a few people write it or say “myriad of” I see it used in print as well so this is a fairly common mistake “of” is implied. You don’t’ have to use it, Its “myriad colors” “myriad choices” “myriad possiblities” Get it? Good.
  
• I flipped hate when people mispronounce Alzheimer’s with Alltimers or oldtimers. Oh God I so want to be an English snob and tell everyone that says to “please stop” it’s pronounced Alts- hi-mers
  
• This is a pretty common one. When people say “I could care less” It means that you could actually care less than you do right now which says you care at least a little. It’s “I couldn’t care less”
  

These don’t really bug me because at one point in time I’ve probably used them myself and I’m not gonna be pissed at me that not what the show is about today.

• 
  
• Here is a kind of slangy south side of Chicago term that I’m probably guilty of using if I don’t watch myself it’s “I says” when describing what you said instead of “I said”
  
• “Whole Nother” I’m gonna use it in a sentence “I wanted to chew out Aunt Libby too but that’s a whole nother set of issues that I don’t want to talk about. I butchered the shit out of that sentence. Thank you
  

Fun facts about words you’re probably using wrong

Decimate does not mean utterly destroyed or completely destroyed it mean that you destroyed 10% of something. So for instance if you said (says) “We decimated their army” you sort of suck because 90% is coming back to whip your ass. You should probably use “devastate”

Disinterested does not mean someone is not interested. It means neutral party. So it would be something like this “we need to bring in a disinterested party to help us sort through this” It means impartial. Use uninterested.

And my last one is the use of “Peruse” Quite a few people use it flippantly like “Yeah I’ll peruse your paper when I get a chance” Peruse means you are going to read something thoroughly not quickly scan.

I’m super excited to announce that we have a very special guest coming on with us in the next couple weeks. Mister Rex Gilroy the famous cryptozoologist from Australia who has some great research about lost continents, lost civilizations and my favorite the Yowie. So stay tuned it’s gonna be a great show.
