The article suggests that the word 'pampering' is annoying, and I can see that, the word is pink and reminds me of talcum powder in lacey boxes :D but that's just my take on it.

It goes on to say that 'Phenomenon' is the most mispronounced word, and if that is reason to hate - so be it. But in my book it is just a remote smiley word, in a lipless muppet sort of way.

But personally I hate - with all the might I can muster - the word 'morsel'.

A terrible word because as it stands quietly to one side without association simply with two easy syllables, but once it escapes the mouth of the one that utters it - the visual associations are brought into focus by one's mind's eye, and face it, they are not pleasant.

An on-line dictionary offers as a definition:

  1. A small piece of food.
  2. A tasty delicacy; a tidbit.
  3. A small amount; a piece: a morsel of gossip.
  4. One that is delightful and extremely pleasing.

I'm not too keen on 'tidbit' as I write these words, but words are replaced by images and returning to my morsel rant I see rounded lumps of mystery meat that lurk within a shudder of jelly slurped from a dog food tin onto an innocent waiting plate. They look so non-food like I wouldn't feed them to my dog. I wouldn't feed them to a dog of a person I didn't like - even if I didn't like their dog.

But the lasting image, the one that persists, is of the aerated lumps (note: meat shouldn't float in water) remarkably similar is size, shape and color to the morsels mentioned above of wannabe meatballs found on pizza of the meat-feast variety sold by anyone you care to call for free delivery aound the planet. [....gasps for breath!]

hate! hate! hate!

(If someone would like to talk about nice words - feel free - but getting the bad words out of your system is better for your soul.)

The original posting was so well crafted with the hilarious but intelligent description of various meaty morsels that I'm sure it must be a miss-posting from another site?

Did the OP not realise what Thaivisa stands for? Where's the pointless circular political arguments, where's the racism, sexism and all the other isms including jism? Where's the compaints about Thai society and the usual bad-tempered humourless postings that we're all used to. Surely worth a ban ..... or at least a "what's this got to with Thailand??? :o "

That said .... my current least favourite word is 'expat'.

I've decided that with the current state of the UK economy, I'm now an economic migrant.
