"Wog, Spastic. Queer. Nigger. Dwarf. Cripple. Fatty. Gimp. Mick. Mong. Poof. Coon. Gyppo. You can't really use these words anymore and yet, strangely, it is perfectly acceptable for those in the Hotel industries to pepper their conversation with the word BEVERAGE" - Jeremy Clarkson

Beverage!! the worst word in language

Spugsy

Vagina is the worst.

Blue Cat

horrible word isn't it!! I hate the C word as well

When I lived for a few years in lovely Stoke-on-Trent, the women there would always say...how are you doing, cock...to which I wanted to say...fine fanny, but never did coz I was too polite.

MacScot

Other than swear words referring of F/M anatomy...I think lisp is in poor taste.

What sod made that word up for describing someone who could not pronounce the letter 's' and make them say " Thorry, I have a lithp" perhaps not the worst word but certainly a cruel one

The C word has to be the worst.
Test it by shouting it out in a crowded room and you will be able to hear a pin drop.

Blue Cat

aye I hate that - you alright hen? another one that irritates me, don't mind pet cos that's a geordie thing. Clarkson goes on to say that people waste words - as in Can I help with you with anything at all? why not just say Can I help you?

Timmy Molloy - London Boy

I used to be a Foods & Beverage Manager. was a long time ago


One word that suits what it means is 'vile'


Also what about words that the media like to use that no one else does in normal conversation i.e - revellers, or blaze for fire or heist for robbery - my favourite is when someone famous is on the piss, they're called a hellraiser.


any more?

Timmy Molloy - London Boy

you do the math - I actually want to punch someone when I hear this

Euc-

You still in hospitality then?

Blue Cat

what the hen bit or the at all bit? another useless word according to Clarkson is cuisine - he is like wtf do they mean food?

MacScot

Hen is used widely in Scotland too...it's an endearment. I still like it when I go into a corner shop back home and am asked "What would you like, son?" ...makes me feel young !

Euc-

"Want a refill, sugar?"

LankyLady

The worst nine words in the language are "It seemed like a good idea at the time".

lionheart

As an Englishman, my favourite nine words have always been..."they think it's all over...well, it is now", although Bangleman or Commander will probably remind me that Kenneth Wolstenholme's actual words in July 1966 were slightly different.
