Tell us what made-up word drives you nuts. We'll put some of the most hated together and have them face off on a poll.

"Butt-naked" really grinds my gears. It's "buck"-naked, not butt-naked. However, I do enjoy butt-ugly.

"Preggo" and "Preggers", if you're going to shorten a word for effeciency, reduce the syllables involved. "Pregnant" takes no longer to say.

My personal favorite is "conversate". NOT A WORD! It's converse.

Also, I do love "orientate".

"Chocoholic": Combining a life-destroying disease and a craving for candy is just not right.

Along the same line, is the word "baby bump" and "bump watch" to describe a pregnant womans physique. I hate that!

No concocted, by overused words get me.

Dis and Disrespect used as a verb. Disrespect is a NOUN not a verb.

"Healthy" Food instead of "Healthful" Food.
People are healthy or unhealthy - Foods are Healthful.

Orientated. Should be Oriented.
