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!

FlipFlop - it's what people wear at the beach or a meaningless political argumentative device.

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.

Daily Horoscope for November 8

Cancer

Try to find a balance while the Moon passes through your second house of personal finances, challenging deceptive Neptune in your house of other people's money. You may be giving away too much, whether it's tangible or intangible things. Then again, this is a potentially spiritual time for you. Just remember, you don't have to give away everything and join a convent to be cleansed.
