"OK, so normally we talk about real viruses here, but let&amp;#x27;s have fun for a sec, shall we? CNN ran a clip recently that totally made me laugh--a compilation of people&amp;#x27;s most-hated words, which they called &amp;quot;verbal viruses.&amp;quot; Too funny! I definitely have a list of hated-words, how about you? The words that made it to the CNN most-hated list: *Recession *Watchamacallit *Absolutely *Hater Yeah, I don&amp;#x27;t like the word &amp;quot;recession.&amp;quot; It bums me out. I also hated the word &amp;quot;maverick&amp;quot; during the election season (it just got so old!). Current words that make my list: *Maxi (both the dress and the pad ... shivers up my spine!) *Nook (and cranny) *Palpitate (gross!) *Basically (you know, when people say &amp;quot;basically&amp;quot; before every single sentence?) I could go on and on. Tell me, what word or words make your most-hated list? P.S. See why Joanna from Smitten hates the word &amp;quot;panties.&amp;quot; And the word that former Shape-Up blogger, and Vitamin G contributor Margarita despises!
