word aversion

Do you have any word aversions?

I have one: "pit" (but only when describing holes or hole-like areas (armpit, tree pit, etc, not, say, when describing the stones in fruit).

I've started to notice some people use "weenis", which bugs me far more.

Okay, the Urban Dictionary says that "weenis" is the skin on your elbow. Which doesn't make it any less annoying a word—maybe even more annoying, since it's so random.

Weenis?

WEENIS!? Are you serious?

OMG, I have to go scrub my eyes now.
