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 find the "moist" aversion fascinating, it seems like a huge percentage of English-speaking women have that one.

Yeah, it's so interesting! Conversely, I love the word "moist".
