The Word I HATE to Say (or Read)
Now, hate is a strong word. And I realize that HATE makes it even stronger. But this IS the word that properly describes my feelings toward this one particular word.
crochet
It doesn't look French, as it is said - crow shay.
It looks, well, vulgar. And in my mind, when I read it, it sounds vulgar. Then it continues to resonate. Crotch it. Crotch it, crotch it, crotch it... Until I wish the word never exsisted.
Now, luckily, coming across this word in print is a rare occurance. Until recently. Until Pinterest. Now there are crotch it pins, and crotch it you-name-it, and - well the list goes on.
Can't we all just - PLEASE - agree to keep our crotch it to ourselves? My quiet mind thanks you. In advance.
