Is there a word or phrase that makes you say "ew"?

Words have different meanings for different people. Some offend, some seem pretentious, some are just silly. The words I'm thinking of, are just simple words, that bug us, or make us a bit uncomfortable. Like "moist", I guess there is some science behind it. I haven't read it yet.

Mine is "hump", used in sexual context. I believe it's because it reminds me of elementary school. I have heard it used by adults, that is when my face scrunches up, and I think "ew"

This is an older video, but it makes me laugh.

"My bad" comes to mind. I don't know if it's gross or cringeworthy, but it drives me nuts. LOL!

"Ewe"?

Any version of the word "empower". It was a buzz word at a former place of employment for me. It was way overused. It's been almost four years since I left there. My right eye still twitches when I hear it.

"Moist" is horrible. It actually activates my gag relfex.

How about "rancid."?

LIKE, which has been used for years now, especially by teenagers.

Panties. I HATE that word. Just call it underwear.

It is easier to say take your panties than take your underwear off

Yes, it is spelt Ew

@Stacey48 Does not matter. Know what you mean.
