Speaking of ghastly phonetics, anything containing /gl/ makes me shudder. It's such an awful phoneme pair, no wonder foreigners struggle so much with learning English!

I agree. Although 'OK' itself was actually a short form of 'Orl Korrect' apparently written by someone in the States on consignments sent during WWII

Noetic (archaic somewhat) but yes, I meant NOETIC, not poetic.

Have to disagree with one on this list. PANTIES, love that word, it has naughty connotations, love knickers too but panties slightly naughtier. Or maybe we're just a pair of hopeless pervs?
