*Ick* words

Catalog this one under "words I hate." I don't mean idealistic words like hunger , war, and my new one, politics. Naturally, I'd rather such things not be in the vocabulary, but...they are. I may not like the idea behind them, but the actual words don't make me grimace. I'm also not talking about those rather blunt and often colorful anatomical terms, words that I'm not fond of using in my stories and use roadmaps to avoid (sometimes to my detriment--a spade is often a spade).

I'm talking about words that just plain don't sound good to you. Nothing to do with meaning, nothing to do with anything but "ick" when you hear it. I have identified three words that I'd rather never hear again, and I'm going to share them with you--one time only.

Platter.

Moist.

And...brooch.

My editor's going to LOVE that last one--hahahaha! It all has to do with the way the word sounds in speech, and in my head when I read it. I'll call it a "really big plate" or "damp" or "pin" before using any of the above words in casual coversation. Or in a sentence.

So now the million dollar question: am I alone in this, or are there just some otherwise regular words that make you go "ick"?
