"P" Word Pet Peeve


Alright, I have a really weird pppet pppeeve. I have "P" words. Yeah, there you have it. I don't like words that start with the letter "P" (with a few exceptions, like Poland).

I don't really know why. I just don't really like them. I don't like the noise of the letter "P." I don't like the way it looks and I don't like saying them. I will try and avoid them if possible. Oh no, I just said a "P" word. At least it's only written.

Let me give you some examples of the "P" words I strongly dislike.
  • Punt
  • Pueblo
  • Powwow
  • Provolone
  • Penalize (especially when pronounced pEE-nal-ize)
  • Pothole
  • Phony
  • Putrid
  • Participle
  • Paltry
  • Pew
  • Placebo
  • Putrefy
  • Pamphlet
  • Parsimonious
  • Polygamy
  • Powder
  • Pansy
  • Phlegm (Sounds like an "F" word, but it still sounds dirty)
  • Parchment
  • Pronto
  • Pesticide
  • Prig
  • Pimple
  • Punish
  • Pancreas
  • Pupil
  • Puss
There you have it. I bet you hate these words too.
