Zoë Triska: The Worst Word Ever
Zoë Triska: The Worst Word Ever: "I always refer to it as the "p" word cause it does something to my ears whenever I hear it. I too found that I am not alone in the disdain for this word. There are two women on the show @TMZ who don't like the word. I thought it odd since these were women who should be use to the word, but there it was, a bond if you must. But why that word, what caused it to become so detested? I'm comfortable with underwear, it's gender neutral. I don't like the word underpants when describing men's underwear, you're not four. And I don't like referring to women's underwear as draws. I ended a relationship when the woman said that. I know it was Seinfeldish behavior but I knew each time she said it, it was like nails on a chalkboard. But the "p" word is worse for me. One guy commented that it sounded like you were talking like pedophilia and you just didn't want that connotation linked back to you. So if you're over the age of ten, just call it underwear and let's see if we can get rid of the word metrosexual when the word fastidious was there all along just because a New York writer was too lazy to look up a definition for an immaculate man."
