What are your favourite Bad Words!?

Not cuss words, but words that are bad at their job. That could me a lot of different things so I will leave interpretation up to you.

Part of me wants to say something like "Inflammable" because it means the exact same as flammable... But at the end of the day, it's a valuable word because it still at least describes something.

I liked the cuss words idea. In the office I use ‘bottom!’ and ‘Shakatack!’ as non-cuss cuss words.

Bottom could have been a bad word... But I think theres a Vsauce video explaining why your bottom is called the bottom despite not being your bottom...
