POLL: Most Hated Word in Fandom

Yep, this is 'another' poll, but this time quite fandomish:
(inspired and encouraged by [livejournal.com profile] cordelia_v)

There are numerous essays and discussions out there of the most hated words in fanfic. Expressions that make you cringe, or whimper, or throw your slipper at the screen when you encounter them in a fic. The bad stuff that makes you hit the back button, or at least tempts you to.

I'll start off and give you "orbs" as my personal 'word from the abyss' :).

[Poll #669331]

If we get enough examples, it might be fun to do a 'worst word' followup poll/deathmatch :).

Phew! :)
I think if we were talking cliches, I'd scream and run at 'Valentine Balls' (and everything else noncanonical in that direction...)
