POLL: Most Hated Word in Fandom

[kennahijja]

Yep, this is 'another' poll, but this time quite fandomish:
(inspired and encouraged by 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 :).

I want a follow up poll on what action or cliche or error throws you out the fastest.

For me, that would be a (slash) fuck with no lube mentioned.

[cordelia_v]

ps--I mean, no lube where it's not supposed to be awful, painful non con, that is.

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