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 :).

"emerald" vs. "onyx" - tough choice ;DD

*is determined to squeeze "Snape's soulful onyx orbs" into a fanfic sometime*
Heck, it's even better than fish imagery!
