Ugly words

There aren't really that many words that bother me. However there are a few words that my dad says that I can not stand. The first word is nuke. I don't know why but every time I hear that word I cringe. I just don't like the way it sounds. I don't understand someone has to say you can just nuke that in the microwave. I believe that it sounds a lot better when someone says that you can warm that up in the microwave. You can even say that you can reheat that in the microwave. I think any word would be better than nuke. There is another word that my dad says that I can not stand at all. This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone uses this word. Actually, "the word" isn't even a word at all. It is defiantly not in Webster's English Dictionary. The word is....warsh. I don't understand why my dad can't simply say wash. I correct him every time that he says warsh. I just think it sounds so countryish. When he says warsh it makes him sound like he lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere and can't pronounce words correctly. The whole family has tried to get him to correct it but he is stubborn and just won't do it. I guess nuke and warsh are the only two words that I find really ugly. I know for sure that Starbucks isn't an ugly word it is a beautiful one!!!
