I know that's really weird but it freaks me out. I think it's because the women in my family use it a lot. That word has absolutely no sex appeal to me at all and all I picture when I hear it is my mother in her underwear and it almost makes me gag. I don't even know what other word I could replace it with that would be "sexy" most of the time i don't even pit a word to it I just say "them" There is my shameful confession
