Let's have fun - Name a word that you can't stand the sound of. I'll start. I can't stand the word MOIST. It sounds exactly like what the word is. Moist sounds moist Sounds awful. Can you think of any others?

My sister hates Moist, too! I don't. I hate aks instead of ask and sangwich instead of sandwich.

Moist is my number 1. Phlegm is a close second.

I mostly dislike words that are shortened or mispronounced. I hate “Cali” (California) the most. I also dislike “kinnygarden” (kindergarten) and “Sammie’s” (sandwich).
The words listed so far above don’t bother me.

Not necessarily specific words but certain pronunciations of them. I watch someone on YouTube that adds an “L” to words like “bra” and “straw” so it sounds like brawl and strawl. Or when important is pronounced impordant. Both of those drive me crazy.

Any word that people leave letters/sounds out that should be there or add letters/sounds that shouldn’t be there. Examples would be buh-in (button) mih-in (mitten) or warsh (wash). drives.me.insane.
(and also moist, ew)

I don't care about "moist", it makes me think of cake.
I don't like "clump" and I really hate cutesy words like "preggers" or "brekkie".

Lover - specifically when the word is used to discus one's romantic partner, it gives me the ick. I don't even want my dh saying it to me.
Moist has never bothered me though.

I love the word moist. Our meteorologists use it on purpose to make people squirm, and it cracks me up.
I hate words that are changed into new words like staycation or webinar, vlog… Also, hate shmear. I know there are more. I’ll post when they come to me.

I listen to audiobooks and many of the narrators are American, I find it's not the words themselves that bug me, but how they pronounce some of them. (As already mentioned above), especially when they mangle the middle of words..."buh-on", "innerview" (interview) "kidden" (kitten) but the one I really hate is "grow-SH-ries" there's no SH in the middle of groceries! I also hate reading spenny/spendy/exxy for expensive. Australians are well known to shorten almost any word, and so I'm fairly immune to it when other people speak - but I don't do it myself. The only word I do this to is "Aussie" because it's shorter to type out, but for anyone saying it, the Ss need to be pronounced as Zs.."Ozzies" Which I realise based on my other complaints makes no logical sense!
There are really no words in their original state I can think of that bother me, I'm fine with all the usual suspects such as moist and panties etc.

Mispronounced words and silly "shortened" words- Sammie is the same # of syllables as Sandwich- we do things like this and then wonder why people from other countries cant understand what we are saying.
In sports "physicality" makes me flinch every time I hear it

I was all set to say that I couldn't think of any words that I had any real distaste for, and then I read your post and thought "Ugh! Yes, that!!" I don't like hearing someone use that word for another person, and I really wouldn't want any partner of mine to ever use in in regards to me.

I really don't mind the word moist, and cannot understand why people do. I do dislike panties. I guess it's shorter than saying underwear, but I don't really like that word either! LOL!
My pet peeve is supposebly. I had a supervisor who used that word a lot, and pronounced it wrong each time.
I said to myself, especially, and I pronounced it correctly. However, when I said groceries, I did put the SH in the middle! Now I have to watch myself!
I loved Quiznos when we had one around here. My favorite sandwich was a chicken Sammie. So maybe that's where Sammie came from? But I only say it when I want that specific sandwich. I don't say egg salad sammie or peanut butter & jelly sammie.

Puke. I can't stand anything about the action, no matter what word is used. I have a bit of a phobia, beyond the general dislike. But throw up, vomit doesn't bother me to hear as much as that word.
ETA also I hate when people use the word gifted instead of given. "We were gifted this used piano" instead of "We were given this used piano".
