Word aversion: Words that irritate you for no reason

..How about Swifties?

Depends on which Swift you're talking about; Jonathan, Tom, or Taylor. I have done crossword puzzles whose theme was based on the Tom Swift series of kids books. Those puzzles were called 'Swifties'.

This is a dark one, but I hate how some use the term "unalive/d" now. I get why it's being used...apparently to circumvent social media censorship of violent terms, but it just sounds wrong. And if it's used for conversation face to face, or when I see it in an actual news article...it sounds extremely unintelligent.
