Infomercial

Infomercials (or informercials)(....ew even worse!) are television commercials that run for durations ranging from one minute to as long as a typical television program. Infomercials are also known as paid programming (or teleshopping in Europe). Originally, they were typically shown overnight (usually 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.) --- outside of peak hours. Some television stations chose to air such programming as an alternative to the former practice of sign-off. By 2008, most infomercial spending is during early morning, daytime, and evening hours.

Thanks wikipedia for that great description of a terrible thing. Okay so this word isn't that terrible but we all know how terrible the thing is. So that being said bring on the infomercials....



and finally...

Sack

noun
a large bag of strong coarse materials for holding objects of bulk

Alright I like balls, duh. But I can't stand the word sack. There is something so grimy about it, it really makes me cringe. Also I know that I could have posted a myriad of actual sack photos but I found this one to be the most amusing/terrifying.

Rendezvous

verb.

to meet at a rendezvous


As a noun, this is an acceptable, and even interesting, word. As a verb, it is absolutely terrible if only for the words created in the tense changes.

Rendezvoused? Rendezvousing? Rendezvouses? YES, these are all horrendous words.



Thank you Cathleen and Stephanie for this photographic evidence, but no thank you for introducing me to the fact that rendezvoused is an actual word.
