Many people use words that now-a-days are out of context. For example, using words such as 'literally', 'trust' and 'sweat' mean different things to people who are not in the same generation. Teenagers seem to use these words often and turn them into 'slang words'. 'Trust' has been shortened down from 'trust me' and 'sweat' doesn't mean what happens when you exercise; eg, it can mean that someone has been playing on the Xbox for a while and hasn't stopped playing it- that would make them a sweat at the game. These words have been used in mainly teenage generations and have become so popular that most people are starting to dislike the words and not say them in the right context.
Taboo words are often used to call someone a name by being rude. 'C**t', 'bellend' and 'slut' are also used a lot in the teenage generations and can also be used out of context too. However, these words are liked or disliked due to how they are said. Calling someone a 'c**t' sounds aggressive and powerful. 'Slut' is used out of context than any of the other words as it can be hurtful to some people. Boys would normally associate girls as being 'sluts' as a general comment when they haven't actually been one. Most adjectives are liked and sound good when they are used in a sentence because it makes it sound better with the right fillers. For example, words like 'amazing', 'lush' and 'peng' emphasis your speech and makes it sound more interesting.
Food is also a popular category for likes and dislikes of words. 'Nugget' and 'sprout' are dislikes as they sound different or make people cringe. This could also be the way they are said. 'Honey' is a word that is liked as you can be nice, calling someone your 'honey', and they would take it as a nickname or compliment.
