    I was thinking along their standard meanings, not their slang meanings.

      "Loathe" is also an annoying word.

        Slack.

        It sounds like it should mean 'tight' but it actually means 'loose'. Awful.

            annoying is pretty irritating. mainly because it's so nasal sounding.

                And let's not get in that 'irritating'.

                Words starting with 'ir' aren't too hot in any situation. Irresistible, irritating, irrigation...

                  Another one: 'trousers'.

                  It definitely doesn't give enough respectability to this noble garment.

                      By contrast, 'paws' and 'gouache' are incredibly cool words...

                            paws isn't that hot.
                            and gouache just sounds too highfalutin.

                                Gouache.

                                gouache

                                \Gouache\, n. (F., It. guazzo.) A method of painting with opaque colors, which have been ground in water and mingled with a preparation of gum; also, a picture thus painted.
