Weak - a very discouraging word Options

[PiFfYmYpIFfPiFf]

Okay Im still new here and the last thing I want to do is cause arguments but I feel I can express my opinions here. I hate a certain word and it is not even a swear word. In fact I can handle swearing but when I hear this word I cringe. It is the word WEAK. The other spelling I can handle because it is a totally different meaning. The word WEAK to me has always been a nasty word. Maybe to me just because of the way it sounds. I would rather someone use the word TIRED. While it is not totally the same meaning it somewhat is. Weak basically sounds worthless or hopeless and I can't stand it when I hear it in songs. Again that is just me. Tired doesn't have a hopeless or worthless feeling attached to it. I must be a first to hate this word. But maybe not. Okay I just needed to get this off my chest.

Weak can be offensive to some people, but It can also be used to describe someone who is ill and not able to do things.

i dk i don't think it's a bad word

[PiFfYmYpIFfPiFf]

I guess if person is ill it is okay to use it. I prefer to use the word tired when someone is ill. But if it used to describe a person in a losing battle for example I don't like it. Again that is just me.

your argument is weak

I guess in the right context, it could definitely be discouraging. I don't mind hearing it, as long as the person using it isn't referring to me. haha

Tired =/= Weak.

[PiFfYmYpIFfPiFf]

I don't think it is. Everyone has a right to express how they feel.

your argument is weak

I love it.

[PiFfYmYpIFfPiFf]

I don't like the word but depending on the context I think it can be bad or good.

I guess it depends on what someone's talking about. If someone's calling you weak or something personal... than it might just be something you can use to prove them wrong. Otherwise, I think it's a suitable word to describe something.

every time you say or hear weak, add sauce to the end of it. it makes things better :)

actually i add sauce to the end of everything.
lamesauce, weaksauce... use your imagination.

[PiFfYmYpIFfPiFf]

Hmmm okay I must try that. I could think of other words too that would be funnier. Example: buttsauce, sh!tsauce, sausagesauce, fudgesauce, asssauce. I could think of a few more but I don't want to get into trouble for posting them here as they are a bit nastier. I will have to think of some more words.

I dont think it's a really bad word in general, but it could be in certain contexts. I reckon it's suitable in some cases, like the ill thing as said above. It just depends.

at the sauce thing.

I add sauce to a lot of things too. fagsauce is probably my favorite.

Aside from being discouraging, "weak" is a truthful, and sometimes deceptive word. It is used by the arrogant and the modest alike. It describes the physical and the intangibles so it is a useful word. Finally, it takes a person with a lot of strength to admit his/her weaknesses.

What's there not to like about the word again?

People assume young people are weak emotionally or mentally and that is not always the case. I consider myself a VERY strong person, not really physically, but mentally and emotionally. I have tackled so many things without stumbling that some people twice my age would have tripped over. It offends me when people call me or "youths" weak.

In that sense, I suppose it is the wrong word to choose. But, discouraging? It motivates me even more when people that don't know me think I am weak.

I've never seen weak as a horrible word....obviously sometimes in certain contexts, its not a very good word and yes it can be discouraging but its not that terrible is it?
