define abused ... lol.
I would say ... out of context and wrong meaning would be abuse of a word.

Love is used a lot , misunderstood more than abused.

the F word is abused more often in general conversation ... just not in print.

A**hole is another word that may be abused often ... maybe not ... the meaning may fit the use.

Bîtch for sure is abused ... for it is not used at all or rarely in its real meaning ... to me that is the strongest type of abuse of a word.
Gay ... fits into this situation ... the meaning has been stolen from the word and what is now the general meaning is not what the meaning of the word was in the 60's or prior to that.
It had nothing to do with sexual orientation. It had to do with a man who was jolly and enjoying his life all the time ...
listen to the song "They are Coming to Take Me Away" from the 60's ... ..line ..."where people are happy and gay" ... has nothing to do with homosexuals. ... the word was perverted in the 70's.
[now that's gay. ... and not in a good way. lol]

Love ... at least people try to use it right.


Truth ... is abused way too much .... and so is ..... Fact

and then there is the abuse of ... Statistics.

Its a hard call...


in another forum ... Hate .... falls into this idea too.

I hate that .... but really I only dislike it ....
used as much as love in similar ways.


guess it depends where you live.

I would say "hate" & "love" are the most abused because generally speaking no one really "hates" they dis-like and how can you know you "love" you could just be caught up in the "lust" or you are just extremely "infatuated" with that person. Hate and love do not exist to me. That's just my opinion.

I think "looser" is the most abused word, because I have seen 3,882,954 profiles where people say they are tired of dating "loosers."

Read a few billion profiles and you'll be amazed at the consistently bad spelling. A lot of people can't differentiate between "loser" and "looser," or "through" and "threw," or "soulmate" and "solemate."

One of my favorites was "I'm looking for a sweat heart." Sounds like a medical condition to me.

If bad spelling and horribly mangled English (I like to call it manglish) amuse you -- and I know they certainly amuse me! -- then I sweat-heartedly recommend this particular thread for lots of laughs and confusion:
