I am not what you would call a McDonald's fan. I am also not someone who eats there anymore. However, I have to admit that they seem to have a brilliant advertising/marketing team, in the US and at home. So it was extremely disappointing when I came across this ad on a metro bus this morning. The poster displayed a photo of a burger with the following caption; "Nice to meat you". The ad really turned me off. I am not entirely sure why. But I found it extremely repulsive.
The above incident reminded me of a couple of recent conversations I had with friends. They were about how I extremely dislike the word 'bum'. I don't know why this is so. I have no issues with ass, buttocks etc. But, bum, I do not like. I also do not like the word 'dick'. But its usage as a name in an Enid Blyton book makes no difference to me. I don't understand this bias I have.
Any idea?

Didn't you say it was because of the way it sounds? (I think thats the case with me and dick..)
