My choice is higiénico It's difficult to pronounce and sounds feo, unlike most Spanish words.

I would have to agree that "higiénico" is not a very pleasant word to say.

But for me, I have always been frustrated with the word "Estacionamiento", which means "parking". Every time I'm in a Latin American country and see that sign, I feel exhausted just looking at it, let alone saying it. (jeje)

Lol. Whats the word for "parking tickets", getting a parking ticket is probably double unpleasant... ;) - cheeseisyumm Oct 29

I really dislike the word "imbécil" in any language. I think it's an ugly, mean word. On the other hand - the word "acne" is so ugly sounding in English, but in Spanish "acné" sounds a little romantically tragic..."Padezco de acné" has a sort of "Wuthering Heights" feeling to it, don't you think?

Thanks! You just gave me the word that describes one of my best friends. He eats his tacos with his mouth open just like a gorrino! - 005457e3 Oct 29

I remember one day going to the doctor with one of our kids. I will never forget what he said to us, my wife and myself: "Lo que el niño tiene es gingivoestomatitis herpética aguda"

Please do not ask me what this is. Doctors here might know. rolleyes

That must be about the longest word in Spanish. If not, do you know what word is, Eddy? - 005457e3 Oct 29
And the answer is? Just Google. I did, to find this one: electroencefalografistas. I dare you to say that one! - 005457e3 Oct 29
No hay problema :P "electroencefalografistas" es fácil, pero "otorrinolaringólog" es una trabalengua. - Issabela Oct 29

Embotellamiento - bottle-neck is much easier.

Para mí una palabra la más fea es "débil", porque significa "idiota" en mi lengua materna.
