If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

When this question first came up, the obvious thought of particular swear words or a pejorative towards feminists crossed my mind.

When reading the biography of Ben Franklin, he inspired me in a different direction. It would be to not use a word that could be judged as egotistical or one that tried to convince someone of your position. Rather, he supposed was if you could inform or educate someone to come to a more enlightened position rather than beat them over the head (which I do here) with your beliefs, you are a better man.
