Ok I think I've got the negative words covered. Its important to be able to truly express exactly how you feel about people. I'm just giving you the tools, man.
But since its Friday and I hate to end the week on a bad note here are some nice words for those good friends you love and adore.

What does it say about me that I can think of a lot more negative words than positive ones? Perhaps I am vitriolic? (You can look it up when you get home. - Tom Lehrer)
Actually what I think it means is that there are many more wonderful colorful NEGATIVE words than positive ones. It must just be part of the human condition to want to fully, completely, and poetically express just exactly what you find unappealing about someone or something. Unless of course you write love poems, which obviously I don't.
