gutted
意味 (英話)[通例 be ～]〈人が〉がっかりして; 疲れ果てて.
Placing second is ‘gutted’ with a 94.7% share of upvotes. To be ‘knackered’ placed third, while ‘Bob’s you’re uncle’ placed fourth with a 90.3% share of upvotes, which begs the question, who is Bob, and who on Earth is his Uncle?

graft
意味 (英· くだけて) （一生懸命に） 働く.
Second on the most hated list, is ‘graft’. Could this be a reaction to Love Islanders constantly talking of ‘grafting’ to get the object of their affection?

ここまで、辞書に載ってる意味でいいのか不明w 文脈わからないとね…。
Mooch
意味 うろつく, ぶらぶら歩く (about, around, along).
Mooch takes the third spot with a 33.4% share of downvotes, so don’t you dare take to Instagram to share pics of your lazy Sunday afternoon ‘mooching’ down some cobbled streets.
