On the opposite end, I much prefer "thrice"

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Third on a match, here: I like "hat trick."
Looks worse than it sounds: "philately," which has a strange etymology to boot. Another is "synecdoche." I actually caught out my pedantic Auntie when she mispronounced it. She hauled out her unabridged Webster's in disbelief. She was a good sport about it though -- what else can you do?

Fluid. Not so much the sound of it, but it is so overused in the news. Everything is a "fluid situation."

Re: The Ugliest Word in the English Language
I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but, "Hate".
It's a vile word, and depending on your personal background and circumstances, laden with so much evil. I often find myself actively avoiding the usage of it. For example, I will use replacers such as "dislike", even if that's not emotive enough for the situation just so that I don't have to use "hate".

Swiss Luminous, lol. "Swiss lume" is what they mean, but it does seem like an attempt to mislead. Broken over two lines it reads more like: "Swiss; Luminous"
