When one mentions the word hater, an avalanche of negative thoughts is set into immediate motion in the minds of those hearing it. The word, of course, bears negative connotations, and so the reaction is justified.
Whether it is the narcissistic chick who believes that her female ‘rivals’ are hating on her sense of style; the noveau riche leaving behind a cloud of brown dust on his village-mates as he drives by in his new sleek Mercedes; or the newly appointed head of department in some low-key organization whose modus operandi seeks to shake the complacency of his junior colleagues, the word is never far from the mind. The word will suddenly materialize on the people’s tongue.
