Noisome

I was just doing a little reading and I came across the word 'noisome'. As is my wont when coming across unusual words, I looked it up. Now many of you may know that the word 'noisome' has absolutely nothing to do with noise. The dictionary defines it:
adj.
1. Offensive to the point of arousing disgust; foul: a noisome odor.
2. Harmful or dangerous: noisome fumes.

I find it extremely irritating that this word exists as a description of a noxious odor. It goes against my principles to use this word, so I ask all of you to join me in boycotting the word 'noisome'.

I concur! This word is a disgrace to our society and should be banned from use. I, therefore, second your notion to boycott said word.

I disagree entirely; noisome is badass.
