execrable - adj 1: of very poor quality or condition; "deplorable housing conditions in the inner city"; "woeful treatment of the accused"; "woeful errors of judgment" [syn: deplorable, miserable, woeful, wretched] 2: unequivocally detestable; "abominable treatment of prisoners"; "detestable vices"; "execrable crimes"; "consequences odious to those you govern"- Edmund Burke [syn: abominable, detestable, odious] 3: deserving a curse; "her damnable pride" [syn: damnable]

Phil Ringnalda used it to describe the MSN Spaces blog server. I had to look it up. Ouch, that's harsh.

PS: www.execrable.com is already taken... by a domain name squatter no less.
