I really hate this word without another word modifying it, because it's such a fundamentally useless word. That, and my grandma likes to walk into a room and order someone to "get the thing," then get irritable when people just stare.
And LKH uses it instead of REAL words, like "kill things," "things low in my body," etc. Perhaps I'm nitpicking, but it always implies to me that someone is too lazy to think up something even marginally more graceful. And it's kind of hard to decipher -- does she mean she wants to walk into a pet store and murder innocent puppies? Does she mean her butt muscles are tightening?
