Beyonce Knowles has revealed that she hates her Destiny's Child hit, Bootylicious, because the word has become overused.

"I'm proud I got it into the dictionary but you know, I hate that word," Knowles is quoted by Teen Hollywood as saying.

"Every time someone introduces us now, 'It's the bootylicious Destiny's Child.'

"If I had known it was going to have this life of its own, I would have given it a different definition."
