I guess mine has to be AGRICOLA, right?

10 DAYS IN AFRICA
Geez - this feels like a kid's game and I actually played with friends, spouse, and my parents. Yeesh. After two first turn wins in the same sitting, I just quietly put it away. Good for geography, bad for fun. And I totally read reviews of it before hand, but it was so long ago, so that's my excuse. Before the AT/EURO WAR. If it had happened sooner, you could have saved me...

A close second would probably be PRINCES OF FLORENCE, because it conjures up mental images of malodorous, socially awkward man-children silently fiddling with the cardboard pieces on their player mat while conspicuously avoiding eye contact. I'll admit to spending my own hard-earned money on this. I remember buying it at the same time as CAYLUS (*cue laughter and pointing*) in that early new-to-gaming, "OMG PUERTO RICO IS SO GREAT" phase.
Having said that, I don't hate PRINCES, because my wife and I have played it a few times with another couple (non-gamers, even) we enjoy hanging out with. So I think it's more of a positive association thing, rather than the game itself being super awesome (which is a tough case to make).
Other notable clunkers that I've been gifted or acquired through marriage are CRANIUM, IMAGINIFF, and AN ENCHANTED EVENING (!!!).

My wife teaches biology. She bought Reef Encounter along with Primordial Soup to go in her classroom so kids could play it if they were done with their projects and whatnot. Primordial Soup has been a big hit with us, but Reef Encounter has sat on our shelf unopened for a couple of years now. Neither of us has really cared in learning how to play.

My next closest game to a Euro is Pit, and that really has way too much interaction to be a Euro, it's clearly a mainstream family fun type game.
After that, we're talking hybrids. Is Mall of Horror a Euro? Is A Game of Thrones a Euro? Dungeon Twister?
This thread reminds me, I need to get back my Acquire. I left it at my uncle's house the last time I played it with my parents.

Though hnestly I've dumped more Euros in shrink than I care to admit. Most of them were deals "too good to pass up." I shoulda passed them up.

10 DAYS IN AFRICA, that's a pretty bad one too though.

And my runner up's Niagra. I still think it might be a good game if I could ever bring myself to play it over the MANY other better themed games.

I own TTR PLUS the 1910/mystery train expansion.
I've got some other crap laying around but its all just trade bait, like Puerto Rico, Ra, etc. TTR+ is probably the worst one I'm actually keeping because it gets played.
FORGOT: I've got carcassone the castle. Damn I need to trade that shit!

Reef Encounter.
I'm a sucker for "heavy" tile-laying games so I feel no shame at all in owning this. Reef Encounter and Tigris & Euphrates are at the top of their respective genre.
I've streamlined my collection so much the past few years that I don't own any games I'd be embarrassed by. Anything left has earned its place (except Fury Of Dracula, but that's not going to bring me ricockule from anyone here).
