"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Beverly Laurel]

Problematic
That word has been overused way, waaaay too much recently.

 

[Windows XP Home Edition]

"Neurodivergent" makes me think of that stupid shitty Divergent book series and the horrible movie adaptations that came after.

 

[Trapitalism]

It's probably been said before but "people of color". "BIPOC" is even worse. It's weird to have a specific word to describe an outgroup. Not to mention, black is the absence of color and that some who'd be considered "POC" would have lighter skin.

 

[Dysnomia]

It gets worse: some SJ types are now trying to popularize the term "people of global majority" to describe nonwhites. They are actively asserting that whites are a global minority, and that makes it fine to suppress them, even in their own homelands.

My my... That sounds like racism.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

Optics. I overheard someone use it in conversation yesterday, and something inside me shriveled and died.

 

[Angry Canadian]

"educate yourself"
"The intersectionality of X and Y"
"sweet summer child"
and anything to do with basically any "ism"

 

[A-Stump]

The term 'lifehack' pisses me off and I don't know why.

 

[Sped Xing]

The term 'lifehack' pisses me off and I don't know why.

Is it because the advice given by "lifehack" users is always either obvious or stupid?

 

[Ted_Logan]

"bestie"

What more to be said? It sound cringey af

 

[Sandraker]

Passive aggressive terms like
"Let's not"
"How about no"
"Yikes"
And especially in modern day Twitter "Yeah and?" And your a complete limp wrist faggot.

I also feel X anxiety has been used too much for such minor things that people consider real problems.

If you say you have "social anxiety" all the time I'm just going to assume you're an complete online addict who's too much of a bitch to learn some social skills cause you act like a retard when ordering a fucking pizza.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

Weird flex but ok. Just another example of that overused internet snark I despise so much.

 

[A-Stump]

Any white people using black slang. Even worse, intentionally misspelling words to how it's pronounced in jungle speak. It has to take more effort than just writing like a normal human being and has the added effect of making you look like a retard.

 

[Kaiser Wilhelm's Ghost]

16 year olds claiming to be Genderfluid, Gender Queer, demi-sexual or Pansexual when ascribing their sexuality.

Seriously you're a kid, with no life experience, shut the fuck up and go do something productive with your time like math or shop homework.

It's worse when they've carried that mindset well into adulthood. At least with teenagers, it's at least somewhat understandable why they would want to appear special or different and they'll hopefully grow out of it. Many don't though, it seems.

 

[American Epicenter]

Trigger warning or TW/, Egirl/Eboy any retarded zoomer term on TIkTok, bipoc, and tone indicators

 

[Flaming Insignias]

The many variations of “Didn’t ask.” It’s a hugbox phrase and is almost always used in response to someone having their awful takes criticized.

 

[Sped Xing]

Weird flex but ok. Just another example of that overused internet snark I despise so much.

It's equivalent to people who buy those bumper stickers with a stick figure humping the word "it."

Very clever, oh so funney. You are very creative with your joke.

 

[Honk Hill]

I've always hated the term "game changer", especially when reddit tier plebs try some new fastfood item and are like OMG bronerinos this is a total game changer.

It's fast food rubbish, if you want a culinary game changer or a transcendental experience, grill some 8+ wagyu on charcoal with a good red wine.

This one is especially stupid since life is messy and chaotic as fuck. Humans are emotional creatures and we're not meant to be bland and perfect 100% of the time.

 

[Sped Xing]

Bogo.

If I buy one, and get one, I have one.
