"Current year" terms that piss you off

Taking something foreign and altering it to fit one's own sensibilities is often described by snowflakes as 'cultural appropriation'. Yet here the snowflakes are doing the same thing. Is that described as 'hypocrisy'?
It's perfectly okay when they do it because reasons. My favourite thing to do to them is tell them that they're trying to colonize my language and it makes them really fucking angry.
 
'I am based in'/'(insert name of town) based (insert useless service sector job) (insert Millennial sounding name)'. No, no you aren't. You arent paint or food colouring or the Hughes Aircraft Corporation. You LIVE in London or Berlin or Timbuctoo or wherever the Hell it is you claimed to be 'based'. Bleerch.
 
A minor one, but the fashion for replacing any and all intensifiers with the word 'super' is really starting to grate.
I feel the same way about "totes" for totally. The first thing the word makes me think of is either the brand of shoes by that name or plastic storage containers.

"Inclusive" is the new trendy term nowadays that is used ad nauseum by the woke. The term is also really corporate.
Not to mention that the desire for required inclusiveness seems more tokenizing than allowing it to happen as naturally as possible.

"Super spreader" is starting to piss me off when it's used by doomers to describe any group of any size that might contain unvaccinated and/or infected people who could spread COVID. Bonus points if it's used to keep people fearful or as a way to advocate continued restrictions or a return of lockdowns.

and of course, it was only a "super spreader" if it was a Trump rally or the Sturgis motorcycle gathering. I remember seeing some article-I don't remember from who-that argued that not only were the riots last summer not "super spreader" events, but that they helped to slow the spread of the virus.
 
"If Democrats didn't have double standards they'd have no standards at all."

Which is basically the same as having no standards. Fucking righties, God. They can be just as appallingly stupid and NPC-ish as the left.
"If X didn't have double standards. . ." is a cliche probably hundreds of years old at least.

Yes, it's a cliché phrase that's probably been driven into the ground, but it also keeps getting vindicated, so people keep saying it.
 
Watching Turning Point 9/11 in Netflix, some black bitch said sheroes.. as in lady heroes. Apparently hero is a gendered term now, fucking kill me.
Seeing as "heroine" already existed and isn't *as* stupid there was no reason for her to even invent that.
What is it with "equity" instead of "equality"?

Is "equality" not "woke" enough now?
Because it's not enough for whatever group lefties are supporting right now to be 'equal' with whom they believe as priviledged, they need to be given more 'rights' to be given an ADVANTAGE over others. That's what equity is about.

It's socialist thinking, brought through a racial lens. Equality simply means equal opportunities, but equity means equal outcomes in these circles. The goal is to drag everyone else down to prop up a few people, same as every other aspect of Marxist thought.

So "equity" is of the identity politics bullshit that all of a kind are the same, and that "collective punishment" thing commies like?

Sucks that this bullshit is mainstream now, but then again this is Clown World.
 
The insidious thing about equity versus equality is that is gets rid of meritocracy, work or merit being awarded based on talent, despite labels. Equity makes it all about the labels,(race, sex, etc) not the quality of your work. Equity is impossible, too. There’s no way to enforce equal outcomes without being overlord dick-tater’s. (Much like socialism.) Equity is a virtue signal, impossibility, & a good warning (imo) to stay the fuck away.

And in many cases I've observed, the complaining person is talking about events that are much smaller than either of those and events they never intended to go to in the first place. It just seems like a bunch of alarmist garbage at this point, especially when one considers which germs and illnesses other than COVID truly spread rapidly in public without people freaking out over "super spreader" concerns.
