"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Billy Beer]

Anything like games, comics etc ARE pop culture. This is how it works. The fact it is obscure or such does not make it anything else automatically.
I had a guy screech at me for referring to Mass Effect as pop-culture. He also wanted to bomb Korea for eating dogs and thought women do not watch porn.
I get it feels unpleasant, but pop-culture is what this IS. It is only not pop if only author shows interest in it, but the second it got a few fans, it is pop-culture.

And when gaming crossed from niche nerd outlet to pop culture bro shooter feelz, it became a shadow of its' former self.

Thread tax: uWu and UoU or whatever. I've no fucking idea what it means and it sounds r3tarded baby speak.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

Adulting. It's a kitschy term used by people who want to be viewed as special for behaving like a typical, responsible adult. Also, i'm 100% certain the people who wear t-shirts that say something like "Done Adulting for the Day." never started at all.

why do americans use the "y'all" so much? I thought that only people who look like the guy from KFC and cowboys talked like that.

I'm from the south and yall has been getting defiled for years. It makes sense considering how highly praised black people are these days and its very common for them to say to make points rather that just mean you/you all.

They let us keep shit like "gitar" and "iffin" though.

And "yikes". It's weird.

From an area that has a lot of Southern influences. Always hated ya'll as a kid and absolutely despise it now. Remember English teachers trying to teach the borderline hillbuck accent out of the class. This hillbuck was broken by a bunch of dorks being annoying on Twitter.

 

[soggy london]

Shawty. Especially coming from neurodivergent Twatter teenagers. The context they've been using it in doesn't even make sense.

 

[Jinmen]

I'm from the southeastern US and have said ya'll so much I do it without thinking now, I'm sorry. It still does bug me a lot when I hear people from "up north" or the west use it though. Haha, you're so quirky!

Kino and based are way overused by people I know. Also "MAP", just call yourself a godamn pedophile.

 

[Sped Xing]

Not exactly current year, but "empath" has crawled its way into my life, and society has somehow decided that telling "empaths" they're full of shit is impolite.

Isn't "I can sense your emotions" just being neurotypical?

"Y'all" is common throughout the South. Over the past 30 years, Yankees have been carpetbagging down our way in their millions, and sticking feathers up their butts.


Also, as previously mentioned, people who don't know better think niggerspeak is something more special than heavily slurred Southern dialect. My go-to example is "finna," which is the Southern phrase "fixing to" meaning "about to," but spoken as though you've received a head wound.

 

[The Last Stand]

When people say "addy" instead of address.

 

[Bionicle of War]

Justice, at least in the sense of climate justice, racial justice, ect.

 

[Devil Buster Busters]

I really dislike the term "nothingburger". There's no way for me to take you seriously if you say this.

 

[The Curmudgeon]

When diversity is used to descibe events or creative works where it's majority or exclusive non-white people. Just because they're not white doesn't mean they're diverse. If they're excluding other non-whites from representation, then that's clearly the opposite of diversity.

 

[Tranimal Farm]

Valid.

Not even in the social justice context but I've had a girl I was tryna fuck agree with what I was saying with "That's so valid tbh" instant boner killer

 

[The Curmudgeon]

One more because it was bugging me: Calling reboots or remakes a "love letter to the fans." Lately, a lot of these reboots and remakes feel more like Dear John letters or slam poetry instead of love letters. I don't feel loved at all by these assholes completely shitting on source material. That's all I'll say about that.

I'm pretty sure that's the canned "this reboot/sequel is good" line they use to try to win over fans of the original, and I've seen it used for both good and bad reboots. However, it does really feel like it's extra popular with pieces of media that feel the need to throw away a lot of the classic in favor of their own interpretation, as you said. Calling MOTU Revelation a love-letter to He-Man is a pretty bold lie considering how much it diverted from the original show in tone and characters.

Exactly. If they don't like the source material, that's fine, but they shouldn't mess with it in the first place. For instance, Kevin Smith could have just made a new show altogether instead wasting everyone's time with MOTU: Revelation. Of course, expecting SJWs to be creative and original is laughable when you look at shit like High Guardian Spice. They WISH they could make something cool, but they can't. So instead they try to find cheap ways to spew their ideology.

I agree yikes is stupid.
However I'm from Texas and I'm pretty sure the word "y'all" appeared half a dozen times on my birth certificate.

We (Southerners) know it's stupid, we know it makes no sense, "you all" is just retarded. We don't care, it's how we was growed up and if you don't like it, or think were stupid for using it? Ok that's fine too.

All that said, if you use "yall" in a professional or academic setting even we think you're fucking stupid. Oh and yankees saying it is weird too.

My current year term:

Toxic

Just tell me that something makes you butthurt and stop trying to make it a national travesty.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I'm getting kind of tired of hearing the word "ideology" thrown around.

 

[The Fair Lady]

Girlboss and malewife

 

[The Curmudgeon]

I'm just sick of ideologies altogether! Aren't we all? Wouldn't it be nice to just live life and not worry about silly shit like ideologies?

"YASSS QUEEN!" Melissa, will you please shut the fuck up? Supporting a woman committing a crime against a man is not being a queen.
