"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Faket0Fake]

"*insert subject* are not a monolith", no particular reason it's just one of those terms people read and thought saying it makes them sound smarter so they parrot it at every opportunity. It's like that episode of Family Guy where peter hears a critic say "shallow and pedantic" and repeats it constantly. It also happened in the anime fandom when a review called Magica Madoka a "deconstruction of the magical girl genre" and literally everything was a "deconstruction" after that because nobody understood what that actually meant.

 

[The Last Stand]

Being "unalive".

 

[AmazingEagle]

Being "unalive".

That's just being dead with extra steps.

 

[SandyCat]

"Neuro divergent"
"Neuro diversity"

I miss when you could just call someone a tard

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

When people say "addy" instead of address.

I kept thinking people were asking for Adderall. Very disappointed now.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

"Neuro divergent"
"Neuro diversity"

Real spergs and autists were not consulted on this change.

Can someone just turn the OP into a glossary, similarly to the troonspeak thread?

• fatshaming (aka the truth hurts)
• kinkshaming (aka nonce patrol)
• sexworker (aka hooker, aka prostitute, aka whore)
• partner (aka poly participant, aka noncommittal fuckboi you're embarassed to admit won't get a you ring, aka faggot)
• valid (aka omg best hugbox buddies)
• educate yourself (aka get brainwashed until you think the way I want you to)
• lit (aka tardspeak for anything good)
• finna (aka tardspeak mushmouth for "am going to")
• boo (aka future deadbeat father)
• bae (aka future deadbeat father or single mother)
• representation (aka overrepresenation of shitty people)
• diverse (aka only darkies; aka only SJW cult approved thoughts)
• reparations (aka whities owe everyone else for atrocities committed by jews or not committed at all)

• whitewashing (aka not ghetto enough)
• gentrification (aka cleaning up a bad neighborhood is somehow bad because white people)
• suspect (aka we fucking saw the nignog do it)

I know I'm missing at least a few hundred entries, but I've got shit to do today.

1) "Boys, girls and in between"
2) Referring to a boy/girlfriend or husband/wife as a partner instead of their actual term to keep the other person's gender a secret.

 

[Akashic Retard]

I am sick to death of the overuse of the word "deeply". It's one of those words that isn't even political, and yet it seems to be used exclusively by leftists and corporate journalists.

 

[Sped Xing]

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.

No, stupid was saying "you" when one meant "thou," but here we are. People wore powdered wigs and avoided bathing in the Eighteenth Century, too. Mistakes were made. "Y'all" is better than having no second person plural pronoun.

English could also benefit from distinguishing inclusive first person plural ("we" meaning you, me, and us) and exclusive (me and my friends but not you.)

In the foreign language classes I've taken, they actually teach the concept of plural second person pronouns using "y'all." English has all kinds of moronic idiosyncrasies.

 

[Jennifer Lopez]

Anytime a statement starts with “Friendly reminder” I know it will be followed by the gayest thing I have heard all day.

 

[AmazingEagle]

Girlboss and malewife

Malewife is just being a husband with extra steps.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

"Died by" suicide. It severely lessens the impact the act has on loved ones.

Point this out and you get fucking mocked.

 

[Demislob]

I'm already becoming pissed off with the word "metaverse". Actually any word with "verse" in it. Just feels like such a cheap way to push something as innovative and expansive

 

[The Last Stand]

Biz nood. What the hell is that?

 

[Billy Beer]

cope, seethe, dilate. Not only does it sound retarded, but it's another example of 'cult words', that people use to feel included in a group. Any and all cult words are retarded.

From wasssuuup to woke. It's socially engineered nonsense used by soulless, unoriginal people who cannot, or will not, think for themselves.

 

[BlaireWhitesBottom]

If they're not from Texas or the deep south, then it's just suburban white kids trying too hard to act black.

sorry that i was good looking at what they were (basketball and football) and just absorbed some of their terms through osmosis ok? im trying to be whiter day by day.

 

[The Last Stand]

"Stolen land." If people feel so strongly about it, give up your house and such then.

 

[Kuchipatchi]

"Stolen land." If people feel so strongly about it, give up your house and such then.

And then watch them try and justify their retainment of "stolen property" like the evil white people they see others as.
