"Current year" terms that piss you off

[ToroidalBoat]

"Community Guidelines" sounds so soy or passive-aggressive somehow.

"Self healing" and "self care", which more than often boils down to self pampering nowadays.

I know we all need something to blow off steam after days of doing works or assignments, but come on.

I've seen people using those term to justify their consoomer habits such as unneeded vacations and buying a huge amount of toys and vidya, not to mention gacha. Others also used them as an excuse to slacking off.

I agree with this and will add that I hear this at every meeting, from every COVID update from the big boss, a reminder to practice "self care". Please say that in the most insipid tone that you can so you feel just as patronized as I do when they're asking us to go above and beyond contract. Self care? Yeah, I'm going to smoke an artisanal bowl then crack open some canned wine while taking a shower like I do every Friday, but how about you give me a goddamned day off, stop sticking swabs up my nose, and buy the staff some lunch from our local deli?

I dunno man it was pretty funny when the chuck e cheese livestream thing happened and he says it before whimpering like a gun's being held to the puppeteer's head offscreen.

I'll give you that one. Also this video of a girl saying it is good. This video is so awful it circles back around to being fantastic, I love it.

Spoiler: video

That's what Phil (ADF) meant with "self care".

RULES FOR MY DISCORD SERVER:
#1: Don’t be political
#2: Absolutely no bigotry including homophobia, transphobia, hate speech, racism, sexism, misgendering…

They can interpret those buzzwords so broadly that they can apply them to anything they don't like.

What is this bullshit with calling hobos "houseless" instead of "homeless" now?

 

[Akashic Retard]

As of today, March 3rd 2022, I am sick of the word oligarch.

"Mid" there is no scale of attractiveness, either it's fuckable or it's not.

I really hate people that can't respect the attractiveness scale. Think with some nuance for once in your life.

Zoomer slang, specifically “that tracks”

I'm not sure this is a zoomer thing, it's something a lot of military people say. Say something and then say "tracking?" at the end of it to basically mean "you understand?"

I guess it's because they think the homeless can still have a "home" in the "community"?

(Phil (ADF) went with that "houseless" over "homeless" thing too.)

 

[Muppetstudios]

People calling in sick to work claiming "mental health"

 

[Non-Threatening Niall]

I've run into people recently that were confused what I meant when I called it "the coof" in a casual conversation with someone despite people calling it for the last 2 years.

Ugh. I have a blind, irrational, vendetta-like hatred of that word and I'm lucky I've never heard it irl, otherwise I'd prolly have no teeth left by now.

 

[Poyo Sato]

Retards calling something they like as "underrated" and something they don't like as "overrated", even when talking about mundane things such as foods. I won't forget that one time when someone talk to me about how ramen is overrated, while shilling udon as an underrated food.

I guess simply stating that you like or dislike something without being condescending or fanatical is too hard or not quirky enough.

 

[The Fair Lady]

That obnoxiously forced "bing chilling" meme.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"influencer"

(it can really mean something like "propagandist" or "bullshitter")

This made me realize that most of these conversational examples are the result of poor language skills. Many people can't or won't express themselves well so they rely on clichès and what everyone else is saying.

That sounds like a soy-as-fuck encounter btw

 

[Sperghetti]

"Journey".

Oh my god, have I come to loathe people talking about any ongoing experience they're having as a journey. Especially because "journey" implies an eventual destination and in like 99% of these cases, it's something that will never, ever be resolved.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

"weasel words"

It just sounds like childish, holier-than-thou, conspiratard boomerism. Just say they're being deceptive, you stupid fucking cunts.

 

[Michael Jacks0n]

Honestly "COVID". I just hate the way it sounds when you say it and would rather just say "coronavirus".

IIRC "coronavirus" is just a generic name for the type of virus Covid belongs to -- in this case, when it was discovered it was just dubbed "the novel coronavirus", whereas "Covid-19" specifically refers to be infected with said virus. It's something along those lines, but yeah, I remember back at the very beginning of WuFlu when Metokur did a bunch of streams and simply called it coronavirus.

 

[Local Fed]

"Grifter" as it applies to politics. 95% of the time it's just used to say "I don't like this person or what they're saying."

 

[Atli]

I feel visceral anger when I hear the term "poggers."

Poggers is so horrendeously retarded that it comes around to making me laugh again.

Also people who say bruh need to be whipped like the apes theyre imitating
