"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Ariel]

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.

People who still call it novel coronavirus annoy me too. It hasn’t been a novel virus for years.

 

[Meat Target]

"Health", "public health", "healthcare", etc. I associate it with deathfats, munchies, hypochondriacs, and every other species of Cluster B nutjobs who break down at the slightest iota of adversity.

 

[ClownBrew]

"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.

or worse yet-- "healing journey"

 

[Flaming Insignias]

"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."

It's especially bad when people claim every fundraiser is “grifting,” because clearly you're getting scammed if you donate to a candidate you like.

 

[BIG BILL HELL'S]

"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."

It's to the point where the Farms needs to have a word filter that replaces 'grifter' with "I'M A RETARD" or something.

 

[Preferred Penne]

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.

"Underrated" usually translates to "I like this thing and I want to feel special".

Grifter is one of those annoying modern words to describe a provocateur.
People that use that word are the type to fall for obvious ragebait statements.

 

[Cow-Lovin' Fool]

Not technically words but it's related PC behavior:

Ebay sellers listing both men's & women's sizes on shoes now because everything must be unisexed or else...gotta keep Aidan happy with those Size 2 combat boots and keep the troons in their Size 15 pointe shoes

getting as annoying as every single person in commercials being black except for the dog...pretty soon only pitbulls will be allowed as the dog even

 

[Flavius Claudius Julianus]

People calling in sick to work claiming "mental health"

This riles me hard, the use of that tern in any way whatsoever.

'Stop being a sensitive faggot' is the appropriate response 99% of the time.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Every person saying "be gay do crimes" is okay with rape. This is scientific fact.

 

[The-Mad-Asshatter]

'Especially transpeople/ people of color'

'Cultural appropriation'

'Microagression'

'Triggering'

'Safe space'

'-phobia'

'Literal Violence'

'Harm'

'Self Care'

 

[The Last Stand]

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

I can make two worse terms: "jab" and "vax(x)." I'm also getting tired of hearing the name Fauci as well.

 

[Two Dollars]

What’s the difference between “people of color” and “colored people”? They’re the exact same thing using different variations of the exact same words; why is one the respectful, politically correct term while the other is one of the most offensive ways you can refer to a black person?

No difference, it's just banal wordplay at this point to sound 'sensitive.' 'Colored,' and 'Negro' were widely acceptable to use by people at some point, with 'Colored' sometimes still being used by older black people.

It's acronym 'POC' feels atrocious to read, and even more to say. 'POC' makes me think instead of pox, which is a disease that has negative, even lethal connotations. Cow pox, chicken pox, small pox.

And I absolutely hate 'BIPOC.' It especially as it feels too much to me like pompous and greedy black SJWs putting themselves first and (B) grafting to themselves for extra oppression points the still ongoing erasure, issues, suffering and needs of American Indians and the real sympathy and aide still owed towards them (I) with every other disparate group merely being a distant afterthought and a convenient prop by these types to be used as numbers fodder to mine additional sympathy points (POC.)

'BIPOC' makes me want to A-log so bad, and plant my boot so far up these pompous SJWs' asses, that they'll be shitting leather for a week. That's how mad it makes me.

Edited some words and sentences.

 

[Mr. Confederate Man]

“Hi there. How are you doing?”
”Oh, can’t complain.”

That doesn’t answer my question asshole

Edit: Looks like I touched a nerve with the ESL class

 

[Akashic Retard]

I have never heard anyone say this but I am primed and ready to hate the first person I see doing so.

“Hi there. How are you doing?”
”Oh, can’t complain.”

It does answer the question. "I'm doing well enough that I have no complaints. I'm content." Also you must the only person on Earth that wants a comprehensive answer to "how are you?"

Even my racist ass grandad ( God rest his soul) called that shit out, and people of color isn't just for blacks, it's a catchall for anyone considered non-white. It's like these fuckers just want segregation back.

To be fair this woke wordplay horseshit is a pox on modern society and I feel the same way.

Same here. But just in case I'm wrong and dumb people are un-ironically using it, I just hope this isn't going to be a trend any time soon, because it sounds like they are so terminally online, that they have started thinking in computer/internet terms for human interaction.

Will human to human interaction become 'interfacing' and sexual activity become 'inserting plug A into slot B?'

 

[LateralusJambi]

"Internalized"
"Oppression"
"Fetishizing"
"Cultural appropriation"
"Lived experiences"
"Valid"
"POC/BIPOC"
"Bodies"
"Working class"
"Liberal" (when used by tankies)
And a cherry on top: c*ns0ring sh1t l1k3 th15

Personally I'm torn on which is worse...creeping ebonics or creeping internetspeak
