"Handicapable"
They're not capable of shit. They're cripples. And if these people are capable of anything, considering half of them are over the age of 50, it's probably the capability to hear disabled or handicapped without getting angry enough to do shit in response... which they can't anyways.
Wait, people are using that term now? Oh lord the nostalgia...
"I'm not handicapped I'm handicapable" we'd sing at recess in 1992 while doing the limp arm thing and laughing till our sides hurt.
 
People adding (TM) onto the end of things for reasons I cannot explain.

Usually done by "alt" girls who can't survive with out social media.

Not sure what a good example is, they will post something like:

"Having a badfeels(TM) day gamers. :( :( :("

It is insanely retarded and I do not understand at all.
its the tm from trademark. as to make it sound more legit in a quirky way. its very retarded. i guess it could be an abreviation for "trust me" but i dont think thats the case.
What does that "lets go" even mean?
its the teenaged boy way of saying "yay". honestly its like the faggy english version of the much cooler spanish "olé"

"""Boundaries"""
I get it but I feel it's mostly used by shitty people who just learned basic psychology to escape having to actually be supportive or there for other people. I feel like anyone who says "boundaries" would probably be the faggot to get a call from an actually suicidal friend and then explain how the behavior is crossing a line
I disagree. You need to be assertive about that kind of thing. I've had too many people try to drag me into their bullshit because I had a do-gooder complex and couldn't tell them "no".

Sorry, but I am not a therapist. There are things that I cannot fix.

I see it as one of those terms like "gaslight" where when used appropriately I have no issue with it, but they're both too often abused. It ("boundaries") too often gets used to excuse being an asshole kind of like how some people who use being "assertive" as their excuse for when they're being an asshole.

Much like "gaslight" people often use "boundaries" to escape or ignore criticisms. "Anyone telling me something I don't want to hear is gaslighting me and I need to make stronger boundaries to tighten my hugbox keep out toxic people/dissenters/hate/pushback, etc."
 
I'll be honest, I have more respect for the term gaslighting than I do 'boundaries', if only because I've seen more cases of the former.
The former gets abused online to basically say "people I don't like" but has a very specific type of scenario where it fits. If someone is trying to make you think you're the abusive one while you're crying in front of them and starting to question whether they have mentally been poking at you for the past hour/week/month when they obviously have, that's gaslighting. The only way gaslighting even works if the other person has no idea what the fuck it is or how to combat it due to their psyche being fucked by their abuser. Not when it's a dyke who had to hear reality for the first time in a month.
But boundaries to me is just one of those that bothers me on another level because most of the people I've met who've said it are mostly narcissists.

I know this might not be you, but I also think that goes along with the term and is why I hate it.
To me boundaries are one of those things you should put up, as I've had to several times with shitty people. But it's something you do, not something you tell someone or others constantly that you're doing to show how enlightened you are. It's like "toxic". It's a thing that exists but it probably results in a child getting aids somewhere in the world whenever the word is said out loud.
No, you're not a therapist. You're their friend/family or another human coexisting in polite society. You do have a moral obligation to be there for people mentally/physically on some level. And telling someone who you are supposed to care about to go in debt for a quack who you know probably isn't going to help them that much either does not serve a purpose. Human beings need companionship that they don't have to pay for.
There are obvious examples of bitches who cover their sociopathy as depression and I've met several of them. You don't set up boundaries, though. You just call them a cunt, hand them a rope and hope they know how to tie it.
Sorry, I know I might be coming across as an asshole right now and I know that you're probably not the strawman I'm thinking of, so I'm sperging. It's just I've met a dude who said "your happiness isn't my problem", who by proxy was a government assisted asshole who literally needed other peoples' kindness in order to survive. So I get a little assmad when I hear others say similar things anymore.
 
Sorry to double post but "assertive" is also retarded.
Anytime that I've seen anyone succeed by being assertive, they could have succeeded even more by being dominant.
You have to be a sociopath to make it through the modern day western world. I've had way too many situations where I got my way from being a total cunt to someone. Not one time when I went for some gay middling level of confidence did anything productive happen. Whenever a counselor tells you to be assertive, just replace it with "Out-douche the people literally abusing/harassing you and they will either respect you or shut the fuck up" and you'll do pretty well in life.

I think there's an entire SpongeBob episode about this.
