"Current year" terms that piss you off

I loathe the way that interior designers/architects have started to refer to 'rooms' as 'spaces', always with this dumb look on their face and breathy air in their voice that makes them sound like they think it's something profound.

"This space really speaks to me"

"This space is airy and full of natural light"

"We're going to open up this space"

It's unbearably pretentious and stupid at the same time.

Aside from all the alphabet soup terminology and general Twitter social justice terms and words abused so much they lose their meaning?
It's probably already been said before but I hate the term "Do better". Usually said after a whiney, smug as fuck rant about how someone was ignorant/misinformed/or not respectful enough in someone's eyes.

Fuck you, your smug comment only makes me hate you and inspires me to do worse just to spite you.

Edit: words are hard

Bussin'

You sound like a tard. Zoomer nignog slang is annoying in general but that gets special mention. Also I got served a Kraft mac & cheese ad that has noisy kid sound while a noodle sucks in the word "fussin'" and spits out "bussin'"

I wanted to die

Edit: LOOK AT IT. SUFFER THE CRINGE WITH ME

"Life Hack." What a dumb fucking term the normies created for either something you make that's ridiculously over-the-top for what would otherwise be a simple/obvious solution; or some gimmicky shit like a "weight loss life hack" for something you refuse to work on yourself and get to the root of the problem.

I hate that one too. I also hate these self-help type news articles, or most of the time it's some kind of advertisement, that'll say something like, "Level up your ______". Real life isn't a video game, you motherfucking faggot. Stop writing like that. Nobody talks like that, ever.

"People of color," when referring to anyone who isn't white. It really rubs me the wrong way and I'm not exactly sure how to articulate it.

The only actual "people of color" are blacks. No, Asians are not "people of color", they're whiter than most Caucasians. Neither are Spanish people. You speak Spanish, where does that language come from? Spain! A White, European country. Neither are dot Indians, despite some of them being darker than actual niggers. No, you're not people of color, you're people of curry.

"Remember to practice self-care." Yeah, stay home and eat Cheetos and jerk off all day every once in a while, I guess.

Doesn't "self-care" just mean "give in to depression"?

I'm mixed on that one.
I think most of the time "self-care" days should really be called "I don't feel like going to my shitty job to be treated like a subhuman for shitty pay that will never get me out of my class bracket so I'm fucking off and watching movies" days. But alas, we live in an age where people can't just be depressed and tired of the shithole that is modern day western living, it has to be a clinical ailment so they can be indulged by the same polite society that makes them miserable in the first place.

Just take a day off for "relaxation", or say you need a day off "to rest". Don't call it "practicing self care" because that sounds extremely homosexual.

Not just that but it's almost always said by the type of people who don't do anything to begin with. Virtually every time that I read a post about needing to "Practice self care" it's said by an e-thot or someone else who doesn't have normal person/real problems. It's almost never someone that works as a line cook or on a construction site that's talking about practicing self care, but rather some "social media influencer" or someone who has never even used the stove in the apartment that they've lived in for five years. If half of your day is dedicated to figuring out which Instagram filter is the best fit for today's batch of selfies I never want to hear you utter the words "practicing self care."

Jesus, you have an almost autistic ability to break down why certain phrases are absolute shit. I didn't even think of that until you said it.
Yeah, if you work retail or any other mindnumbing dehumanizing menial work, go ahead and take a day off for yourself but of course the people saying that the most are the ones who never actually need to take a day off.
Thank you.

"Lived experience"

Sociological and psychological research is shit (I will refrain from detailed springing), but you know what is even worse? Anecdotes

Just read something suggesting to not read research on autistic experiences because the only thing that matters is what the individual tells you. Because of course random individuals are experts and unbiased sources (they are such perfect creatures that they would never lie, they are not capable of any wrongdoing)! Imagine saying the same for smoking or type 2 diabetes. Yes boss, the doctor told me I HAVE TO be able to eat candy constantly during the day, even when meeting clients!
It is preaching to the choir to say this here - but the contemporary approach to remove any concept of "normalcy" and instead pretend there is no such thing as "average" or "normal" behavior in order to indulge autistic responses is retarded.

I don't care little Timmy is stressed when you tell him to not bark loudly or yell. If he ever wants to have a decent job, he will have to adapt. If he changes that to something like fidgeting and shaking his hands, then whatever. He is still not becoming President of the US. I can accept that, everyone has their ticks and odd behaviours. Everyone will still recognise those behaviours as odd, it's dumb to force people to suppress their natural response to odd/strange/unnatural things.
