"Current year" terms that piss you off

  • Thread starter Thread starter AF 802
  • Start date Start date
when a politician or someone being interviewed says "going forward" or "moving forward", it means nothing and once you notice it you can never stop hearing it.

"building momentum" is such an overused term in sports like players will play better because they have "momentum" again it's a nonsense term they use every interview or press conference

I heard someone unironically use the phrase "mansplaining" recently, she used it in a context as she didn't understand what he was saying so it must have a misogynous attempt to confuse her instead of telling her the strait facts. She was speaking to a financial advisor as she didn't know how to properly budget her finances, telling him this story about this previous financial advisor who was "mansplaining" to her, which would suggest she was just ignorant of finances and made the conclusion she was being purposely talked to in a condescending manor instead if the idea she just simply didn't understand him or how finances worked. I think this is phrase actually means "I'm not stupid, this is sexist, that is why I cannot comprehend this subject, it's misogyny and surely not my lack of intelligence"

People being way too quick to use tl;dr or "lmao not reading all that". When tl;dr first came into popularity, you needed at least three paragraphs worth of content before it was warranted. Now that everything is catered to room-temperature IQ normies that only browse the internet with their phones, anything longer than three sentences is bound to get this response from some zoomer that got his attention span rotted out with a steady diet of TikTok. Yeah nigger, most things will appear long when your tiny-ass phone screen can only display seven words per line.

Funny thing is, this is why I much prefer the Farms over other forums. On the Farms I can expect maybe one person to say it. On somewhere like reddit there will be five people saying it and then a bunch of other jackholes riffing off the same stale joke in a comment chain that's five miles long and prevents me from seeing the non-NPC commenters.

"Spoiler alert" is rarely used in the context of story spoilers, and on the rare occasion it is, it's always spoken in the same breath as the spoiler itself. It's just a verbal tic with some people at this point.

"MAGA." It's easy to forget, but MAGA was originally just a political slogan from a campaign 7 fucking years ago. It's bad enough that's it's still in constant circulation, let alone that "serious" media use it as an adjective to describe a class of people. Imagine a news article in 2001 describing Republicans as "No New Taxes Republicans." It's that tired and stupid and cringe-inducing.

Gaslighting is actually a pretty shitty thing to do to someone, but to a woketard, it just means that they can't stand being disagreed with.

It goes all the way back to Happy Days, when people decided the show had turned to shit when the Fonz jumped over a shark on his motorcycle.

"Breh" is even worse.

I know I am late to this but that has been around since at least early 2000's internet culture. I'm pretty sure I remember a web 1.0 site devoted to it. <3

I haven't heard trannies or niggers use it myself so I am ok if newfags do. We were all newfags once. (and I still am.)


Nigger speak is like a virus, it seems to change almost daily. Once white kids/media have started using it it has already shat out a new strain.


That is pretty sus fr fr

Evidently a US thing then, never heard that shit in the UK. Though nigger speak seems just as common here as across the pond.

"Self deleting" is a big one.
"Corn" is another one. I'm tired of content moderation speak entering into the public discourse. I miss saying suicide, murder, rape, and porn.
I hate this non combative non-conflicting language bullshit.
Lastly the most important I know it's been said but the phrase "Our democracy" the phrase Our democracy is the biggest crock of shit. It isn't the democratic system working for you or some it's a bunch of retarded faggots who are trying to hide the curtain that has so desperately been lifted in front of the nos increasingly angry American public.

Yeah I hate any faggot that say "our democracy is at stake" because it's always some bullshit leftist drivel that means taking away natural freedoms and making people think that they're liberated by being slaves.
