I hate the word incel, but why the fuck would you tell your date all of your dating disasters? Thats like Red Flag #1.

Because: he wasn't really a date. It was just a chat. Nothing will likely come of it, and that's fine; I'm not really up for dating anyone right now, and this is me kind of scaring off opportunists in bars that think they're so charming they can convince me to go from the bar to their bed.

Besides, it's good to know if someone will jump to a buzzword incorrectly. Even if that person isn't someone to be romantically involved with, it's very good to know quickly how much they think for themselves.
 
I may sound like some panelist on Fox News from fifteen years ago here, but I hate hearing "Happy Holidays/It's the holiday season!" everywhere in everything. I'm not a particularly festive person or anything, but when I hear those terms it just sounds like safe corporate speak to me and it turns me into a Santa supremacist, a Christmas chauvinist, a Rudolph respecter, etc.

Really? Holy shit. No matter how much they try to rephrase it, they'll always be called homeless people or bums by most regular people.

Especially if it's like, an image where the people are decked out in Santa outfits with a Christmas tree in the background. Reminds me of that bit from way back in the Jeff Dunham days poking fun at it where Achmed wore his "holiday hat" for the Christmas standup.

We need to continue ignoring the attempts of these goddamn fucking retards to tell us how to describe things we can see with our own goddamn eyes.

That is a homeless person.

That is a goddamn bum.

I honestly dont know if I have commented this here before but it still really annoys me every fucking day and I want to vent.
I hate the word 'unironically' now. Just omit it. Example: "I unironically enjoyed that." ---> "I enjoyed that." So much more confidence in the second sentence and it is straight to the point.

Using 'unironically' feels like someone is embarrassed or ashamed of the thing they like or dislike and want to signal that they are enjoying the thing genuinely although many people pretend to enjoy the same thing for a weird social clout. Using 'unironically' sounds like they want approval from their peers for having an actual interest, but only can enjoy their interest if their peers approve and are aware of the potential uncoolness, like a trigger warning or something. "I unironically love decorating for Christmas (its a genuine love and I am definitiely not one of those cringey pinterest girls who waste thousands of dollars on plastic santas so it looks like I have a personality, please accept me I am desperate to have my interests accepted by you but I acknowledge that this interest of mine might seem like I am lower on the social ladder or be annoying to you but please please please still love me please? I swear I have a real personality aside from my unironic enjoyment of Christmas decor)"

Similar to 'guilty pleasure'. This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. Always hated that phrase. It either is a pleasure or it isn't.
