"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Mouse Cop]

"Low-key." I keep hearing this. "The concert was low-key awesome." "This food is low-key delicious." I don't even know what it's supposed to mean. It seems like it's just a filler word to make you sound more niggerish. Maybe someone can show me something that's "high-key" so I can learn the difference.

"Low-key."

I think it's supposed to mean "subtly" or "somewhat" or "a little" in "Zoomer" speak.

I bitched about it in this thread some time ago: "Low key/lowkey" isn't even zoomer speak, it's just been tarded up by using it as a filler where it needn't apply. It used to be used in ways to describe someone as being kind of unassuming, or even a place that was private or otherwise out of the way.

It's been bastardized to be somewhat synonymous with implying something is a guilty pleasure, like if some big burly metalhead guy was admitting to really liking Ariana Grande's music or something. It would make sense in that context, except that's not usually how it's being used now. Instead it's that's teenage girl on Tiktok with the username AriFan2009 who is precisely the demographic to like that thing who goes "I actually lowkey love Ariana, she slaps so hard tbh."

"Social experiment" is basically "let me be an ass and see how people react to me."

 

[Laburnum]

Using 'POV' before then going on to show something that isn't from the supposed point of view it's meant to be showing.

I've seen this more and more, especially in online marketing. You can't even argue that it's being used as slang, it's just genuine retardation. I wouldn't be surprised if the people doing it don't know that POV is an acronym.

I'll jump on the "This user is going to be called an incel" grenade here and note that more often than not, the misuse of POV in a meme format is just used by women who want to show themselves off. It's a similar principle to the one represented in the meme where a woman takes a picture to show off something like their new car, except they'll take a selfie, obfuscating the car while making sure their face takes up half of the picture. It's less about showing off the new Kia Forte, it's about showing off Katie.

"Social experiment" is basically "let me be an ass and see how people react to me."

"Social experiment" is an after the fact excuse, like "I was only pretending to be retarded." I remember the first time I saw "social experiment" as an excuse for completely tarding it up, it was in a forum in 1987 and the people who mockingly responded to it thought it was ancient even then.

 

[barrow greeter]

"boy mom" "girl dad"

Pretty sure we used to call them "prank channels".

 

[Cloudby Skytoucher]

I've noticed TikTok CCP and advertiser-friendly terms like "unalive" making their way into other social media platforms and occasionally real life, which pisses me off so damn much it's unreal.

 

[Aunt Carol]

"Thank you for everything you do."

This started before COVID, like everyone in middle management everywhere got the same memo, but boy did the pandemic make it ubiquitous.

It comes across as "keep doing whatever it is you do, peon." The literal least you could do.

 

[OutlineCuck]

DARVO,
dark triad,
all other psychology terms used by drama youtubers in order to seem high browed

 

[Shart Attack]

"Sovl" and any other word rightoids have butchered by replacing a "u" with "v." It was never funny, and it's so gay that no word in the English language can possibly do justice to just how gay it is.

 

[Town Drunk]

Every youtube video called "We need to talk about X" No, we don't NEED to talk about this. We can talk about any number of unimportant things all day but, "We need to talk" carries weight. When your wife, or boss says "we need to talk about X" it's because it is something serious. "we need to talk about Kim's grades". Or "we need to talk about your job performance"

Stop trying to hijack peoples brains into serious mode about some pointless discussion on the latest movie/game trailer, film analysis, review of a product, etc.

Femboy

Back in my day we called feminine guys; queers, poofs or faggots.

I hate that shit. Whenever I see it I either just instantly ignore whoever is saying it or hurl some slur at them and talk about something else instead.

Starting to develop a disgust for "yall".

I heavily associate this term with US black women, and retarded TikTokers.

Somebody says they hate the word y'all every fucking month, please say something original for once.

"Comfort food". Often used by middle-upper and upper class twats to describe foods they like instead of just saying favorite food or tasty foods in general.

I can't really describe it, but the phrase gave me a feel of smugness or snobbishness. It also beg some questions. How about other foods other than your comfort foods? Don't you enjoy eating them? Do eating them make you not comfortable? Do you eat to seek comfort instead of fulfilling your nutrient needs, to live? Also, if a certain food make you comfortable, then why not having it everyday? Or better yet, eat it 3 times a day?

Comfort food is usually food you'd remember your mom or grandma making. Kinda simple dishes, not much nutrition, but made with love. Examples are meatloaf, casseroles, Mac N cheese, etc.

It's retarded Tiktokers trying to act black, not realizing that the poor white people they hate use that word (and a lot of the lingo they exploit).

 

[BerserkKing99]

"This user is going to be called an incel"

the modern day term for "incel". the meaning of incel is supposed to mean a man that cries about not getting laid and making their entire personality revolve around wanting sex with women. now it just "means" someone with different opinions than that person or someone with any form of right leaning political views???
