"Current year" terms that piss you off

I find "biracial/multiracial" (ANOTHER term I never heard in the 2000s and got shoehorned everywhere in the mid-2010s) way more racist than just saying "mixed". Especially when almost all self-proclaimed "biracials/multiracials" are niggermutts and/or "something-americans"
I prefer mixed race, but even then, from a personal point of view, and this is from my family history, but I thought my Grandad Brian, my dad's dad, who was born around 1943, might have been mixed race somewhere down the line, because, long story short, HIS dad might not have been his dad. This thought wavers every now and again, as there were no African results on 23-and-me, but I never thought he was half "Black", anyway (for years, on this side of the pond, the common term was half-caste, presuming you are American or Canadian, me ol' mucker, heh-heh). The only background that came back was English, Welsh, Irish, and Eastern European... which, in case of the last one is a very broad term.

However, though, getting to my point, I looked up 'Illegitimate births during World War 2', and I kept getting, mostly, results for 'Britain's Brown Babies.'

It irritated me quite a bit, because I was like, fine, maybe somewhere along the line, I'm not strictly full-bore "White", but I'm pretty sure I don't have a Haitian Great-Grandpa from New Orleans etc.

My Great-Grandad could be owt from an Armenian Canadian, to a Yugoslavian (Croat/Serbian/Montenegran), to a Czechoslovakian, to an Australian Aboriginal, to a Tarara (a Victorian era people that still hang proudly onto their Croatian-Maori heritage), to a Crow (AKA. Apsaalooke. Medicine Joe Crow, who defeated a Nazi soldier, merely by disarming him, was one of 'em) Amerindian, to a Hindustani Afrikaaner, to a Hong Kongese/Shanghainese Scouser (Liverpudlian) etc./either or, but I doubt he's/he was "Black".

The Tarara thing? I already brought up on this thread:

What are Historical facts that humanize the past to you? - I think about Ancient food recipes a lot​


Another tidbit, I'm gonna add, and, I know I mentioned him on a thread awhile back, but if anyone's interested in the feats of Medicine Joe, here's an article about him: https://www.smh.com.au/national/joe...of-bravery-against-nazis-20160410-go2ry0.html

...Alright, now I'm done with this sperg pit of a comment.

Someone might have brought this up already, and I know I did in the thread about the millenial/zoomer hate reddit shitshow thing but the sudden change from people saying shit like "soyspeak" or "corpospeak" to shit like "millenial writing" the last few months has not felt natural and bugged the fuck out of me. It's like the new safe edgy term that's just a reskin of the same boomerisms about millenials but reversing it acting like joeshmoe born in the 90s or early 2000s is somehow now the same kind of fucker as the out of touch corpos that have lorded over us and destroyed or outsourced every fucking job opportunity for those not in specific circles or quota checklists or the millenial or gen Z nepo hires that parrot the same talking points as the ones that came before them because it gets them higher in the chain faster.

Also hate how increasingly I'm noticing people slide into politics brainrot where they have to constantly occasionally signal shit even if it makes no sense. Yes this has been an issue the last 8 fucking years but it's getting worse because people seem to be unable to see anything as nothing but left/right politics team struggles. Miserable people but oh no we need to say how we support "queer joy!!!" or some shit lmao. Seriously anyone that says "[TICKBOX TERM HERE] joy" is almost always the LEAST joyful person in the room and will throw a fit over any minor disagreements. I've dealt on and off with these types for fucking nearly a decade now I don't like how predictable it is even with the autismo thinkpan thing.


Instagram ad comment sections are chock full of zoomers saying 'nice try diddy' or 'nice try super diddy' en masse, and while little should be expected from the site in general, it's baffling how something becoming so unfunny can regurgitate itself to no end.

First post and it's Diddy mention. I get the idea becase people have been making jokes about Diddy's pedophillia for years but now thatit's "safe" to talk about it you got this kind of stuff becoming forced rather than natural.

sanewashing

Seems to mean attempted brainwashing, with an implication that "woke" is sanity and non-"woke" is insane.

It's similar to "radicalization" meaning leaving "woke" and "deradicalization" meaning going full-on SJW.
I fucking said it before in this thread I think but didn't bring these bits up specifically in detail. I DID bring up the thing about how the things that become "woke" isn't actually woke in the actual slang definition that's been sarcastically used and then co-opted by people that didn't get the sarcasm into the safe way of saying sjw till it became not that. "Based" and "woke" and "red pilled" used to all mean almost the same thing with slightly different contexts and I still occasionally see people use woke the correct way from before the eternal 2020s part of the eternal 2016.
Fucking hate how everything has just devolved into increasingly fake politics team bullshit where 'growth" just means swapping to the other side and regretting everything you ever did in life because "it was a different time!"
 
For those of us who are at least 40 or older. Is this akin to I don't know, growing up with WAZZZZUUUP budweiser commercials or dude your getting a dell, any catch phrases from Wayne's World? If anything I think a lot of current year terms and phrases are absolutely retarded. Shit that isn't even words per se getting driven into the ground and are all over comment sections.

Wayne's World
For me personally, it was another 1990s Mike Myers movie that got quoted to hell and wore out its welcome: Austin Powers. In the late '90s, there was a period when it was impossible to avoid hearing someone say, "Yeah baby!" or "Oh behave!" in casual conversation. On the local radio station that I listened to, they would use Austin Powers sound bytes during radio bumpers. Again, it was mildly funny for a minute or two when I was 13, but it got old real fast.
 
for years, on this side of the pond, the common term was half-caste
My parents and grandparents still say this, and I used to as a kid, since it was still the normal term for it, really.

I hope they never get 'called out' by some boisterous sheboon 'academic' wearing a Black Girl Magic necklace.
 
Blexicans look far better than the average half-White half-Black person.
Agreed. Just looked up some pictures, and they sort of remind me of Afro-Cubans or Puerto Ricans.

@Breadquanda. Same. My dad still says it. Where are you from, anyway? 'Cos I don't have any knowledge of, let's narrow it down, North Americans, for example, saying half-caste.

It always feels like the less common a mixed race racial pairing is, the more stable their household is and as a result, the more mentally stable the children are (compare BMWF children to WMBF children or even MMBF children.)
That makes sense, what you're saying. Maybe the "instability" is partly to do with peoples' perceptions of society, or something or other. Or people, through word of mouth, will hear about some tough times people of their ethnic background, or culture, which probably will include a parent, or great-great-grandparent (for example), also telling them about it, and vice versa, and they'll perceive that they might be picked on or victimised in a similar fashion, and risk having a narrow-minded world view, where they'll presume a majority of "that ethnicity, race, blah-blah-blah", are automatically gonna be dickheads to them.
 
The term “genocide” and “war crime” being used for absolutely anything and everything involving people fighting in a conflict. The words have seriously lost their meaning. I saw one the other day that was just a meme on insta that had something to do with “your grandad with a flamethrower in Okinawa” and the most upvoted comment with at least a thousand more than all the other was was “of course Americans brag about war crimes”. Also see fixating on Gaza with zero understanding of anything about the conflict or history in the region when there is actual genocide and war crimes happening in Sudan. But that isn’t trendy since all of their news comes from TikTok.
 
culture

In Clown World, the term "culture" in an "identity politics" sense seems to be a pigeonholed and rigidly defined label for a set of ways and traditions, and a SJW fixation.
Why are SJWs so fixated on "culture" anyway?
The problem isn't so much their fixation on "culture" but their fixation on "narratives".
The "woke" still fixate on the word "culture" a lot though. Like "cultural narrative" this, "dominant culture" that, "cultural appropriation" this, "dating culture" that...
Because they see themselves as temporarily-embarassed genius rulers who deserve to inherit the earth for being the Smartest People to Ever Live™️.
They have a saying "politics is downstream from culture".
Also the SJW fixation on "culture" is very cult-like.

Fart walk. I've seen so many articles about how taking a fart walk is good for your health. You mean your standard after dinner walk to help stimulate your digestion? Why do they need to rename it something stupid?
Wait what? Is this an actual thing?

Why does the news have to take normal things and make them nauseating? I think they're trying to make millennials even stupider than they already are when they open the front page of apple news. Melting their brains with radioactive levels of retardation until you hear it come out in every day conversation.

I went to classes with people 3-4 years younger than me. Their conversations were barely english. Yes, they said shit like "lore" and used memes and internet drama as substitutes for opinions.
It makes me feel like an alien outside of my own species. Maybe when my peer group has aged another decade we can try again.

Perhaps I am a rotten old man inside. Can't say the world didn't test me first, though.
 
  • “Holding space for X”’ anyone that says this is likely insufferable to be around.
  • “In my X era” it’s an annoying phrase that has been endlessly used by Swifties
  • “It’s giving X” cringe zoomerspeak
  • “Joy” mainly due to the ubiquitous and incessant marketing campaign that was the Kamala Harris election bid
  • “Brat” see above
  • “Late stage capitalism” most people that use this likely haven’t even read Marx and understand what it’s referring to, and generally gets misused (especially in cases of where corporations work with governments to maintain monopolies, which isn’t really capitalism at that point because it’s the federal government working with corporations to artificially maintain power)

The Hawk Tuah Girl keeps popping up everywhere on YouTube. Haven't the foggiest what it is, but I'm subscribed to orangepeanut, and he complained about her, and some other bloke brought up that she was involved in a scam, but I haven't cared enough to read into it properly.

It was August The Duck I was trying to remember.
