"Current year" terms that piss you off

[DoomsdayElite]

Absolute cinema. I know it's just a variation of kino, and that makes me hate it even more.

I follow a lot of really gay artists on Twitter, and most of them speak in this annoying zoomer dialect, even when they’re much older than your typical zoomers.

“oomfs/oomfies”: Can someone please explain this shit to me? From what I understand, it’s a retarded way of saying “mutuals”, so why can’t they just say that instead of coming up with a substitute that sounds like a retarded five year old came up with it?

“X is the movie/game of all time”: The what movie/game of all time? Didn’t your teacher tell you about adjectives in school?!??

“He’s so baby”: I assume this is zoomerspeak for “He’s so cute”.

“Furbabies”, “Doggo”, “Pupper”: Anyone who says these should be monitored for potential animal abuse.

Perhaps the most damaging thing about this type of language is how contagious it is. As soon as my sister started communicating with these “people” she began talking and thinking just like them.

OOMF stands for One Of My Followers, and got popular on Twitter because of the character limit. Oomfie is just a pet name version, an Oomfie is your follower you are referring to sweetly.

I don't know when or why people replaced the term 'avatar' with 'pfp', but I hate it.

I think that one's because people use to stick to one image to represent them, but now they cycle through all kinds of images. It's not really an avatar of your personality if it gets changed all the time. When that happens, it's just a profile picture.

Also, who is sending their kid to Catholic school but would be offended by the sight of the word "Christmas?" Come the fuck onnnnnn.

That's a really egregious example because even Jews or whatever who send their kids to a Catholic school for academic reasons or there isn't a good Hebrew Academy or whatever nearby are probably on good terms with Christians and don't have a fit of the screming heebie-jeebies about the word "Christmas."

I can get it from a retail establishment that is catering to the general population.

So I am irritated both by retards who take offense to "Merry Christmas" or throw a raging tantrum about "Happy Holidays" like you just spit on their mom or something.

I don't know when or why people replaced the term 'avatar' with 'pfp', but I hate it.

A pfp isn't always an avatar, though. Sometimes it's just a picture you like. I mean my pfps are avatars even if I don't actually identify as an attack John Goodmancopter, but some random anime waifu really isn't.

Think how 4chan used to ban avatarfags who would always identify themselves by posting the same character, like that schizo who posted Nick Wilde every post.

“Restorative justice“

It is this kind of social justice term that’s destroying the court of American law and justice

this thing came from the movie morbius and how just average it was

Ah, that would explain it, because Morbius memes are some of the most autistic memes ever made.

You may want to keep a close eye from here on out, because if she says anything about "enbys" or trannoids being valid and shit, it's a sure sign that you should get away. Don't cut contact but keep yourself open if she were to change for the better.

She already does get mad at me whenever I make statements that can be construed as "transphobic". I remember only a few years ago she was normal and made jokes about "problematic" subjects like Chinamen and gays, but then she was groomed by faggots on Discord and stopped finding offensive jokes funny.

I don't know when or why people replaced the term 'avatar' with 'pfp', but I hate it.

In as much as I like "avatar" as a word, it makes sense that the more general "pfp" gets used even in places where "avatar" could be used instead - avatar specifically refers to a representation of a person whereas pfp refers to any image you choose to use for your profile.

OOMF stands for One Of My Followers, and got popular on Twitter because of the character limit. Oomfie is just a pet name version, an Oomfie is your follower you are referring to sweetly.

Correct. It's funny that apparently this term is now being used by homo-artists and the like given that my main exposure to "oomfie" is from usage by edgy anime pfps with names like "CunnyRapeHitler1488" in which the contrast between using moe language/images and telling trannies and niggers to kill themselves makes for a wonderfully amusing dichotomy imo.

Probably mentioned previously in the thread but the push to use fetish language for normal sexual interactions, in order to try and normalize the former, is terrible. No normal person should be using words like "top", "bottom", "dom", "sub", "mommy", "daddy", "kink", or the oh so odious "partner" when discussing their relationship.

This shit grinds my gears, the sudden flood of "X thing is good/bad, actually" posts, in that exact format.
it's condescending and dripping with bullshit to the point that you know it's a self serving like based on nothing but the writer's own ego and inability to allow themselves to think someone else may be right about something.

Spoiler: TF2 Sperging

This same shit happens in the nu-TF2 community and it boils my blood.

You have so-called TF2 fans saying stuff like "Quickplay was bad, actually" and "actually, Meet Your Match wasn't that bad"; it infuriates me to no end. Most of the retards citing these are tourists / newbies acting like they're oldfags despite having never experienced old TF2 or even the game itself at all, usually just repeating whatever their favorite slop TF2 influencer told them (now I understand why they use the term "influencer" to describe Internet figures today).

How do people like this exist? People that act like they engaged with X media, parroting whatever they're told by others? It cements my belief that niggercattle are indeed real and Terry Davis warned us of them. Now we're suffering the consequences for letting them take over our spaces with little to no pushback (aka gatekeeping, a lost art) and I couldn't be more angry / sad about it.

"The truth will out"

All sentences need a verb. What is this nonsense?

I've never heard this before but I imagine it means something like the "The truth will out you" perhaps, "out" being the verb.
Like "outing" someone is telling people that someone is a faggot before they announce it themselves.

It's an idiom. It means that no matter any efforts to prevent it, the truth will come out.

And this phrase is not new; it's at least 400 years old, having been in The Merchant of Venice. Launcelot is teasing his blind father, Gobbo, who doesn't believe Launcelot is actually his son. Launcelot says,

It is a wise father that knows his own child. Well, old man, I will tell you news of your son. Give me your blessing. Truth will come to light. Murder cannot be hid long—a man’s son may, but in the end truth will out.

It's a sort of a play on "murder will out," already an idiom at the time, going back to Chaucer.

"Murder will out" in The Canterbury Tales meant a murderer will always be discovered, and more idiomatically, that secrets eventually get revealed. That's why the MofV quote references murder, then takes it a step further/broader to "the truth will out."

 

[AnOminous]

It's come up before but anyone saying "lived experience." Fuck your lived experience. Your lived experience means shit to me.

 

[Chromeo]

oh so odious "partner" when discussing their relationship.

Maybe I'm just old, but I remember when gays were in the closet and partner was a preferred term for their same-sex...well, partner. It was considered polite, discreet, and since they couldn't get married you couldn't rightfully call someone a man's husband or a woman's wife.

 

[Breadquanda.]

"Brainrot" is overused to death, and I hate that it's become one word now.

I bring bad news. Current Year academia is so pathetic.

I don't know when or why people replaced the term 'avatar' with 'pfp', but I hate it.

I catch myself saying it, simply because of how common it is as a term on certain platforms, and I hate it and go out of my way to replace it.

My cousins went to Catholic school. I'll never forget the time their school sent them home with a flyer about everyone bringing decorations for the school's "holiday tree." It made my brain hurt. What's the point of substituting "Christmas" for "holiday" when it's not even slightly ambiguous you're talking about Christmas? How many December holidays have a tradition of decorating trees? Also, who is sending their kid to Catholic school but would be offended by the sight of the word "Christmas?" Come the fuck onnnnnn.

'Holiday tree' is so generic that it sounds like something from The Sims.

This reminds that in lots of places in Canada the Catholic school boards keep having to reject flying the pride flag every June, and certain uppity parents always argue about it for hours. At some point several municipalities retaliated in an extraordinarily petty way and painted some of those rainbow crosswalks right outside of the schools or school board building. It seems like an odd choice to send your children to an explicitly religious school and then get mad about things like that, but who knows? I'm not Catholic.

This shit grinds my gears, the sudden flood of "X thing is good/bad, actually" posts, in that exact format.

It's such purposeful contrarianism most of the time, but looking at that person's avatar, it does not surprise me that they attempt to build a brand through hackneyed methods like 'ragebait' and other such nonsense.

She already does get mad at me whenever I make statements that can be construed as "transphobic". I remember only a few years ago she was normal and made jokes about "problematic" subjects like Chinamen and gays, but then she was groomed by faggots on Discord and stopped finding offensive jokes funny.

Good god, I recently had a friend delete our 6 year old Discord server our friend group used, after migrating from Skype, that we hadn't used for several years, all because of a small number of 'offensive memes' and she just 'really didn't want to read things like that' because it made her 'feel bad'. She seems to think nothing of it, and half-heartedly apologised, but to me it seems to represent this godawful prioritisation of meaningless identity politics babble above actual friendships and history. 2020 and George Floyd ruined a lot of people's brains. It is impossible to escape these retarded politics now.

"gender journey"

This reminds me of that one famous 'Fuzzz99' (retarded TikTok pooner) video thumbnail or screenshot shared around a lot a few years ago: 'Guess who's had another gender adventure!!', or something. God, I hate that woman. I'm very surprised she has no thread here.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

"Coded"
No, Your husbando is not gay, and he sure as fuck isn't queer "coded". Find another term that doesn't sound like a Kingdom Hearts subtitle to say "implied", faggot.

I know "queer coded" is a hot topic these days but I seem to remember it dates back to the 2000s, like in High School Musical (the first one, anyway) where one guy is clearly written to be gay but standards and practices wouldn't allow it at the time (or at least that's how I first came across the term, I'm not sure). It really shouldn't exist nowadays since LGBTQ+ characters are allowed in children's programming, and it sure as fuck doesn't apply to anything IRL.

“Boy mom”

 

[(((I am NOT a jew)))]

Some of the doom-pilled speak revolving around the gender wars/incel dialogue.
Wizard is funny but saying some dude with mild autism is a "genetic dead end" or talking about women "hitting the wall" at 35 just makes me think you're a defeatist cunt.

I got a passive-aggressive terse "by the way" side correction a couple of weeks ago from one particularly officious party-planning group chair telling me that we do not have "holiday parties"; they must be "end of the year parties."

Haven't seen that, thank God. But I hate "moots."

women "hitting the wall" at 35

Pretty sure that's been rolled back to 30 25 now.

"Respecting someone's pronouns", even here it's unironically used sometimes, ugh.
