'Delta'. Just say 'difference' or 'change' you pretentious faggot. People in mathematics and the hard sciences have been using the symbol as shorthand for 'difference' for ages because it takes up less space on the page. That doesn't apply to speech. I roll my eyes so hard internally every time I hear some room temp IQ MBA say 'our deltas look good' while trying way to hard to put on this pensive yet confident expression.

"Queer". At this point it seems less like reappropriating a slur and more just all but admitting it is an accurate slur. You're not unique, you're not special, you are a socially inept retarded freak with a victim complex because you've got plenty of self-absorption and little self-reflection. You're less interested in meeting people and basically expect people to meet you.

"Partner." Apparently some non-hetero couples can't just say "spouse", they have to pretend they're JUST LIKE THE STRAIGHTS while also being unique and different and special. Fucking brainless nonsense.

I have the complete opposite gripe. It's always been the gays who've used "partner" which I accepted. Now it's every fucking (straight) faggot who for some reason is using it for the girl/boyfriends and spouses.

In my personal life I haven't even noticed it being done out of some sense of solidarity with the LGBTQ tribe or for political correctness reasons or anything. Suddenly it's just like "I guess my new software update says that my husband is my 'partner' now. I love my partner!"

"Bro," but specifically when used as an adjective
"Tech bros"
"Finance bros"
" Feet bros"

No, you know what that used to be? Fags. Tech fags, footfags, etc. The derogatory nature of the term still carried a level of shame with it. It might have been fag in an endearing way, but you were still a fag. Now instead we have feet creeps unashamed of who they are, and souless bug people techies celebrating their retardation.

In all 3 examples provided, you've used bro as a noun. When is it ever used as an adjective?

The only time I've heard "delta" to mean "change" is "delta V", a rocket science term for how much change in velocity a rocket can do before running out of propellant. Using "delta" to mean "change" outside of a math or science context sounds so awkward. Also somehow really soy, like how SJWs always use academic-sounding words to push "woke" BS.

"Ways of knowing"
as in "Indigenous ways of knowing." It is like knowledge, but different somehow.

The only way something like that should be investigated is in the service of finding resources and how to properly educate these savages in the ways of modern civilization.

It’s beyond retarded for its own sake

How did the term "influencer" emerge? Never heard that term before 2020 or so.
Click to expand...
I think it originated from Instagram. Some companies would pay good money for high follower Instagram whores to post pictures of their products to "influence" potential customers into buying them. One of the biggest offenders of this shit was the "van life" assholes that LARPed living in a van and would show off their highly expensive brand name items. Spoiled rich silver spoon zoomers shilling expensive toys pretending to live life on the road like bums basically. Matt Foley never realized he had it so good.

But then the term "influencer" spread to other shit like Twitter and YouTube because "influencer" sounds more exotic and important than "Youtuber" or "E-Whore". It's a bastardized term that was already bastardized to begin with. Basically anyone who calls themselves or aspires to be an influencer is just a textbook narcissist douchebag.

Crashing out. It means meltdown.

Like @Anonymous said, "crashing out" sounds like collapsing or zonking out, not going nuts. More "Zoomer" slang from "social media"...

The term "influencer" sounds cyberpunk dystopia. The "unthinking majority" can be influenced by "influencers" on "social media" who seek to be "internet famous" while at it.

I miss when being famous on the internets was normally seen as a joke. Back when the internet was a novelty.

Yes, what Millennials and Gen X would call a freak out and Boomers would have called snapping.

People on YouTube use it. It's cringey as fuck.

Anyone ever hear about the Chornobyl crash out?

I remember the first time I heard "crash out" I knew it was going to be the new zoomer slang of the week. What surprised me is even the older youtubers started saying it as well. I heard Keemstar and Boogie use the phrase over in Boogie's thread and if I was a zoomer hearing Keem's "yoo wassup fellow kid homiez" ass using my slang it would immediately became lame and I'd stop using it.

Good news: Zoomers have short attention spans so "crash out" is probably going to die out soon anyway. That's why memes sucked for the last decade, nothing they come up with has any staying power, and slang isn't really any different.
Bad news: The zoomers are just going to replace "crash out" with something even more faggy sounding.

Lefties can't meme and Zoomers can't meme. That's why the internet is still using memes Millennials and younger Gen X came up with over a decade ago.
