"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Lapis Lazuli]

"New normal"

Getting tired of NPC's always saying "Wear the mask!".

Especially when they're the same people who bitch about "Karens" that get upset over the smallest of things.

 

[Meat Target]

"Hold accountable". I used to be okay with this phrase, because it's good for helping friends and family grow in virtue. Now it means subjecting wrongthink suspects to struggle sessions and Kafkatraps.

 

[Professional Lurker]

This may seem like something obvious to get irritated by, but since people think it's cool to come up with 100 different genders for themselves, you've got shit like catgender, noirgender, snailgender, and their respective pronouns. Now I don't know about the last 2, but "catgender" is unironic, and 16 yro twitter users now demand you call them "nya/nyas" or some shit. It makes me wanna throw out my computer and live on a farm with no wifi.

 

[UntimelyDhelmise]

"Open/close minded" is really up there for me. If there's one way to make yourself sound like a condescending, pretentious prick, it's using that term. People with the stupidest ideas and opinions constantly veil them with that kind of talk to make it seem like any challenge to their worldviews and ideologies only come from retards who are too braindead to know any better compared to their supposed infallible enlightened intellect.

“TW// food”

What a ducking fragile sack of shit to have a mental break down because of images of food. Twitter has made this the norm, and I and Leafy can’t be the only ones tired of Twitter’s shit.

 

[FluffyTehFennekin]

Anyone familiar with the waifu community would know this term: “Kidfu”, It’s another layer to waifu autism. Basically it’s like having a child, but it’s a fictional character. It’s just weird!

 

[Just Here for A and H]

"Chemical weapons" used to describe tear gas or, after yesterday, mace.

Maybe I'm just used to crazies on the internet, but I'm actually relieved knowing that's "all" it means.

I've seen people either on twitter or Instagram write "sweety" as "sweaty" and it irks me on multiple levels.

I'm pretty sure this is just done ironically to make fun of people who condescendingly call people sweetie, hon, boo, etc during arguments, if that helps alleviate the annoyance at all.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

“a vote for __________ is a vote for white supremacy”

It’s always said by people who look and dress like this:

 

[Turd Cow]

"Pandemic" I can't handle that term. Worse when people 1918 and COVID in the same sentence

 

[FuckedUp]

"Pandemic" I can't handle that term. Worse when people 1918 and COVID in the same sentence

Back in June, one of my mom's coworkers apparently said "it's like 2020 is a repeat of 1918 and 1968".

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

These times really aren't that unprecedented. Stop saying that.

 

[FuckedUp]

These times really aren't that unprecedented. Stop saying that.

I mean they are, not in terms of the virus but how stupid fucktards fucked up the entire fucking world beyond recognition.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I've mentioned that while face masks are bad enough, it looks gross when people only cover their mouths and let their noses hang out. Now it seems almost every other person does that.

It looks disgusting.

If they're doing it because they're sick of masks, it's one thing. But if they think they're still protected from the DEADLY UNKNOWN GRANDMA KILLING SUPERPLAGUE, it's to be expected of Clown World - it doesn't dispel the "Americans are stupid" stereotype.

 

[Windows XP Home Edition]

"iT'S tHe NeW nOrMaL" I loathe this term, it's so overused and untrue considering that people are getting sick of the current situation and are breaking the rules. These COVID restirctions might not even be in place later this year or next year.

Latinx, and the people who tries to force it down my Mexican throat

Latinx, and the people who tries to force it down my Mexican throat

I have a professor that recently used “latinx” in one of the things I read for class. It made me a bit MOTI because it makes no sense to people that speak Spanish or Portuguese. If you’re going to use a word Spanish or Portuguese speakers would actually be able to pronounce, at least use an ending that makes sense, such as -a, -o or -e. Additionally, the only people I see that use latinx are those that don’t even speak Spanish or Portuguese. It’s almost always an English speaker attempting to sound inclusive while disregarding language rules other languages have. Finally, this trans/non-binary crap needs to end, and words like latinx only feed into the trans/non-binary delusions.

Trying to say ''Latinx'' terms such as amigxs, trabajadorxs, and unx makes it sound like a mutilated version of Portuguese.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

Trying to say ''Latinx'' terms such as amigxs, trabajadorxs, and unx makes it sound like a mutilated version of European Portuguese.

That's why people say "Latinx"? Poke-spergs had this figured out over a decade ago: Lati@s

It really doesn't make sense. That doesn't stop academicals and other assorted professionals down here from using it.
Hell, last I heard, there were talks to redact the new Chilean Constitution in "neutral language", should the new Constitutional Assembly in Chile be approved. Can you imagine the backbone of a country's general principles full of X's where gender endings are supposed to be?
The worst thing is, since this has the backing of academia and some corps here and there, it is increasing in awareness and acceptance.

Neopronouns confuse me.

If it's not that ridiculous, there's been instances where I'd just sighed and went along with it to make them happy, but either changing it too much or just listing nouns as pronouns is where I draw the line. Seriously, how am I supposed to insert pup/frog/faer into every other sentence without sounding retarded? I get it's for your autism but consider that most people outside Twitter, god forbid a professional setting, would laugh you out the place.

Edit: I realized that this was already talked about just now lol. Sorry about the repetitiveness
