"Current year" terms that piss you off

[ToroidalBoat]

"Hearts not Parts"

Reminds me of "Love is for Souls, not Bodies", said by a lolcow here on KF. To me this "hearts not parts" is like a puritanical view that sees "the flesh as evil". And of course it could also help one to maintain any delusion about their identity.

"Chile"

No, not the country. Apparently it's used as a replacement for "wtf". So... why not just use wtf like everyone else?

 

[Loona]

People using "Level (number)" when referring to their age is incredibly cringeworthy.

 

[mr.moon1488]

Bipoc because for some reason my mind automatically translates it into "boy pussy."

 

[TitanWest]

Anyone who unironically says "Yikes" or "Oofh" is a passive aggressive worm who needs to fuck off back to Reddit.

Love is for marrying and producing children so that you can live eternally as one flesh.
Reducing love to a flutter in your chest is as bad as reducing it to a tightness in your pants.

"identify"
As in "I identify as...."
It fucking gets my goat, especially when someone says how someone else should be referred to.
I once had a house mate who was quite fond of man on man action, and when I referred to him as gay, some fag tried to tell me that "I don't think he'd tidentify as gay '. If it walks like a sodomite, and talks like a sodomite, it's fucking gay.

As a rule, if you "identify as" something, you're not really that thing. Otherwise you'd just be it rather than "identify as" it.

 

[Meat Target]

"Inclusivity" or "inclusive". The only things that excluded any given protected class are their own incompetence, lack of drive, and crab bucket mentality.

 

[Testament]

Sus. At first I didn't even understand it and thought suddenly YTPs were relevant again. No its just some stupid Among Us/Twitter thing.

Among Us is astroturf

Bipoc because for some reason my mind automatically translates it into "boy pussy."

I still parse "Bipoc" as "Bipolar Community."

It may have been mentioned before, but "new normal" used to suggest that COVID-related restrictions such as masks and social distancing may never go away if certain officials have their way and everyone should accept it without question and without expressing any sort of dislike/dissent about it.

 

[PaleTay]

Transnational Advocacy Network, I'm assuming it means social justice advocacy.

The terms "trans" and "cis" are becoming increasing ear grating the more I see it published or spoken.

Cis sounds like a slur with extreme prejudice.

#somethingoverparty.

I know the hashtag isn't literally about someone having a party because someone is "over" but the term just fills me with rage. People are celebrating over someone being CaNcElLeD, because they made a racist joke tweet 2 years ago. If your a content creator and made a even slightly offensive joke, its pretty much over on the internet. Cancelling or #somethingisoverparty could actually be useful in silencing people who are actually mentally ill or unstable that should not be on the internet, such as Carpet Samples or DollyFlesh. It's a shame people use these tools for silencing people who disagree with them.

I just hate it because it sounds fucking stupid and if you ever click on the hashtag it's just teenaged girls (who should be legally denied internet access) spamming Kpop gifs.

The term and act of cancel culture. CANCELLED.

There are plenty of people that deserve to get called out and "cancelled." Not for making an off color statement or social media post. Especially over something that happened years ago.

The first and only time someone asked me, "What's your cisgender?" I had no idea WTF they were talking about. I had to look it up just to know how to answer it properly.

I believe I've seen various cows on the site use "cis" and its variants as a slur ("cissies" for example), so I agree with you on that point.

The term and act of cancel culture. CANCELLED.

Cancel culture deserves to be cancelled, especially when the reason for the cancel request later proves to be false/lies.

 

[Professional Lurker]

So apparently I was wrong about my post about what "kins" and "kinning" meant despite the way kids use those words. It's not used as a replacement for "stan" or "fan", it's when you're so fucking delusional that you almost genuinely believe you're a certain fictional character, roleplaying them and acting like them, both on and offline.

If anything that's even WORSE.

"Plant Based"

Because it isn't annoying enough to announce that you're a vegan every 5 minutes anymore.

Now you're plant based.
