"Current year" terms that piss you off

[ClownBrew]

It's an attempt by effete white liberals to either sound folksy or imitate ebonics. It ends up being condescending any way you slice it.

Speaking of which, "folks" is another one of their tried and true favs.

How did they get to America, though?

I think the main idea behind that is that people who lived like eskimos, seal hunting and such, could potentially slowly cross the atlantic along the ice age ice shelf and wind up in North America. Even if that did happen the amount of people who came to America over the Bering land-bridge would be proportionally far greater during a similar time period.

"Brown" people sounds so ironically racist to me.

"pic tax"
The whole point of those threads is to share and discuss images. You shouldn't feel like every image has to have a picture attached just for the sake of having a picture.

For me, it's any variation of 'cloud' or 'in the cloud' in a computer related context. The way soyboys and technology companies talk about it, you'd think it's some sort of magical alternative universe where the normal laws of physics don't apply, and not just someone else's computer that they had the good grace to give you access to. It's especially grating when it's used as a way to sound trendy or progressive, as if giving up the last bit of control or privacy over your sensitive data is anything to be proud of.

I was playing ffxiv earlier and some guy died and apologized blaming it on "watching stonks" and it really made it click that I really just hate all online culture. Whether it is talking about your heckin' awesome pupperinos or telling someone to cope or seethe. It's all just awful and I love talking to people off the computer where we act like actual human beings.

Exactly. "Other people's servers" doesn't have quite the same ring though.

Also the variants they were trying to push for a bit but never took off because they were even more retarded.

CAMAB/CAFAB

The C stood for "Coercively".

There was a time where the term "cancel culture" is actually relevant especially when ProJared pretty much lost a significant portion of his audience due to the pedophile allegations which were later turned out to be false.

Nowadays the term for me is cringe because the term is now used by either screeching fans whenever their idol is being criticised ("Wow you criticise that furfag for fucking a dog????? Cancel culture cancel culture!!!!!!") or smug retards who use that term as a gotcha for whenever their opposing side cancels someone else ("Wow you dislike cancel culture but you 'cancel' someone you don't like??????")

I want to return to the days where we can communicate with simple English language with points rather than fucking retarded buzzwords with no points at all being brought up.

Big corporations that refer to their employees, especially those in diminutive wagie positions, as a "team". Bright, shiny language doesn't make their jobs any less shit.

It doesn't help when the "team" in question is full of employees and supervisors that have no interest in being functional, contributing team players. I was briefly part of such a team and it was a relief and not a disappointment when I learned I'd be pulled from that job assignment after just 3 months and moved to a different client and project that didn't have any of the predecessor's dysfunctional BS.

Whenever they refer to "bodies" - e.g. "black bodies", "trans bodies", etc.

I always find this dehumanizing because it reduces people to nothing more than a body that lacks any sort of uniqueness or individual traits.

"Person" and "persons", "person" as in "mailperson", "salesperson" and similar forms,

This was pushed hard in the early 90s and the era of political correctness with the reason being that women could also deliver mail or work in sales which would make the -man suffix inappropriate for them. I always thought to myself, "Why can't we just use -man or -woman as appropriate and -person for the generic/unknown case?"

or even worse, as a replacement for a gender specific term. eg.: barmaid changed into barperson. i'd rather be called wench.

There is a certain something to hear "Hey beer wench!"

People using the "they/them" pronouns a lot these days irritates me.

As grating as it is for a person to insist on plural pronouns for their individual self, I find the whole ze/zir/xem/etc. list of pronouns more annoying because they simply don't look like words that have any sort of real meaning.

The latest current-year term that pisses me off is "implicit bias." To imply that all white people are automatically and inherently biased against non-whites comes across as a biased statement in and of itself.

I have no idea why or how but referring to your dick as 'pp' has somehow come into vogue. You know who used to refer to it as 'pp'? Fucking second graders. Jesus Christ.

”Fair beer wench, couldst thou refill mine tankard of Stella?”

I agree, it sounds different.

It just reminds me of the royal we.

The terms "institutional" and "structural" just translate to "I want to keep being a victim and take no accountability!"

 

[Nobue]

It's not so much the terms themselves (as retarded as they are) but the vapidity and repetition. I hate repetition. I despise people who can't form a thought of their own and just regurgitate whatever they hear.

There's a reason propaganda uses so many slogans-- the normies remember it, and spout it everywhere. Some want easy solutions to complex problems, some want to virtue signal and act smarter than you, and most have to fit in like a bunch of human chimps.

I've always hated the phrase "*Insert group here*'s safety/lives over "insert group here*'s feelings" since it's used to shut down or deflect any dissenting opinion or criticism of their own beliefs because they know their own beliefs don't hold water.

 

[vaporubber]

“*Laughs in <relevant noun here>*”

I’m not sure where this got started - I think in a parody meme of some subtitled VH1 confessional - but anyone who uses it instantly sounds like a retard. Boorish Twitter types love using it as a smug flex or one-up and I just hate it.
