"Current year" terms that piss you off

"Assigned [gender] at birth" - as if sex isn't inherent - and "gender" instead of sex.

(Of course woke cultists could point to questionable research to argue otherwise.)

Hopefully not a repeat for me, but "cisgender" goes hand in hand with this. I was once asked "What's your cisgender" and had no idea what that even meant until I looked it up to know how to respond. What was funny about the situation, though, was that the person asking this had a bf at the time who was anything but woke/politically correct and would have answered such a question as flippantly (and as triggering) as possible.

"Assigned [gender]", with or without "at birth" at the end, makes me think of all the awfulness surrounding both the Assigned Male web comic and its creator. Also, someone I knew had to fill out a health questionnaire whose first question was something along the lines of "What is your assigned gender?" When I explained what that meant and the reasoning behind it, the person rolled their eyes in disgust.
 
"Toxic". It gets overused so much and imo gets used to shut down the person it's referring to a lot without empathy. I see people talk a lot about cutting off toxic friends or whatever and half the time it's just...a person who clearly is depressed lol. Maybe I'm a bit of a softy and by all means a person should look after themselves and their own well being first, but it always grates on me to see people their friends off in their time of need over dumb shit. "Emotional labor" in the same vein. Any kind of therapy buzzwords really. People who use therapyspeak on their friends annoy the shit out of me.
 
Calling people ‘bodies’

Quit talking like an autistic robot and just say people. What was wrong with that?
Yesteryear the only time it was appropriate to refer to people as bodies was once said people had expired, typically in some kind of accident or tragedy. It's a dehumanizing term.

The question "how many people are trapped in the ship?" is more distressing than "how many bodies are still onboard the ship?", thus bodies is preferred in a recovery context.
Any time I hear someone say bodies in lieu of people my mind thinks that they are talking about corpses for a split second.

Using "bleeding bodies" to refer to women sounds like something out of a horror movie.

It is also not really better than incels calling women "foids", "toilets", or "holes".

we really do live in autistic times

It's shit like this that makes me sound more and more like a feminist and I hate it. Women are women, not holes or uterus-havers or birthing people or mensturators or bleeding bodies. It's that same dehumanizing language that woke types are so enamored with yet ostensibly fight against. It's objectifying to the point of reducing a woman's value down to her reproductive attributes.

All of this linguistic contortionism in service of pleasing unhygienic, histrionic male eunuchs so they can dare to call themselves women.

Be more inclusive, bigot!

"Bodies" is just one of the many examples when it comes to inclusivity. In fact, inclusivity as whole just affirms my speculations that the entire process (intellectual bullshit, race grifts, etc) is just a mission to strip people away from their individuality, ultimately reducing them into those generic "bodies," "masses."
 
[...] ultimately reducing them into those generic "bodies," "masses."

The woke do like to judge people by skin color, and seem to think of all of a kind as being alike. Like thinking a "community" (a kind) has the same views on a subject. Like thinking a white guy can be "racist" because "whites are oppressors", while a black guy can't because "black Black people are marginalized" (or any "racism" done is somehow the fault of white people). I guess when one follows that that kind of BS hive thinking to the end, people aren't seen as people anymore - just generic "bodies" in a hivemind.
 
“Fuck around & find out.”

Sounds so dumb, are they trying to (poorly) proposition someone for sex, or what? I know the answer, still, can’t help cringing at the dumb.

It’s a verbal equivalent of a 15 year old kid pulling on a leather jacket to try & look tough because he is intimidated by a dude in his neighborhood, then he walks outside to pose in the jacket. Absolutely similar.

Funny thing is FAFO was originally you'd usually hear from gun owners (or LARPing gun owners) but now its heavily dropped by wannabe antifa dickweeds and rioters. That's part of why you'll hear it slurred out by some dillweed with their phone out hoping they can get some cancellation fodder on someone they're harassing.

The comparison to a 15 year old popping their collar is absolutely accurate to both incarnations.
 
"Goon"
As a young child, I thought it meant something akin to a goblin or troll.

When I got older, I learned about goons in the form of hired thugs sent to do someone's dirty work. ("Hired goons?")

Then, I unfortunately learned that it could also refer to people that gave Lowtax $10.

Now, it's apparently yet another term used for ejaculating. Fucking enough already. It's not funny, and it makes you sound even more immature than if you used any other slang.
 
"Be safe" when used in a social media context.
I use this alot with my coworkers 'cause the work we do is really dangerous. Safety and coming home alive at the end of the day is paramount. But these pussies using it because someone might type mean words at you, just irritates the hell out of me.
 
Using the term "jab" instead of vaccination. It is annoying to see such a trivialization of medical procedures. Also, I am certain that the media use the term to "sound cool", but instead, they sound cringe to me.

another trendy UK import...probably the bongs' revenge for our turning all their young people into ebonics-spewing tards
