"Current year" terms that piss you off

[Dysnomia]

I hate it when people use the terms "Pet parent" or specific words like "cat mom", "dog dad", "fur baby/child" or even "plant parent". These type of people replace having children with animals or objects. When someone calls themselves either one, I automatically think that they're misanthropes.

People have done that for a really long time though. It's just being used to sell more products and get more views on social media now.

That said, I don't like it when people dress up little dogs in clothes. It's not a doll.

If it’s snowing outside, my lapdog is going to be wearing a coat for his walk. And yes, it’s adorable

Being a misanthrope is more understandable after 2020.

But "fur baby" may get annoying.

You typed "misanthrope." Did you mean "observant?"

Better to treat a dog like a doll than your own child. See also: cutesy names, using them as props, teaching them to beg, and fussing over them.

The parents who see their children as pets are much worse than the spinsters who see their pets as children. Not that the latter aren't irritating.

People who describe their pets as their "children" should be forcibly sterilized.

I think they would enjoy it, as I am aware of zero "pet parents" who actually are of mythical "wanted children, could not" category.

in my opinion i think putting your pet in clothes for practical reasons is fine, and the occassional dress-up for halloween or christmas or whatever can be cute. it's when you're constantly sticking them into stupid outfits for attention that it becomes a problem.

Any word in pop culture, starting way back with WASSSSSUUUUUP and continuining all the way to whatever the fucking drivel is that comes out of people's mouths. Worse when it's an adult who should have enough life experience and a brain to know it's a marketing scam, or...what is it that the kids call it? Dog whistling or gas lighting?

Both of those terms are fucking stupid.

I was never a fan either, but I have one dog with no undercoat who likes it warm out, so he likes having a sweater (even though I can tell he doesn't like the sensation of wearing).

And then my other dog doesn't really need one but just... really likes wearing them. He sat down and begged for a sweater the first time he saw us put one on our other mutt.

Still not crazy about clothing a dog just for "fashion" though.

 

[Onion Guide]

Any way too specific term for a logical fallicy, or any word for something you can use to instantly shoot down some dumb fuck Twitter argument.

'Umm actually that's a Reverse Chekov's Double-Blind Strawman'

 

[Mamas boy]

"Sussy" makes me want to rip someones head off.
Using internet terms or memes irl. Its fucking cringe.
"Yikes" is something I hear all too often when I open my mouth.

“Who’s an edgy boy? You are, you are!” I’m not a dog you daft bitch. And it’s not even for stuff that’s actually edgy like needlessly bringing up statistics of minorities and conversation and dumb asses with no social filter or understanding do, it’s me cracking a joke. Or someone else cracking a joke, that at worse pokes fun at a stereotype that the person themselves are about.

It’s fucking annoying and online it’s even worse, it’s all I ever fucking see when anyone brings up something remotely controversial.

[What the shit]

Apparently, people are using "front" as the equivalent of a lie or lying.

"We can fix it in post" and "Friday deploy to production."

No you can't fix it in post, and I'm not working saturday to fix your fuckup.

"queer": i guess the grand poobah of alphabet people decided that using a slur as an umbrella term was suddenly good and correct and all the other alphabet people were unanimously okay with it. i get the whole reclaiming thing, but pushing something that's still very much an insult as the mainstream, socially acceptable identifier that you should refer to fags by is some smoothbrain shit. it especially wrecks me when straight people use it to get good boy points.

Wasn't queer the polite way of saying faggot before gay was?

"Humans" in news articles when the author clearly means "people".

Give every human a copy of 1984 and The Little Prince

...the Zeignerik Effect, which compels humans to....

...where humans must be in the driver seat but can take their hands off the wheel...

...widespread fears about the game forcing players into close proximity with other humans amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

There's just something about the word being used in that way that pisses me off. It makes sense when you have to distinguish human beings from animals, robots, ect., but most of the time it just seems pretentious and gratuitous. In line with the standard Silicon Valley writing style, in other words.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

The way media uses "dunked on". It's only a way to signify that they got a win and that usually amounts to getting a social media response and frame it to own the haters(for some reason?), like "if you could even afford ... you broke as losers ... yeah what if I did, what you gonna do about it?" and so on. It's like big media joining together to form a voltron style giga-media that decides what is right and what is wrong.

 

[The Last Stand]

The term gender being misused to mean "sex." Evidently, there are 63 genders. What? Actually, the term "gender" in general now is confusing.

 

[ClownBrew]

You know how KF hates the "partner" thing? That's how I'm starting to feel about "fiancee" at this point.

Everybody's playing house with a temp-to-perm "fiancee" and two illegitimate kids these days...and I'm starting to think the '50s had a point about how bad that is.

Brrruhhhh, this post is lit.

“Nah he tweakin”

It just suddenly appeared one day and now I see it spammed EVERYWHERE on Instagram meme pages. I never found it funny and it’s actually really annoying now because almost EVERY comment is just “nah he tweakin” “nah he tweakin” and there’ll only be a small handful of actually interesting comments.

I developed super cancer as soon as I started seeing as. As you say, it appeared almost literally overnight, and was fucking everywhere.

I hate 'automatic' language in general. When used unironically, it reveals the author or speaker to be a vegetable headed retard who is incapable of utilising the English language any better than a dog fucking a pillow.
