What inoffensive words you hate but don't know why? - Random words your brain thinks is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

[didelphigina]

Words have meanings. Some words are annoying or tiresome to hear or look at, and then there are words you wish left the Oxford Dictionary.

But what words do you think you have a vendetta over but can't conclude why? Any words you're tired of hearing people spew out so much despite there may be reasoning to the active usages? I think "slop" is one word that even just saying feels off.

It's no different from any word suddenly being used en-mass by many people on the internet. Yet it's a word that, whenever I see it on my screen, I can't help but feel annoyed—to almost roll my eyes and groan outside the screen. I'm not eating my legs off or tearing off my face Mortal Kombat-style, but the word itself evokes something weird in me. Its usage to describe something bad often reminds me of words that people use to describe anything as "thing I don't like" despite most of its usage being justified.

It's not a bad word to say but it's a word I've grown tired of seeing on my screen so much. Weirdly enough when I hear the word slop outside of discussing something bad, I'm not affected by it. So it makes the whole complaining over it even stranger.

In short, the word violates my brain, and it being the go-to word for Youtubers to describe something bad doesn't make my hatred for it any less aggravating. Maybe I have high doses of autism. Who knows?

Do y'all have any similar incidents with a certain word? I'd like to know. I should clarify that I'm not talking about words like "liberal", "SJW", and "woke", but just random, inoffensive words—like hating the word "kind" or something. Just words that aren't meant to irritate you but irritate you nonetheless.

"Empathy" -- people have taken the definition (to be able to view or feel something from the perspective of others" and turned it into an emotional result rather than an analytical viewpoint. People think empathy requires someone to feel sorry or emotional for someone, however in reality empathy is simply being able to see things from another's perspective.

Empathy doesn't actually require someone to give a fuck about the person they empathise with. People have turned empathy in to sympathy.

Just because I don't give a fuck about someone's perspective doesn't mean I lack empathy. I have a lot of empathy to think in the minds of others... I simply think most people are fucking retarded and I don't care.

Selfie.

Absolutely. People take advantage of people's empathy for emotional manipulation. Many people are sympathetic towards things and groups of powers like corporations or even your next-door neighbor can take full advantage of it. It's why many people rely on emotions to solve things rather than through critical thinking—because many people were taught that emotional rage is the only way to handle something. They were taught that "If you feel bad for this thing, then you have to, effective immediately, DO something about that thing otherwise you're a terrible person"!

Empathy is important for a human to have but it sucks when people manipulate that for their own merits or to fearmonger people to their causes, religion, demands, etc.

I think so. Rizz, I can see it being a word many people have grown tired of hearing.

Juxtaposition. Jewsh said it once or twice on MATI which was fine, but ever since then, I've been hearing it fucking everywhere.

[Brenda Holiday]

Hyperbole because its not pronounced "hyper-bowl" and it should be, if it were then it would be the best word

 

[Dynamite Bean]

Pride is a word that due to current day events instantly makes my blood boil the moment I hear it

 

[Alaina's Rotdog]

Triggered.

Anything that remotely makes someone the smallest iota upset is considered a "trigger" and of course you have the retards out there who put "trigger warning" on everything.

To tack onto this, "seething" for the same thing.

No, being moderately annoyed at someone's stupidity/someone's very piss-poor attempt at "trolling" doesn't mean "LOL UR COPING AND SEETHING". "Seething" would be someone staying pissed off at you for days on end, but somehow every wannabe failed troll has turned that word into a synonym for "annoyance".

I also have come to hate the word "gaslighting". The term originally was in reference to abusers making their victims question reality by making them either doubt their own recollection of events, or flat-out telling them <thing> didn't happen when it did.

Now, if you've said something that contradicts what someone thinks is true (like trying to convince some dumbass shitlib that Kamala Harris isn't black, she's North Indian/Irish), but is objectively false, you're "gaslighting" them.

 

[TokiBun]

I know why I hate the word Hubby but I'll submit it anyways. Worst word ever.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

 

[Mister Baranavichy]

"Regarded", has been ruined for me, the people who go out of their way to speak in advertisement friendly new speak should be bludgeoned to death.

1. Nobody who uses retarded baring a very specific instance is disparaging the mentally disabled, they are rudely calliing your take idiotic or what have you.

And 2. The insult is the intent, not the word, if you are saying regarded to refer to someone who you think is retarded, a retard, they will perceive you are calling them a retard, so it's completly retarded to use regarded.

 

[Sir Baz the Intolerant]

Words that were invented by content creators as advertiser friendly alternatives to get around content filters on sites and apps like YouTube and Tik Tok, so think 'unalived' or 'graped'.

I fucking hate them because they are on the one hand incredibly insidious and are about as close to literal Newspeak as we've gotten so far, while also being fundamentally ineffective at their own purpose as while the words may be different the topics they're describing are still the exact same, thus making their use a purely performative gesture meant as a kowtow to our schizo corporate overlords.

I've also started to hear these words being used by normies irl, and that alone fucking terrifies me.
