words you hate??

Y'all need to cut it out with saying Y'all. 😝

Honestly, I have as little problem with that as hearing "you all" or "you guys" or "you (insert group)." I grew up (mostly) in the south so that probably normalized it for me.

I get annoyed when people write it, not when they say/use it generally, for some reason.

Or when people who aren't from the south or rural US over-use it.
Can be super annoying.

Not a word so much as I hate how a lot of people take things painfully literal. Like it wasn't that long ago where many people watched enough comedy and satire to default to understanding things as a joke or an absurdist take. Where it was seen as a character flaw if you couldn't get the joke/satire/sarcasm. Now... it feels like the status quo. And then when they fail to see things clearly as a joke, they moralize against it. (Real talk... people who take a moral stance against a satire is inadvertently funny)

"Emblematic." "Problematic." And the practice of ending sentences that are statements with a rise in vocal pitch that makes it sound like a question.

I will henceforth try to use this in my work emails whenever applicable.

"Partner"

Why do I hear this everywhere now? Just say "wife/husband/girlfriend."

Crazy.

"Partner" was a term gay couples would use before gay marriage became more widespread.

Now it's flipped. 🙃
 
"Problematic"

Says nothing about whats being discussed, doesnt point to a problem or issue and it's just generally used to hide the real reason to dismiss something or to signal something.
 
Bespoke is a big one. Something wrong with with custom or unique? You just want that shakespearean panache to that one word when all your other words are of a 3rd grade playground vocabulary?

We don't have enough friendly/laid back + respectful words in English. I use 'mate' sometimes in text because of that. Especially since we destroyed "Mr/Mrs/sir/ma'am" & Covid destroyed the handshake.. we lack ways to signal respect & friendliness :\

I hate vibe
 
Ya'll was my #1 but it just becomes more and more annoying with each passing day. So many people use it now and it's very clear they only use it because they hear/see people online using it and want to fit in. And it saddens me that as online becomes more and more ingrained in us, everyone's personality is going to be lifted going forward. How many young people out there have lifted their entire personality and way of speaking off Tiktok? The number is probably in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

My gf just y'all-ed me the other day and I got super depressed about it. And yea, she's a tiktok addict, so that part checks out too.

I was there for the Lil B's peak. I lived in San Francisco through his peak, I even went to one of his shows, so I can say it as much as I want, thank you very much. Thank you Based God, you can fuck my bitch, swag, whoop, Martha Stewart!!!
 
Dollop. I hate it the way other people hate moist.

I don't get the hate for y'all, but I'm from Alabama, I've heard it used daily my whole life outside of the six years I spent in Oregon, in which case I was the only one saying y'all.

It's just a normal word in the US south, it's weird for it to be this triggering thing for people.

"Y'all" is literally a word in the English language... Made known from the American South. It's not new. Been around for over a century, possibly 2.

Of course, but there are tons of people using it now who have no connection to the south and are only using it because they hear others using it and want to fit in. It's not like they were raised hearing it or heard it from their parents, they either got it directly from social media or got it from their friends who got it from social media. It's southern twang. It's akin to an American who was born in like North Dakota saying "bloody" or "bullocks" with no connection to the UK.

I know people who've never said ya'll their entire lives and would always use you all, you(plural), youse, who just started saying it within the past 5 years.

What does that mean?
Can't say I've heard it before now.

it means nothing on its own. it comes from the twitch emote PogChamp.

qYq2sYqwTjIDaW5Z.png


it's the expression he made in a blooper reel he uploaded.

z809FqcwY8tX4DdJ.png


and the name PogChamp came from another video of the channel where they stacked Pogs, and after winning a game of Pogs (those coin shaped things), he was crowned the "Pog Champion"

after a while PogChamp became the main emote used when something cool happens on stream that leaves you shocked.
and on BTTV (which is a browser extension that adds additional emoted to Twitch) variations of it became popular,
like:

Pog

POGGERS

PogU

and a disapproving variant, PogO

so people started to say pog when they think something is cool. like, if you buy a booster pack of Pokemon cards, and you get a rare card, you'd say "Pog!"

gotten

every time it's used, there is an alternative phrasing that sounds infinitely less stupid.
it's the retarded little cousin of got, that was born with extra chromosomes.
 
Any nonsensical new age slang the kids say these days. If I had a dime for every time I heard "6 7", "capping", "rizzing", or "do a gritty" I would be a millionaire.

Love the word, mainly because it's not offensive or expletive imo.

It does have that going for it but it's just so ubiquitous now that I dislike it. It feels like everyone latched onto it and uses it as the latest one-word dismissive term (along the lines of "cringe" or "sucks"). It's less about the word itself and more about how often I see it.
 
the f- word

It used to be different, something said by an older or rough or crude person. But now it's extremely younger gen coded, and weirdly it's even sort of soft left / progressive coded. Throwing it around constantly in sentences immediately sounds more juvenile and "cringe" (if I can bother another of their favorite words) than anything else you can do.

It has simply changed in this way. Even hearing Rhea say "what the fuck is happening??" in the Pluribus pilot took me out of the scene. In the past, it didn't have this valence, but young idiots ruined it.
