Ngl.

If you use this often I'll assume that anything you say that doesn't start with this is a lie.

y'all.

Immediately know I'm dealing with a terminally online blue-haired tyrant whenever I read it.

 

[EternalSunshine1976]

Not a word but a phrase "My bad." Have never used the phrase and it grates on me when hearing it used, every single time.

As a perpetual "y'all" user from the American South, I hate how this term has pretty much been yanked (ahem) away from us by people who are nothing like us.

I am really starting to hate the word SLOP

It's not even a word that means much anymore. It's more of a buzzword for "bad" or "worthless."

I'm starting to think it's used more to shut down actual discussion rather than to describe anything meaningful

It's the new "cringe." Which was the new "problematic."

It's the new "cringe."

But "cringe" is useful. How would you describe "second hand embarrassment" without typing as many words?

Asking for real, English is my second language.

I agree about "problematic". It's the more pretentious version of "not good".

It's a real word that's been around for a while, like "That made me cringe" or something. But it's a very modern thing to hear it as a one-word reaction to something ("Cringe!") or used as an adjective ("That show is cringe") rather than its proper form as a verb.

It's modern usage also tends to be used as one of those catch-all word-that-describes-something-not-good too.

the f- word

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.

I hate it when it's used in fantasy shows like The Witcher or Game of Thrones.

It really takes me out.
