What's wrong with the word ointment? It's a perfectly good pharmaceutical or medical term.
I can't stand the American term sammie or the British term sarnie for sandwich.
I have only heard the term strumpet used by Phoebe Wallingford.

"incredible" and "amazing" have both been destroyed in the last few years.
If you use either of those words to describe something, you describe it not at all. You are describing your reaction to it. The reader or listener still has not been given a single fact about the goddamned thing. You're just talking about yourself.

"Stabby" is not a word, R6, it's a made-up word, a form of mass-jargoning by a generation of emotional kindergarteners.
I can top that one: "Yelly."
As in "yells a lot," "aggressive," "bellicose," "belligerent," etc. Actually used in my workplace on a performance review by a woman with a degree from a (once) good school. I've since heard it from other people but I always imagine it in her fry-ridden baby voice.

"Rapey" makes me furious. Rape is an extremely serious allegation. It sticks to the person accused in much the way "terrorist" does. It is unconscionable to use either of those words lightly or cavalierly when making an allegation. 'He seems kind of rapey....' No. That is not acceptable.
