Tea used to mean gossip.
Goals when used as in this sentence: “They are goals”. I had never heard it used that way until I saw a thread here about someone’s uncle and his boyfriend being goals. I found it hard to imagine someone being a goal. I can see admiring or emulating someone, but being a goal makes me think of soccer or hockey. I picture the subjects of the sentence being kicked through goalposts by Messi. Someone finally properly explained the usage in the thread, and it clicked that the OP’s meaning was that they are people to emulate.

"Wait…I didn't order that," I said.
"You ordered a roast beef on Sourdough with mayo, lettuce and horseradish," she said.
"I did," I replied, "but you just called it something else, and I have no idea what you're talking about."
"A sammy?"
"Yes. But I ordered a sandwich."
She then explained that a "sammy" WAS a sandwich, to which I replied there would be much less confusion if they stopped using nursery school terms and called it what it was.

R375, yes, I can see where it could be annoying, but this practice results from the lack of an acceptable informal word for "women". The waitress can't say "Hi, gals", much less "hi, girls." "Hi, ladies" is equivalent to "hi, gentlemen" and might be acceptable to some, but it would offend others. "Hi, women" is as ridiculous as "hi, men" would be.
What happens when one needs to address a group of women collectively? This is where the Southern "y'all" would come in handy, but it sounds fake coming from someone who isn't a Southerner. There's really no good alternative.
(In the specific setting you describe, I don't think the waiter or waitress needs to address the group collectively at all. A simple "good evening" or "hello" would do - but sometimes a collective noun is needed, and there isn't one.)

We use euphemisms all the time. If your dog or cat is too old and suffering and can't be helped, you don't say that you want the veterinarian to "kill" him, even though that's exactly what he is doing. You say "put to sleep" or "euthanised".

I agree R415, people are squeamish about death and use euphemisms about different things. I suppose it's a matter of taste - you were brought up not to say 'dead' but I wasn't brought up with that taboo so to me it is just irritating, and the thread is about personal objections.
I think also for me it is about more than that though - the way that people tiptoe around death is annoying to me as I think it is a subject that should be discussed. When you have experienced a sudden and unexpected/particularly upsetting death, as many of us have, people tend to take pains not to refer to it as though it were indeed a dirty subject, which can make you feel even more dislocated from the world around you. I think Western societies would probably be healthier emotionally if we did talk about death a bit more, and using those sort of euphemisms just underlines the problem we have with it.
But like I say, at the end of the day it is a matter of taste.

R420, talking to someone who was close to the deceased is a very tricky thing. They get offended by things people say to them at the funeral (or wherever) even though they know that wasn't the intent of the person who said it. They're very touchy.

I agree again R421, I'm not blaming them and I would do the same. I'm thinking of the contrast between countries like Britain and mainstream America with countries where you see people responding more naturally to death wailling over the coffin and crying and holding each other in public. Not that I'd necessarily be comfortable with that either, but it speaks to my point about 'passing'/'passed away'. I was speaking to someone else in my family who hates it also and she said what I think, that it's like people are trying to make death 'nice' by using euphemisms around it but death is never nice.
Which isn't to say that I don't understand why people use it, I really do, just that I don't like the word itself and what it represents.

R424 here. Yes, you are correct, but I meant this when “They, Them, and Their” are used as a singular pronoun in lieu of “he or “she”. One of those transloons insisted on this because this doesn’t specify gender. “They, Them and Their” are plural. The transloon also thought “Zee, Zey, Zem” was acceptable. Isn’t it delightful?
by Anonymous | reply 428 | April 29, 2019 10:58 PM |
R422, I used to think that, too, but now I realize that in most cultures people are taught to be respectful of the dead. Saying that someone has "passed' is viewed as polite; saying that someone is "dead" is insultingly cold. WASPs ("God's frozen people") do not think that way at all: to them, when you're dead, you're dead. You're thrown in the ground, your property is divided, and that's that. But that hard-headed approach isn't favored in most places.
by Anonymous | reply 429 | April 29, 2019 11:11 PM |
Yes, but I don't think that saying 'dead' is disrespectful, that is the difference. You're talking in terms of paying respects to a living relative, I can't remember a time when I've had to say either 'dead' or 'passed away' specifically - although I have had friends lose people. I may say 'passed away' if i had to say one AND I thought that the person I would speaking to would find that easier.
But we also have reason to speak of death and dying in other contexts. For example I might refer to 'when my dad died' or 'before my dad died' and for me there would not be an ounce of disrespect in that, either to me or to him. To me it would feel mealy mouthed and affected to say 'passed away', but I know that that is not the same for everyone.
Like I said earlier, it is a matter of taste, and as you intimated, it is a matter of (crucially) what you were brought up with. You were brought up to believe that saying 'dead'/'dying' is disrespectful, I certainly was not.
This thread is about our personal feelings about words, those are mine. Not to cause an argument but I don't like the implication that 'passed away' is inherently more respectful than 'died' - that is subjective and, to an extent, context specific. Those are your feelings not mine.
There may be a cultural difference perhaps too? I don't know if you are America? a lot of people on this board are. I know that 'passed away' is used in Britain also but in my experience the US is a more euphemistic culture in other ways too so that may contribute your assumption that being forthright about death is inherently disrespectful, which I do find odd, as the implication is that I am disrespectful, which I am certainly not.

R430, I did not intend to suggest anything about you personally. I'm an American, and was brought up the WASP way, to speak in a direct manner about death. People in many other cultures feel that the dead are still a part of their lives, and so they try to be more formal when talking about them. That was the only point I was trying to make, that what to us seems to be euphemistic language is serving a cultural purpose, one that is foreign to us.
by Anonymous | reply 438 | April 29, 2019 11:49 PM |
That's fair enough R438, thank you for explaining. I wasn't talking about people in other cultures using words like 'passed away' but people in my own with same background as me (ie. white British), or, I suppose, WASPy Americans. In this context I don't think it's a way of maintaining links with the dead but a way to collectively distance ourselves from the dead and from dying.
I think other cultures open-ess about death is a lot better - to me 'passed away' sits at odds with this, although I can see that for some referring to people as having passed on or just 'passed' can be a way of maintaining links, as though they still exist but in another room so to speak, so that does make sense.
I think it's all about who uses it when and why. In my experience it is a distancing mechanism but in another culture it could be the opposite.

Please don't say 'wrong', that comes off as really arrogant. The theme of the thread is what words don't we like - it's entirely subjective, and in this case partly cultural.

I can barely tolerate "my kids" for "my children" - plural - but "my kid" for "my child/son/daughter" is crude unless it's used in a humorous way. And yet, when used with the definite article, as in "we took the kids to Disney World", it's OK in informal speech. Weird, I know.
Referring to someone else's children as "her kids" sounds pejorative ... which may be the intent.

Unfortunately, irregardless has been misused so often it’s now considered a word. It grates on my nerves probably more than any other word.
And, r484, that word I had to get used to after I found out the reasoning behind it.

It has always been "panties" when I was growing up in Canada. "Knickers" sounds like something from the 19th century. The Brits are wrong as usual. I was hoping that Britain being swamped with American pop culture would make the Brits speak proper English, but I guess not. They're a very obstinate lot.

I have only heard this word once, and that was when someone cut in front of someone else in a liquor store.
"I don't care that he needs to go, he just needs to exhibit some politesse".

Police officers write reports using lots of extra words::
"The car was red in color." NO! "The car was red" will suffice.
"The crash was at the intersection of 4th and Maple." NO! "The crash was at 4th and Maple."
"The victim was 28 years of age." NO! "The victim was 28," OR, if you must, "The victim was age 28."
"He drove the car in a reversing direction into the alley." NO! "He drove the car in reverse into the alley," OR (even better) "He reversed (or backed) the car into the alley."
As a career police officer, with years as a training officer and sergeant, I've been trying to get my division to speak and write more clearly, but it's like pissing into the wind. And also, they just don't care.

As with just about everything related to human behavior, they don't care because they have no incentive to care (or no disincentive not to care.) People rarely change unless it benefits them in some way, or if failure to change causes them some sort of pain (not necessarily physical, of course.) Reward them or punish them -- it's the only way to make things work.
