Let’s be stupid fucking words

misuse of > like and literally

I'm someone's bussy.

Slayyyyyy

Words that now have become stupid, i.e. have lost any of their complexity and are only used in specific contexts:

Problematic

Reimagining

Acclimate

ENJOY!

Woke

Pressed

Hunty

Bougie

Millenials

Anything a Gen Z says

Social Media

Social Distancing

'Circle back'

Quiet quitting

Inflection point

GOAT

Fake News

I'm theybie

Process, as in "that's part of the process"

MAGA

It's a "bop."

🙄

I’m getting sick of color as in “to put some color on this…”

People use “color” now to mean “add more detail”. It’s a little prissy.

Cis

I'm guncle.

I'm intersectionality.

prolly

Prolly has six letters. Probably has eight.

What do people do with all that extra time they save by omitting two letters?

I'm anyways.

I'm:

"I'm trying to image that."

You mean...IMAGINE????!!!!

Fucking idiots.

I’m unbox or unwrap, as in “there’s a lot to unbox here.”

'Button up' or 'zipper up' :

"To button up what you're saying, I just want to add..."

Alyssa and Sara on 'The View' say this often, and Meghan McCain used to say this phrase all the time. Please make it go away.

Non-binary

Unpack

Posthaste.

Indubitably.

Egads.

Gadzooks.

Rapscallion.

Zounds.

Hoosegow.

Dork.

Shiner.

"Gift" as a verb. There was a perfectly good word for that, "give." wtf?

R26 "prolly" is so dumb and renders its user too stupid to talk to and makes me use the ignore feature. How fucking lazy are they?

Same with "dunno".

R31, are you posting from the 1950s?

Sorry, I mixed my threads. That was meant for "Words you don't hear anymore."

Either way. Many of the words I listed are stupid fucking words.

Agree, and ironically I was going to ask if you meant to post that in the other thread but didn’t.

Funny both ways.

Clap back.

Onboarding

When people text back just "K." Takes me back to the days of my passive aggressive ex.

Curate.

It's your closet, not a fucking museum.

“Narrative” bothers me.

It used to be okay, but it’s everywhere now and very irritating to me.

Not a word, a phrase that must die. Though circle back is starting to replace it:

Let's put a pin in that (thought, idea, discussion).

Cloth, voodoo dolls, balloons, brooches and dreams. That is where pins belong.

Myself.

Only because it’s so over used and very frequently incorrectly.

There’s nothing wrong with ‘me.’

r43 don't forget bulletin boards. I think that may be the genesis of the phrase, but it's still annoying.

My: fine

Truth: fine

My truth: Anyone using this, a grease fire awaits you.

Kiddo, doggo, hubs. Mommy forums are my nightmare.

OH god YES r47! YES! And the DD, DS, DH, etc. Shoot all of those dumb bitches into space.

Doggo bothers me the most but it's a close race.

Furbabies.

The phrase "thoughts and prayers" with 🙏 thrown in.

I’m my “lived experience”

Ebonics

Had came, had wrote etc. instead of had come, had written. It's way too common for something that sounds so dumb.

adorbs

Had ate, r52.

(Another one.)

eating they box

Let's be a stupid, crooked ass faced, cunt

Nepo babies

Tryna

Ima

CIS.

Chest Feeding

People who menstruate, to build on r60

Problematic

If we can say phrases:

Let that sink in.

'Literally when it means 'figuratively.'

I’m kiddo

Crushing on

"Cringe" and "Creepy"

EVERYTHING is 'cringe' and 'creepy' to Zoomers and Millennial. They need a new word to describe people and things they are not familiar with.

Sus

Blatinx Husbear

Gurl

Pivot

Space, when used to describe the career category you are in " I worked in the Marketing "space " ."

Unhoused

Underrepresented Groups

Intimate Partner Violence

Differently Abled

Hygienic ( when used in laundry detergent commercials trying to imply "sanitary " which are to different things )

[quote]which are to different things

Oh, dear!

I'm Forever Home

Or worse, furever home.

Comfort Zone

Food insecure. It's fucking HUNGRY, don't try to make it sound less than it is.

R75- I agree. All of the media in the USA seems to use that nowadays. That sounds like a phrase that was started by some FRAU at the NYT.

ECONOMIC DOWNTURN has replace the word recession in the media.

I'm "mouthfeel"

"Ratchet"

Misinformation and disinformation.

reaching out as in Thank you for reaching out in reply to an email. I wrote it, I didn't extend my hand to you.

So, R80, are you triggered by what's characterized as 'misinformation' and 'disinformation'? These words wouldn't have become part of the national discourse if there weren't so many people spreading it around.

Read a new one today in my city councilwoman's email: "traffic violence" to describe a woman being hit and killed by a truck. Yes, she is a progressive/democratic socialist so she commits a lot of vocabulary violence.

That’s LITERAL VIOLENCE!!

Please call me as soon as you get this message. I always found the as soon as you get this message redundant. As opposed to please call me 30 minutes after you get this message.

Cheugy

Impacted.

Affected is a perfectly fine word. Why not use it?

Sus or adorbs. Those words irritate the hell out of me.

Totes, R88

Sea-change.

Oh, fcuking YES: Sea-change!?!!

Creepy comes in handy as there are Alot of creepy people out there.

I could care less

Nothingburger

Filibuster

Gerrymander

Price point.

No, idiot, you mean price. Don’t try to sound important.

SLAW

instead of Cole Slaw

Frisco.

Delusional.

If ever a word has been overused in the past decade, and lost all sense of meaning, it has to be DELUSIONAL. Please make it stop !

Not every person who disagrees with you is 'delusional'.

cis

LGBTQIA+

"Tie this conversation up and wrap a bow around it."

Willie Geist said this again this morning on 'Morning Joe'. As bad as 'button up what you said' and 'zipper up what we're talking about'.

Savvy

Adulting

hoo-ha and va-jay-jay.

Hootenanny

Let's not get OVER OUR SKIS.

"at the end of the day"

Queer

It is what it is.

(To which I always respond, 'But does it have to be? Why can't there be change?')

And you are ....?

My truth. BIPOC

It's all good.

"What you said is SUPER RUDE and SUPER OFFENSIVE!"

I'm I did a thing, I was today years old, about last night, girl dad, chef's kiss,

I'm "invite" used as a noun in place of "invitation." All the very best yokels use me: "I done sent the invites, Ma!"

R114 lol

Newbie

Spirit animal

YUMMY!

What’s the TEA?

Get some serious COIN.

Queer

These made up pronouns.

Labels

Veggies

No problem

Birthday month.

I'm triggered by people who lie r82. Those words were made up to cover up lies in the media. Similar to "fact check" which never actually checks the facts.

Let's be stupid fucking people.

You still have a tRump/pence sign in your front yard.

Spill the tea.

Reading the tea leaves.

Slippery slope.

Gender

Let's table that

[quote]R126: Those words were made up to cover up lies in the media. Similar to "fact check" which never actually checks the facts.

How do the words 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' 𝑐𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑝 "lies in the media"? Seems to me that identifying 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' would tend to expose it.

Give an example of what you mean by "lies in the media", or something you think is ill-served by characterizing it as 'misinformation' or 'disinformation.'

Out in these streets

Unhoused

You're behind the times r127. I've had my Trump/DeSantis flag for almost two years now. R131, what doesn't the MSM lie about? Those are nonsense words for stupid people. Didn't they make them up around the same time the Trump derangement syndrome started?

He’s a genius.

I'm just living my truth on my "journey".

Elon

Taking my power back

Breaking down barriers

Breaking stigmas

Slayyy. Mothers

'No there there'.

'Nothingburger'.

A medical episode. It's not a TV show.

Marinate.

"Let this idea marinate for a while and then we'll come back to it."

Ideas don't soak in a marinade like beef does.

“I identify as a cheesecake.”

"foodie"

Bone-broth.

"I'm no-seatbelts in cars old" or "I'm smoking on planes old" are starting to really annoy me.

and her I am agains with “KIDDO” for someones brat

FAT acceptance
