Do any of these words or terms annoy you?

[Mystic Mock]

Poll will be coming shortly.

And you're a better person than me if you vote for none of them.:laugh:

[Redway]

Gooner and simp do irritate me, tbf. I think everyone’s got the potential to get irritated by at least some words, in and beyond your poll.

[The Slim Reaper]

Can you add brother and sister to the list, so Cherie has got something to tick :smug:

[The Slim Reaper]

Rizz is probably the one for me, but that's only because it's most current and being overused, like all the others were during their time in the sun.

[Redway]

Steeze is another random word that just sounds off to me.

It means, like, swag.

[Maru]

Birthing person

[Cherie]

Can you add Dude to the list so I have something to tick, cheers Mock :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

bro and bra to the list

[bots]

please add "it's giving" and "truth to power"

[Ammi]

…that’s the thing…’time in the sun’….or buzzwords I think is the modern phrasing…I don’t find any of the words annoying, it is though interesting as to how they’re picked up and used casually/regularly as opposed to in context of explanation etc…I mean, you say words/phrases etc which may be typical to you…as I do the same and as most people we know do…and they’re ‘us-isms’ so in no way would ever annoy as words, it would be people that would annoy, not the words…:laugh:…I just find that buzzwords or words that are having their day in the sun don’t always fit the sayer…they’re just a trend accessory of the day and carried along by social media’s etc…

[bots]

i think the use of buzz words is lazy. It means people aren't prepared to spend the time articulating what they want to express. It just becomes robotic and silly

…lazy maybe …but I also think that buzz words and phrases etc of the moment have a damaging impact also because they often don’t remain individual words and quickly become labels …they’re not words/phrases that are typical of the user, they’re words/phrases typical of a time/trend…

it becomes coloqual language too, like you only understand what a phrase means if you are part of the tribe that is in the know. Some of these phrases can be quite sinister too. I would just much rather people say exactly what they are thinking :laugh:

Of course, the problem in all of this is that i know i do it too, but i do think younger generations use them more frequently while i'm still using buzz words from 30 years ago :dance:

…yeah of course, that’s why I said context, though…for instance, to say a word or phrase that is typical to something like a particular reality show…?..is in context…to ‘weaponise’ it in a way of creating or supporting divides is entirely different…

[BBXX]

I think for me it's mainly the yoof slang type terms like Rizz, Peng Teng and Peak. I'm too old :laugh: However, Mansplaining I find annoying and Woke because of it's over and improper use, such as when Disney includes a character who happens to be a lesbian in a film or when there is an interracial couple in an advert.

[Jessica.]

No, I'm normal.

[BBXX]

No, I'm normal.

I'd say "WATCH YOURSELF you Woke Snowflake! Don't bother Mansplaining why you reclined your seat. I can smell the Toxic Masculinity oozing from you! As if I don't have to deal with The Male Gaze enough, I have to see you Peak at me on the plane? You think you're Totes Lush, don't you? A Peng Ting who deserves to make other people uncomfortable! Won't you Think Of The Children, what kind of example are you setting for them? You're just another man using the Patriarchy for his own benefit like every other Simp reclining his seat in front of a woman. I don't know what Gooner is, Babe but it probably describes you. This is not a Safe Space for you to be Problematic. You have no Rizz, your chin is Moist with drool, you're pathetic. Go Slay the personal space of someone else because you have Triggered me with your lack of respect. If I was an Influencer I'd have your Vibes cancelled in a flash! I hope the next person you sit in front of has a more Wholesome experience than me!

and definately add that vile word "inclusive"

:joker:

[Benjamin]

I don’t know what some of those words mean. :laugh:

But totes has always bugged me (specially when it’s paired with amazeballs). Luckily not many people have used that expression since the 00’s.

Woke annoys me as it seems to be so many people favourite word to use for most things nowadays.

Boomer needs to be added to that list too. So many people use boomer as insult but have the complete wrong generation.

[Glenn.]

A lot of the members who use the woke on here don’t even know what it means.

[arista]

Can you add brother and sister to the list, so Cherie has got something to tick :smug:


No they are
Communist type words


Shows you are older

[arista]

Because it is
Over Used in the Wrong Way


[Woke is an adjective derived from
African-American English has been used since
the 1930s or earlier to refer to awareness
of racial prejudice and discrimination,
often in the construction stay woke.
The term acquired political connotations
by the 1970s and gained further popularity
in the 2010s with the hashtag #staywoke.
Over time, woke came to be used to
refer to a broader awareness of
social inequalities such as sexism
and denial of LGBTQ rights.
Woke has also been used as shorthand
for some ideas of the American Left involving
identity politics and social justice,
such as white privilege and reparations
for slavery in the United States.]

The original meaning of the word meme, which was coined by Richard Dawkins; was to describe a phenomenon for things spreading through groups and across the world, that wasn't part of biology, but sort of worked in a similar way to genes (hence meme), and the initial example he gave was of people wearing baseball caps backwards.

I think these words follow the same principle, which is amplified by the internet and social media.

[Vicky.]

I don't know what some of them mean. Moist has to be the worst tho

[Cherie]

Bro when you are a middle class white male has to be the worst tbf

There was a part 2 because I couldn't search for the original thread (to add more stuff) as it was in C&G. I created part 2, put it in general (so I could search), asked to keep it in general, then it was moved into C&G anyway :laugh:
