TRANS

"iconic"

"a master class"

Any newsmagazine headline that reads to me as a lecture. Even if I agree with or am open to the point they're making. The minute the prisspot finger wagging starts, I'm out. " No, Its Not Okay to ( do/ think/ agree with xyz )".

You can cover your ears all you like, but fascism and nazism are on the rise all over the world. You just keep ignoring it. I'm sure that will solve the problem.

"As a nonbinary–"

Shut it.

"As a gay republican ..."

"you guys"

I am not a "guy." At least "y'all" lacks sex-specificity.

There is nothing wrong with "y'all."

In fact, as soon as I see someone hates it I use it more.

I'm not sure why but I'm irrationally irritated whenever someone says something is "gold" or "spot on"

Trust me, Racist, Watch to the end

Isn't the "gold" thing from a movie or sitcom? Can't remember.

Y'all must not read anything, because you Nazi folks have just about covered every clapback you guys could come up with. Trust me, you fascist Fraus think God speaks to you, because you read the Bible. As a single Gay Republican mom I think y'all need to do better 😠

“Here’s Why That Matters.” type headlines.

The articles are always trash.

Fox or Woke.

Thoughts & prayers. If I see it, I immediately wish death upon that person and curse their next of kin through all living relatives. I kid, but not really. Nothing worse than that phrase and how offensive it has become.

I have to will myself to find things I may have in common with them as I try to understand what our new normal is. We *have* to be willing to find common ground, no matter how painful it is. We have to lead by example, and we need real leaders who can model how to talk about peace and love with people who are different than us. There IS some common ground, we need to start there. But it’s easier said than done because another choice might be that we don’t try to build bridges? I don’t know. I need to learn more about how Germany dealt with post-WW2. Did Germany “re-integrate” former Nazis and their family back into society at all? My gut is we need to follow what was done by the Germans.

R79 The only "point" you are proving is "says something about YOU".

R99, that reminds me: "Wypipo."

Doggo. Just stfu .

Thanks R98 for unwittingly reminding me of another idiot phrase: "He/She will never know or care about you"

Just because some of us enjoy dishing the dirt about certain celebs, it doesn't mean we've had a total break with reality and are destined to become a star fuckers/stalkers.

I'm a real Southerner so I say 'y'all". No excuse for those north of the Mason Dixon though.

"Pupper"-who the fuck started this?

I did. I did, r104.

^ The dad is actually cuter then the pup 😍

Let that sink in.

Full stop.

I can’t.

OMG

"yt" is the worst. Just say you're racist, it will save time.

R103 it's alright as long as you are actually Southern and have the strong accent and everything. BUT ONLY IN THAT CASE.

So this happened.

I did a thing.

Hear me out.

For the last time...

I agree R39. Somehow this makes me feel less mad at the world knowing that plenty of you are also repelled by these things.

^ You weren't born with the sarcasm gene, were you? Or are you engaging in some sort of 3-D sarcasm?

R113 I suppose I am a bit stoned.

Super, ridiculously or stupid as in “Stupid, ridiculously, super easy.”

@r114, 😂🤪

I approve of r112's post, because it turns r39's snippy little nothing post into a positive rather than a vacuum of thought.

Fascism is real, unlike OP, who has never told the truth in his life when a lie would do.

Clapping hands emojis after every word, "Latinx", "birthing people", "gestational carrier".

"...and I am HERE FOR IT!"

Also, "lit." At one point, wasn't that slang for intoxicated? I guess now it's Zoomer-speak for..."blazing"? "Dazzling"?

Trans. Especially here. Immediate block and F&F and that’s for both sides. You’re all fucking insufferable and awful and should drop dead. No one likes or wants to hear from any of you cunts.

"Anti-trans"

Oh, the second someone refers to their kids as the Kiddo’s Im out

Anything coming from this idiot troll, posting like she's pulling things out of her ass and leaving them here with emoji slime:

R118 thinks that the extreme general overuse of the word "fascism" among certain folx means that OP is a liar and pretends to know OP's life story because of this erroneous assumption. Probably the same "logic" that leads r118 to overuse his favorite word "fascist", because he thinks he knows a lot, when in reality he is just another troll.

Rethug/Repig as a Jr High level "insult"

"Thank you for coming to my TED talk." Not really a stop-reading cue, because it appears at the end, but it's motivation to unfollow on social media. It tends to punctuate a smug would-be schooling of the masses on some issue anyway.

I can't believe that one didn't fade out in 2019, at the very latest.

"When I tell you I..." usually used on Twitter posts.

"here's the thing:"

"folk be"

"can I get an amen?"

"Read that again."

If I see an article capitalizing Black while lowercasing white I'll stop reading midsentence.

Capitalizing either is annoying. It just seems so jarring.

Agreed, R133. The sane thing would be to lowercase black and white, and continue capitalizing Caucasian, African, Asian, Caribbean, Pacific Islander, etc.

Artesian

World Class

A woman I work with says "boughten". As in, "We had boughten those things before at Target." I tune her out sometimes.

Rino

R136 even if it's meant ironically, that is bad.

Any Tweet that begins with "Can we talk about ... "

R138 Not meant ironically.

I tried ......... so you don't have to.

"read X to filth"

Tells me you're common as dirt in four words.

"Centering"

Example: "In this wine-tasting group, we are centering POC in sampling and discussions."

Meaning: "We are guilty, very wealthy Jewish or white 'progressives' and/or academics."

Suck those bad boys.

Pussy

Starting a sentence with "So."

Karen. Just stop. It's been overused to the point my teeth are on edge when I see it.

Almost everything mentioned so far annoys me. I'm testy these days.

You should destroy the world, r146. I'll help.

I don't get the hate for "so" sentences.

Adulting.

I wanted to punch this girl in the throat when I saw this video. Don't get me wrong the food actually looks good.

I thought it was just a isolated Indian thing but they're using it in Hertz commercials too.

But why don't they just call it by its real name?

Growing The Fuck Up

R149 it's a Millennial thing because they have to have a cutesy word for acting their age.

I'm glad social media wasn't a thing when I was growing up.

R150 mass media has been around since the national newspapers and the radio. SO you were "groovy" or, if the eldest eldergay here, "the cat's pajamas".

"assigned {sex} at birth"

Lib

Trans

Antifa

R151 mass media is nothing like social media. It's a totally different situation. The speed of communication, the numbers you can reach, is on a scale unlike anything in known human history.

*mass media of that time ^

I’ll have none of that vulnerability or empathy crap thanks very much.

Black and brown bodies

I can't even

Lifehack

R152 That one bothers me as well. As if they randomly pulled out of a box some snap on parts, shortly after delivery.. I support trans, yet having a medical background, this is a rubbish statement. Rather, sex is "observed and recorded" at birth. That should suffice, regardless of one's feelings about transpeople.

It's a clinical term previously only used for intersex children. Trans activists have made it a general term to describe everyone because it inherently posits the possibility that your sex was assigned incorrectly, which "sex observed at birth" does not.

R159 I'm not certain of the US, but in the UK, the phrase is "observed and recorded". Your point makes sense about that other phrase being reserved for intersex births, where it is ambiguous. I suspect for those cases of ambiguous genitalia, they ought to record "intersex" or "undetermined" until a genetic test can be performed.

like,

“Our group is open to anyone who identifies as (insert gender here).”

Pregnant people

Circle back. Virtue signaling.

It doesn't make me stop listening, exactly, but it kind of clangs when I hear people say "It was so fun" instead of "It was so much fun."

If "fun" is going to be used as an adjective, I prefer it come right before the noun it modifies. I realize this is not considered grammatically incorrect any longer, and that more people say "It was so fun" than "it was so much fun."

"Casted"

R165 I have never heard anyone say "It was so fun."

R167 I have!

r167, you mustn't watch much television.

Sex-Positive

[quote]"folk be"

Any intentional misuse of 'be.',' as in 'People be like...'

[quote]SO you were "groovy" or, if the eldest eldergay here, "the cat's pajamas".

Or the bees knees.

"Agency", unless it's used to mean a place that sells insurance or real estate.

"savage takedown" - inevitably a very lame comeback of which some sad case is way too proud.

R173 totally agree with that. Millennials love that word.

Basically to them, if they aren't allowed to do whatever they want, you are robbing them of their "agency" and thus making them unable to thrive.

Agency & adjacent are two popular gen z words being foist upon society at the moment

My pet peeve is "space."

About ten years ago, everything became a space. In some instances, I can see how this usage is necessary, but most of the time it's not.

Instead of a classroom, it's a "learning space."

Instead of a dining room or restaurant, it's a "dining space."

Instead of a house, it's a "living space."

And of course, it's assumed a figurative meaning, as in "create a space for dialogue" or "queer spaces" or "male spaces" etc.

Strip search 🔍

"Ask" as a noun.

"Reference," when used as a verb. We used to say "refer to."

"Interrogate," as in:

"Zanzi Gutierrez-X!ka is a nonbinary POC. They seek to interrogate the linguistic structure of rhetorical antitrans violence."

Medical jargon parroted by simpletons who, after hours of YouTubing and Facebooking, fancy themselves experts on infectious disease, vaccines, and the like:

Cohort, efficacy, outcomes, etc.

When people say 'the album is dropping' or I'll drop you a message'; from fucking where?

'slide into my DMs'

'you got this'

'going forward'

'at the end of the day'

'there's' instead of 'there're'

R183 'The first records of the idiom drop a line come from around the 1640s. It comes from the use of drop meaning “to write and send,” referencing the dropping of a letter into a mailbox, and the use of line meaning “a short written message.” '

[quote]there's' instead of 'there're'

There’re.

Not only will I stop reading, I’ll set fire to the device I’m reading it on.

OP question. 2 years later, a month before November 5 does the word fascist still trigger you?

Trump

CAFTANS!

Y'all will eventually be global, like OK is now understood in nearly every language.

[quote] "...and I am HERE FOR IT!"

R120 Two years later, and it‘s still around! 2024 additions: „to leave no crumbs“ and „drop“ when talking about anything but a new song or album.

Neoliberal

"Is ______ really a hill to die on?"/"Do you really want to die on that hill?" and variations thereof

"Came for the _________, stayed for the __________"

"We're really loving the [insert name of useless product]" (lazy copywriters)

"Arguably the most talented __________ of his/her generation" (journalistic cliché, said about everyone from Jeff Buckley to Sean Penn)

My biggest pet peeve is how some words are used now, like how everything is “iconic”. No. Chappell Whatever is not iconic. If she’s still around in 30 years, maybe. Also how people call anything they’re selling that is used “vintage”. No, something you bought brand new a couple years ago is not vintage.

Trump derangement syndrome

Defacto

Headlines overuse "breaks his/her silence." It places undue importance on mostly nothing stories. But hey, anything to get clicks, right?
