“literally” and “like”
…because it’s literally used like every two words
Like literally like oh my gawd did you see that basic bitch with last year’s iPhone pro max ultra deluxe special edition? I’m totally unfolloeing her on everything
it’s literally the day after the release of the new model
Ointment… it sounds so gross
Too many to count. A lot of the current slang
Rizz comes close to the top of the list
“Walkie-Talkie”
Its a “Handheld Transceiver” ffs, who the fuck gave it such a stupid name lmfao
Is a Telephone a “Chit-y-Chat-y”? A computer a “Beep-ie-Boop-ie”?
And who would ever use a childish word like “movie”? It’s called a moving picture.
Relevant greentext:
The sandwich bit is nonsense, given that it owes his name to the Earl of Sandwich AFAIK.
Tumescent
I’ve come to hate “Utilize.” It has a decent purpose as “using to the fullest extent,” or, “making do with something in a new context.”
Instead, I just hear it as a replacement for “use” when someone wants to sound smart.
“Heh heh… Utilize. 👉👌”
“Me and the boys was wonderin’ if we could go family style on 'er…?”
😏
Any misspoken words, said with full confidence that it is correct.
I left him know.
There’s a woof in the backyard.
Can I (aks) you something?
That one I hear so much, I’m afraid it will become the new normal way of pronouncing ask. Definitely bugs me!
Well, it was an old way of pronouncing it: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/people-have-been-saying-ax-instead-ask-1200-years-180949663/
pulchritudinous
it’s an incredibly ugly word
Ironic!
Trump
egg
“Stylized”
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
Can’t just pick one so here’s a couple.
“Crypto” used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. “AI” used to refer only to LLMs. “Research” to refer to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase “do your own research” that’s being bandied around in some communities.
“AI”, referring only to LLMs.
Yeah, it’s annoying because there are a lot of legit image recognition and pattern matching applications in my work field, and I need to ask for clarification every time someone says “AI”.
Like, is this actually useful, or do you mean “we asked ChatGPT to generate you 20% nonsense”?
The F word that means “a bundle of sticks” used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.
With some specific exceptions, for me. If you are one, and you aren’t using it against others, it’s fine. Like storytelling and describing a conversation, or just even being playful about it. Maybe being at a store with some friends looking at clothes or something, describing yourself and how something looks perhaps? Totally fine in my book. That’s our term, we should be able to reclaim it for ourselves.
But someone else who I don’t know and can’t immediately determine the meaning/context that uses it? Bitch you about to die.
I don’t know. I think reclaiming slurs can be a good thing, (queer, for example), but that one is inherently violent and I always feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Like, there’s a reason you didn’t write it out in your comment.
Fair. I didn’t type it since I don’t want to be that guy like ‘you mean [word]’. It’s very context sensitive yeah, but I think it’s okay in the right moment.
that’s gay, it obviously means cigarettes
It’s unfortunate - I like the concept of people talking about bundles of sticks, or slang for cigarettes. But the negative usage so dwarfs those cases that they’re really no longer legitimate
Slay because my 10 year uses it for everything. Slayalicious, slaytastic, slayme…
Nag. Just sounds harsh
Bungalow. Should be obvious.
People who shorten food names aren’t doing English any favors…
'za (Pizza), taters, sgetti, nanners, gnosh (im hungry I need some gnosh gnosh)
