Venting Please, don’t use the term “low-key” as an adjective to describe “a bit” or “partially”

Reddit is destroying the English language.

Before 2020, I never heard people saying “low key” as often as I do now. Seeing the term on Reddit is one thing, hearing people use the term while at work and school is annoying.

I always thought it was retarded and never used that shit once.

Thank you, a Mexican foid coworker of mine said “low key,” this past summer - and I lost the little bit of attraction I had to her, because she’s stupid.

thankfully i'm a non native english speaker, so most analytical features of the language sound retarded and artificial to me

Goddamn, I had to make a quick edit to this thread, because I didn’t put a hyphen between “low” and “key.”

Tiktok made all these nigga words mainstream way more than Reddit. I hate it personally because it’s Americanising the era I live. I’ve made threads before about wanting to preserve dialects (especially the diverse ones around me)
