I was thinking about this and compiled a list of my grievances.
| "This." under something someone agrees with |
| "Yup." I really hate this word. |
| "Do better." |
| "This is the way." |
| "You're on the wrong side of history." What an insanely arrogant phrase. |
| "Happy cake day!" on Reddit. Fuck off. Who even gives a shit when people joined Reddit?? |
| "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." |
| "Ding ding ding! We have a winner." |
| "Nothing ever happens." in response to any theory that isn't the official mainstream media narrative |
| "Let's unpack this/a lot to unpack". I think "unpack" started in academia, as in "Unpacking the myth of otherness in lesbian literatures and poetries" |
| "Claps back/she clapped back with…" *clapping hands emojis* I think this started with sheboons or gay/drag culture. |
| "Oof" and "oy vey" |
| so-and-so "is good people." |
| "I did a thing." |
| "I'm literally screaming right now" when they are just mildly annoyed by something |
| "Fuck around and find out." |
| "Lives in your head rent-free" is past its sell-by date now |
| "You must be fun at parties." |
| "Unironically" used in any way |
| "He was unalived" or "unalive myself". Just say dead or kill |
| "Problematic" Seems like a word that started in academia and is now grossly overused on the Internet |
| "Let's dig in deep/let's do a deep dive" |
| Every zoomer dumbass says "type shit" now (here in Burgerland). I have no idea what it means. |
| Everything is "toxic" or "traumatic". Used so fucking often that they don't really mean anything anymore. |
| Everyone declaring their self-diagnosed anxiety and depression. Everyone online has it now and wears it like a badge of honor. Completely trivializes it for us who actually do suffer from shit like that. |
| Narcissistic Abuse & Narcissists. Apparently they're literally everywhere now and everyone's parents are Narcissistic abusers. |
| Everything is "gaslighting". Can be a useful word for a specific kind of psychological manipulation. It just ends up being applied to *everything* until it loses its meaning. See also: 'problematic', 'triggering'. |
| Fascist this, fascist that. |
| "The GOAT" or "is goated" |
| Calling every angry woman Karen |
| "If you know, you know." |
| "Bye Felicia." |
| "In these unprecedented times" during Covid |
| ...basically just every fucking phrase used on Reddit tbh |
