I’m so fucking tired of the word “cringe” lately.
pulchritudinous
it’s an incredibly ugly word
Ironic!
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/

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…?”

The F word that means “a bundle of sticks” used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.
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
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.

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)
Too many to count. A lot of the current slang
Rizz comes close to the top of the list
I don’t hate it, but apparently they have done polls and often the top result is:

Tumescent
biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What the point of this word when it’s so ambiguous.
Twice a time period. Semi for every two time periods. So every two weeks is semiweekely. However it gets misused so often you almost always have to check making it almost useless.
Similar to failsafe vs redundant.
Frustratingly enough, it’s the other way around. Biweekly is every two weeks, semi weekly is two times a week.
I remember it like this:
- bicycles are two circles, biweekly is two weeks
- semicircles are half a circle, semiweekly is half a week
But yes, people use the words interchangeably so often that it’s faster just to avoid the problem altogether and just say “every two weeks”.
Blah got it backwards. Back to coffee for me.
In the UK we have the word “fortnight” for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that “biannual” mean twice a year and “biennial” means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
“y’all” its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words “academic incest” which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
As an intellectual from The South, I’m taking it back. Y’all is a missing part of speech in the English language and follows known patterns. I use it with pride.
However, saying that out loud I realize I have opened myself up to w’all and will have to give that a try.
“All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?”
Al’ay’allo’ghtn’t’ve’ny’hear?
Do you say can’t or can not?
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
