Thread: What words do you hate now because they're so overused?

There's a whole lot I can list here but I'm sure you guys can do it.

All of them.

Anyone who uses the words "triggered" or "problematic" is not someone I wish to associate with. This is good, because it makes it easy to filter out people who might be "triggered" by my "problematic" behavior.

Words like "Being a Gentlemen" and "Women love Nice Guys".

Those two words are bullshit! If women aren't being a "graceful lady" today and are whores, why would I be a gentlemen in this day and age??? That crap makes no sense.

Another thing, women claimed that they love "NICE GUYS", yet they sleep with and give their virgins holes to bad boys. I see this all the time. Especially with Christian women. Christian women don't date nice guys. And when they do, it's all "NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE".

Because Christian women (and all women of course) lost her first love, and don't say it's Jesus. So now, she has to date low status guys she would never consider in the first place.

So, count me out! All Women today are hypocrites

All the "cool" words that everybody starts saying. Fam, fire, cap, lit, sus...crap like that. I get a chill from the corniness when I hear them.

A couple of words I see on article headlines that are annoying as hell: "speechless" and "shocking."
Funny thing, nothing in any of these articles is either.

When someone feels the need to tell you their honest, it usually means they are not.

"You pay her to leave."

There are a lot of overused terms I hate and the people who use the following words think we are all like this:

Racist
Sexist
Gender fluid
Transgender
Transphobic
LOL
Triggered
Offensive
Offended

No joke folks, I went to work as a temp contractor for a previous (Large Academic Institution) employer.

On an entire seperate page there was "Choose your sexuality" from among 10 choices. I should have scanned it for the LOLs, I don't remember but it was like

Heterosexual
Homosexual
Asexual
Hemisexual
Demisexual
Quasisexual
Pansexual
Twospirit
Polysexual

I don't even know what Hemisexual means. Is that you only get horny when the moon is waxing gibbous or something?

I'm curious.. was that a required question?

"As a potential employee, please tell us who arouses you."

A Hemi V8 isn't really sexual to me, it might be for some...

Urban Dictionary: hemisexual

"Diversity" it seems to only apply to European populated/founded countries meanwhile you see a video of China or India etc and everyone looks the same. That seems to be fine.
"Empowerment" connected with Feminism women's sense of themselves and their demands.
"Racism" my fave story is from work where an Australian born Indian guy was invited to eat with the Indian born guys. This guy was brought up in Australia and made the comment "Indian food stinks" the Indian guys immediately went into "That's racist" mode. It's not racist to not like another cultures cuisine and this guy was Indian anyway.
"Gender fluid" ewwwww keep your fluids away from me!
"We need to have a discussion" this generally means that the person wanting the discussion will talk at the person and not allow that person to respond. And if they do manage to get a word in they will be howled down viscously and accused of some kind of ism.
"Homophobic" You can't just add things together and expect them to mean what you want them to. Homo means the same, it means "man". Phobia means fear. A homophobic would be scared of men. See the word Homicide as an example. It does not mean when you kill a homosexual, it means when you kill a human.
"Social Justice" it seems to only be for a select few. Fair divorce settlements? NO! The media not treating those accused of rape etc as guilty before trial? NO! DNA testing before the man has to pay to raise a child that might not be his? NO!

In fairness, I think not. But really, it was the W-2, a page or two of generic routine employment junk, and 10 pages of fluff stuff about commitment to DIE, Race/Gender, and Sexuality.

Socialism, equality, tolerance

Add Islamophobic, antisemitic, "educate yourself", nazi, problematic, and we're getting there.

The first one pisses me off to no end. Apparently only white countries need diversity, and when you mention that on sites, you're worse than Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined. It's fucking pathetic and I HATE it.

Well, why didn't you list a few to get the ball rolling?

What words do you hate?

Alright sure. Here's a couple.

Empathy
Compassion

Because of how often they're used as shaming tactics in situations that don't need them.

"Indigenous" why does this term not apply to the white people of Europe? Why does it only apply to non whites, many of whom weren't the original inhabitants anyway as they wiped out the people who were there before them.
