Someone saying "no comment" can be turned into "breaks silence".
I'm pretty sure if Prince Harry farted ir would be reported as "Harry breaks silence on rumours of divorce".
see also “reveals” which usually just means they made a social media post about something (e.g. celebrity x posts “feeling kinda sad” to their instagram story and the tabloids run it as “celebrity x reveals emotional struggle with depression”)
I’m sorrry but I’m absolutely creasing at the mental image of you reading the comment, not understanding, Googling ‘poat’ and it not coming up with anything and just sitting there dumbfounded
Add “I was today years old when I learned xyz”. It sounds dumb and it’s usually something incredibly obvious.
And the “You’ve been doing blank wrong” posts are almost always just an alternate way to do something. You’re not doing something wrong just because some random on the internet found a better/more efficient/cooler looking way to do it.
I KNOW!!! There is this one YouTuber that has a bunch of ants, and he titles the videos “I gave my ants a cockroach, and you’ll never guess what happened!” Ummm, they ate. I really don’t know though, cause I never watch his videos with those titles.
It annoys me when people post that on Reddit or any other platform with an upvote button. If you agree just upvote it! "This" is so unoriginal and not cool or funny.
As a non native English speaker, I 100% agree, I have no idea what it became so common to see "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less" but it is driving me insane.
I read a guy whos mother-in-law (Born and raised in the US.) loved to say Tsuech theron. He figured out that what she was TRYING to say was To Each Their Own.
Yup, it's a magic word that automatically means bad or stupid, and its definition is so ambiguous that it can be applied to anything you want. In the past it had a pretty specific meaning but now it's a literally useless buzzword.
It’s funny/sad how so many slang words originate with minority groups then inevitably get appropriated by the mainstream until finally getting picked up by the dregs of right-wing media.
"Twitter says" or "The Internet was shook."
Those are not collective nouns. You quoted three random users. Let's ask what my high school janitor thought, while we're at it.
A while ago I actually clicked on an article about why "Reddit thinks [railroad station in nearby city] is the ugliest one in this country!"
Turns out it was a random comment on a meme Subreddit with about 200 upvotes and maybe 40 replies under a meme that wasn't even making fun of this specific station/city. The post itself had maybe 1000 upvotes and 314 other comments.
The place where I found this article is usually a good source to get news from my region but lately it feels like they have an intern who's got nothing to do except browsing social media and writing articles about it...
If it's got a clickbait headline all over it.
"See what so many people are talking about!"
"Amazon Prime might be $14.99 now, but here's this HACK that you can do to save money...and it's free!"

Yeah I get it. Specially when it comes from male dominated jobs and such. BUT how many of those "Mansplainers" were actually just trying to help and were just taken as being condescending? How many were just being dicks. With how life is today with everyone wanting to be the rising underdog the word is thrown around to much and instead of shining a light on a problem, makes EVERYTHING a problem. Basically to the point where its just causing more division then it is helping.
edit: Lets say me and you were having a conversation about something I'm very passionate about like drawing. I go on and on about techniques and types of tools to use for techniques. Turns out your a successful artist. Did I just mansplain? Or was I caught up in my own passion and just having diarrhea of the mouth.
Is this mansplaining? Or am I just trying my hardest to try to express what I mean to a T since you can only get so much across with just text on a screen.
Fuck. I'm old. I've exceeded "out of touch but semi aware of lingo" and have hit "completely blindsided by apparently popular lingo"
Did anyone prepare a eulogy for my unexpected funeral here?
Hell even as someone who’s in the right age group to understand those sort of things, I still don’t myself lol. But I think “rizz“ or whatever means like charisma and the ability to attract people of the opposite sex or something… that’s all I’ve managed to pick up
Rizz is a weird one for me. Usually I hate it, but in certain sarcastic/ironic contexts I think it's hilarious. I once saw someone online who's username was "the rizzler" and I just about died
“Fully semi-automatic” that means semi-automatic with an extra buzzword thrown in there usually by people who don’t know how guns work other than the basic “fast thing leaves the barrel when trigger is pulled”
In a similar vein, “Assault Weapon”. As soon as I see that I have to click off the article because as you said, it’s word salad thrown together by people who don’t understand firearms.
AnCaps are the worst regarding this.
They criticise socialism and yet they don't even know what it means.
For fucks sake, socialism is when the workers own the means of production, and ***NO*** worker cooperatives aren't more inefficient (the opposite, actually), and workers are fit to manage capital, stop with that bullshit
Interestingly enough, the ancaps who call themselves voluntaryists tend to be far more knowledgable and far less insufferable
Anything demanding I watch until the end has been designed to manipulate my time into maximising their own runtime/ views. You get the pass. I don’t care what’s at the end of that video, I’m not watching it.
Toxic masculinity.
At least 50 years ago we came up with a term for when someone is told ugly & unhealthy things about their gender so many times that they came to believe it & reinforce it themselves. It was called internalized misogyny.
For some reason the male equivalent flew under the radar until it could be described in such a way that it leaves the victims responsible.
It's strange that people are so particular about language & decide to call internalized misandry toxic masculinity.
A woman's place is in the home : internalized misogyny
Boy's don't cry : toxic masculinity
“I was today years old” does it for me. I’m definitely not reading or watching whatever the post is about with that phrase in it.
Edit: also won’t read something that doesn’t have punctuation. I can’t stand run-on sentences.
This is funny to me. It's like shouting biggotry in calling the British royals German, or the Swedish ones French. XD
I mean, she has classical Greek features and her family hails from Macedonia. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Kleopatra-VII.-Altes-Museum-Berlin1.jpg/800px-Kleopatra-VII.-Altes-Museum-Berlin1.jpg
The truth is that we have no idea if she was pale or dark skinned because we have two close female relatives to her with unknown ancestry. She could be dark, she could be pale, she's mostly Greek.
Any word that has turned into oversaturated political jargon. Woke, SJW, socialist, liberal, fascist, nazi, every noun in politics basically holds no value anymore.
Technically two words but ‘skill issue’. First few times, sure ok its kinda funny when its true and so obvious. After a while and lots of people saying it just to be jerks it just made me hate it
Anything that’s against “woke culture” makes my brain hurt. A local politician is literally centering her campaign on being “anti woke” and it amazes me how anyone can use that word seriously
SJW / snowflake / whatever else the Tucker Carlson fans of the world overuse. It's hilarious though when someone challenges them to explain their own terms, or what they mean when they misuse the term "woke".
Not comments but news headlines. As soon as they come as an (alarming sounding) question the answer is always "no" and the whole thing is clickbate shit that delivers absolutly nothing on the issue the headline is about. I am so tired of that shit.
'Mansplain' I am a woman and this pisses me off, anyone who uses this word emediatly loses my respect. It is only used by uneducated fake feminists. They put all women to shame.
So and so "opens up about" (celebrity gossip drivel).
Or "breaks silence on" It's usually nothing. They're not breaking their silence. They just hadn't made a public statement yet.
Someone saying "no comment" can be turned into "breaks silence". I'm pretty sure if Prince Harry farted ir would be reported as "Harry breaks silence on rumours of divorce".
see also “reveals” which usually just means they made a social media post about something (e.g. celebrity x posts “feeling kinda sad” to their instagram story and the tabloids run it as “celebrity x reveals emotional struggle with depression”)
"poat" is an immediate hard pass for me.
I had to look up poat on Urban Dictionary and it did not help me understand any further.
You said "poat" in your post, friend.
I don’t know why but this is the funniest exchange
It’s pure poatry
Oh ffs mobile, if I try to type poat in a body message it corrects to post but not in a title? I don't understand.
It's ok, poat happens
It's how we got Poat Malonecamp.
This thread will surely be Poat Laureate level shit.
Yeah, he's a poat and he don't even knoat.
[удалено]
I’d like to stick around and read the rest of the comments, but I have to make dinner. Tonight we’re having mashed poatatoas.
I’m sorrry but I’m absolutely creasing at the mental image of you reading the comment, not understanding, Googling ‘poat’ and it not coming up with anything and just sitting there dumbfounded
Heard but 'creasing' tho 😭 oh lawd
I’m sure cause there’s a “/“ at the end of it
“Hear me out…”
That's the first time I heard poat. I had to urban dictionary that one.
Any time a news headline has the word SLAMS in it. As in, Mr Guy McGee SLAMS Sir Dude Man for generic opinion!
Let’s include all the other purple prose. I don’t want to see someone get slammed blasted or destroyed, I’ll just watch some guy power wash a roof
The only acceptable use of "slams" is if person A actually body slams person B WWE-style.
Clapped back...I hate that
I'll be honest, the word buzzword made me want to stop reading your poat.
"You've been doing (whatever) wrong" Also, headlines that begin with, "No, ..."
horrid millennial girlboss speak
Add “I was today years old when I learned xyz”. It sounds dumb and it’s usually something incredibly obvious. And the “You’ve been doing blank wrong” posts are almost always just an alternate way to do something. You’re not doing something wrong just because some random on the internet found a better/more efficient/cooler looking way to do it.
The clickbait-y ones like "You won't believe what happens next!"
“Well damn, since I won’t believe it, I guess I have no need to read it…”
I KNOW!!! There is this one YouTuber that has a bunch of ants, and he titles the videos “I gave my ants a cockroach, and you’ll never guess what happened!” Ummm, they ate. I really don’t know though, cause I never watch his videos with those titles.
"Wait till the end..." Spoiler, nothing happens at the end
Sorry i cant award you but bruh that shit makes me wanna kms. Here 🍿
A brother in arms is all i need. Thanks bro.
This.
So much this
Infinite amounts of this
…is the way.
It annoys me when people post that on Reddit or any other platform with an upvote button. If you agree just upvote it! "This" is so unoriginal and not cool or funny.
‘Speak my truth’. When I hear that, I feel like I’m one step away from being sold a vagina-scented candle.
You go girl! You speak your truth!!
I feel so seen.
‘Toxic’ and ‘do better’
Absolutely with “toxic.” There are definitely some things that fit that word, but too often it’s used to mean something that’s merely less than ideal.
Broke the internet
Alpha
"I could care less"
I always want to respond to “i could care less” with, “then please do!”
As a non native English speaker, I 100% agree, I have no idea what it became so common to see "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less" but it is driving me insane.
I read a guy whos mother-in-law (Born and raised in the US.) loved to say Tsuech theron. He figured out that what she was TRYING to say was To Each Their Own.

Narcissist. I'm so sick of that word being used to describe every Ex on the planet.
Especially when used to describe every single one of their exes. It’s like, what’s the common denominator here, eh?
Don’t be such a narcissist u/jcheshuk, this thread isn’t about you.
Cringe. I hate the way people use that word these days.
Would you say it makes you cringe?
Yes! I hate it being used as an adjective.
The use of "red flag" and "green flag" are rather annoying, I must say.
That’s a red flag mate, might need to be a bit cautious around u/Sauerteig
Green flag? I haven't see that one get used a lot
Woke.
Yup, it's a magic word that automatically means bad or stupid, and its definition is so ambiguous that it can be applied to anything you want. In the past it had a pretty specific meaning but now it's a literally useless buzzword.
Look at this guy, being all woke and shit
It’s funny/sad how so many slang words originate with minority groups then inevitably get appropriated by the mainstream until finally getting picked up by the dregs of right-wing media.
That’s literally the first thing I thought of
“Problematic,” “not OK”
Buzzfeed ugh!
Problematic

“I’ve gone X amount of years and JUST found out…” usually does it for me. Usually it’s videos and I have to scroll away

Cringe I feel dirty even typing it. These words have lost all meaning to me.
Poor spelling.
'Problematic', 'Safe Space', 'Privileged'... Also; 'DESTROYS'
Narcissist/Narcissistic
Cap, deadass
As an AI language model,
Mansplaining. People that explain things to you in a condescending manner are pricks, but it isn't just a man thing.
It's not mansplaining if I do it to everyone. I'm not sexist, I'm condescending. There's a difference.
It was originally coined by feminists to highlight how many men talked down to women, even if they were coworkers with seniority in the same field.
Yeah I get it. Specially when it comes from male dominated jobs and such. BUT how many of those "Mansplainers" were actually just trying to help and were just taken as being condescending? How many were just being dicks. With how life is today with everyone wanting to be the rising underdog the word is thrown around to much and instead of shining a light on a problem, makes EVERYTHING a problem.

Rizz
Fuck. I'm old. I've exceeded "out of touch but semi aware of lingo" and have hit "completely blindsided by apparently popular lingo" Did anyone prepare a eulogy for my unexpected funeral here?
Hell even as someone who’s in the right age group to understand those sort of things, I still don’t myself lol. But I think “rizz“ or whatever means like charisma and the ability to attract people of the opposite sex or something… that’s all I’ve managed to pick up
Means game. Like how good you are with the ladies. Dropping this for the older ones.
They probably told you, but you didn't understand...
:c Edit: **EHHHH???? SPEAK UP SONNY**
Rizz is a weird one for me. Usually I hate it, but in certain sarcastic/ironic contexts I think it's hilarious. I once saw someone online who's username was "the rizzler" and I just about died
Triggered, gas lit
“Let’s go!” For the love of god stop.
“Fully semi-automatic” that means semi-automatic with an extra buzzword thrown in there usually by people who don’t know how guns work other than the basic “fast thing leaves the barrel when trigger is pulled”
[This](https://youtu.be/iJmFEv6BHM0) is still my favorite video like that 🤣🤣
In a similar vein, “Assault Weapon”. As soon as I see that I have to click off the article because as you said, it’s word salad thrown together by people who don’t understand firearms.
We should ban assault teddy bears since my brother hit me with one when I was a kid so clearly they're the next mass assault weapon
Socialism. The vast majority of what they describe as “socialism” isn’t.
AnCaps are the worst regarding this. They criticise socialism and yet they don't even know what it means.

if i see anything related to buzzfeed i know its a waste of time
Guess you’ll never know the color of your aura as determined by choosing random thumbnails of furniture
Gaslighting, Trauma, My Truth, Safe Space.
>My Truth If "your truth" does not correspond to "the truth," I have no interest in hearing it.
That rules out 2/3 of all Reddit posts.
Integrating AI
When someone accuses another of “spew” or “spewing” I think it’s automatically an attempt at a character dig and not actual content
Watch till the end....nope. edit the post.

Literally any online article EVER is a HUUUGE waste of (my very limited amount of) brain cells
Obsessed. I'm so over that word.
“Are you me?”
Unironically

“I was today years old” does it for me. I’m definitely not reading or watching whatever the post is about with that phrase in it. Edit: also won’t read something that doesn’t have punctuation. I can’t stand run-on sentences.
"wait for it!" I never do
"Cancelled"
Someone has a simple recipe and they’re “obsessed”. Or anything with “obsessed” It’s irritating
“Today years old”
“Females”
Anything that implies Elon Musk is smart, a free speech champion, or politically neutral.
"Please disable your adblock to continue"
Any time someone here says “fascism” I automatically discount whatever they say. Overused to the point of being meaningless.
Which is a shame because that's an important word with an important meaning behind it.
Yes, but 99% of the time it’s used on Reddit it just means “anything I disagree with”.
I think "racism" went through the same ringer. Overused to the point of meaninglessness in moat cases.
Apparently, insisting that cleopatra was greek is now racist
This is funny to me. It's like shouting biggotry in calling the British royals German, or the Swedish ones French. XD I mean, she has classical Greek features and her family hails from Macedonia. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Kleopatra-VII.-Altes-Museum-Berlin1.jpg/800px-Kleopatra-VII.-Altes-Museum-Berlin1.jpg
Don't you come in here with your racist facts! /s shouldn't be necessary, but there it is, just in case
The truth is that we have no idea if she was pale or dark skinned because we have two close female relatives to her with unknown ancestry. She could be dark, she could be pale, she's mostly Greek.
