Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
I’m so fucking tired of the word “cringe” lately.
biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What’s the point of this word when it’s so ambiguous.
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.
Broth.
I hate that word. To be clear, I have no ethical, cultural or culinary objection to broth, but it’s an awful word to say. You have to empty your lungs to say it, it just sounds like your belching, there’s no standout syllable to emphasise, in fact, is it actually monosyllabic or not? Bro-ffff? Utter horseshit. From now on, it’s Thick Soup.
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.
“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.
Do you say can’t or can not?
“All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?”
Al’ay’allo’ghtn’t’ve’ny’hear?
When people call sex “breeding”.
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
I’d say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious
I’m not typically one to kink shame, but that’s just creepy.
It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through “Puritanical thingy”. Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]

Did you look them up? That’s basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.
I had to as I am not (like veeeerrry far away) familiar at all with any mainstream US churches phrases. At least, I have learnt something new
I uh… I’m not sure what your source is, but for mine ‘breeding’ is anything but “only for procreation”
E: in case it isn’t painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes :p
that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.
It kinda depends on context.
A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.
An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.
Apparently it’s urban slang.
Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.

I’m in a rural area of a red state.
It really sucks here.
Ouch, sorry, my condolences
Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand 🤷
Hmm… I like that, sorry. But, there is a little history behind that word.
An alcoholic mixed drink, and derived senses you will need to scroll down a bit to get to the alcoholic drink part.
A peacock’s tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.
A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.
I don’t really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.
Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn’t actually known and my interpretation isn’t even in the running, but I’m saving this anyway because it’s amusing.
I’ll also take your definition. It sounds good and if there’s not a known origin, it could be true
Tumescent
Trump.
I will never speak it again.
The Cheeto
The Annoying Orange.
Orange Mussolini
Can’t pick just one so here’re a couple.
“Crypto” used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. “AI”, referring only to LLMs. “Research”, referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase “do your own research” that’s being bandied around in some communities.
“AI”, referring only to LLMs.
Yeah, it’s annoying because there are a lot of legit image recognition and pattern matching applications in my work field, and I need to ask for clarification every time someone says “AI”.
Like, is this actually useful, or do you mean “we asked ChatGPT to generate you 20% nonsense”?
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)
Trump
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…?”
😏
