I'm sick of hearing the word 'incredible' thrown around willy-nilly.
It also grinds my gears when people say 'nucular'.
nu cu lar: (adjective) Relating to the "nuculus" of an atom.
This is a facetious post, of course. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A "NUCULUS"!!
I can't stand the word "awesome" and never use it.
It sounds like one is too stupid to come up with a better descriptive.
Absolutely.
When something is absolute it means literally just that. Saying that you’re absolutely freezing or that a missed goal is an absolute catastrophe is a load of honk and drives me nuts :P
Yeah that's my problem with 'incredible. People seem to have no idea what it actually means but they throw it around when even a vaguely interesting thing happens.
shareYeah, I completely agree. It’s exaggerated rhetoric for something that is undeserving of it half the time. The literal meaning of these words have apparently been lost through overuse.

Seems like there is a segment of the population so desperate to signal (probably another one of those words) what side of the cultural divide they are on, they choose to parrot these words until everyone is sick of hearing it. I will listen with a lot more interest to people genuinely expressing themselves rather than echo what everyone else is spewing.

"New Normal" and "Life will Never be the Same". To that I say life will return to normal and I'm not living the rest of my life as a paranoid germaphobe just because a small percentage of people think I'm supposed to care about them by doing the same thing they do.

I say 'physical distancing'.
Why does even an effort to reduce the spread of disease have to try to align with internet crapspeak?
As an introvert I've always been socially distant.
I got off of antidepressant meds in January and will never say that term. It needs to be banned when the COVID hysteria is over. It's normalizing behavior that drove me crazy and as a society we are going to go from one health problem to another when all the mental health services get overrun in the months and years ahead.
