“They” as a singular pronoun has started becoming so commonly used that people are using it for animals. It’s ducking infuriating because “it” was already right there and functioned just fine on top of the fact “they” already gets pushed because it conveys no actual information.

And now you understand how I felt about "they" being used like that. It sounds so wrong to me, yet they don't stop. I hate to think what my teachers of 40 years back would think of that.

Where the hell did this come from? What is wrong with people. I have been hearing this a lot more in the last few months.

Jim Breuer was on the Joe Rogan podcast the other day and he did this while telling a story, so it's not just zoomers and millennials, it's older people, too. Seriously, what is this? Just another weird social contagion? Are everyone's brains broken by living through 2020 and nobody knows how to grammar anymore?
 
It's probably been mentioned, but I see this one a fucking lot on reddit:

"Chat am i/this thing cooked"
"Chat is this real"
"Chat should I do this"

If you do this, I hate you, and you should die.
 
talking point

In a soy way like "far right talking point" or "right wing talking point" -- implication being such are automatically "wrong" because it's dissent from the "woke" narrative.

Examples of such "talking points": "ID should be shown to vote to prevent election fraud", "illegal migrants should be deported", etc.

Liberals are so fragile they need their fake identities stroked at all times. Trannies need you to constantly reaffirm their cosplay. They'd have an aneurism back in the day with the all encompassing "he"

It also serves the extremely weasely purpose of allowing journos to avoid quoting someone and encouraging their readers to assume the worst. Like if they say "Mr. ABC, who has come under fire for spreading far right talking points..." That can mean he was saying anything from "we need to round all the Jews up and send them to concentration camps," to "men cannot be women."

The word "misinformation" also irks me. None of these normies who use it had ever heard of the term prior to 2020, much less it's very specific definition within conspiracy circles. The media handed it to them and oversaturated covid discussion with that word, and now it's unfortunately ingrained itself into the normies vocabulary. Any time someone is wrong or mistaken about something, it's misinformation. By far the worst usage of it is when I see someone apologizing for "spreading misinformation" when they make a mistake. I can't think of any specifics off the top of my head, but I'd see it a lot on Reddit a few years ago. Someone would make a mathematical error in, say, item drop rates in some inconsequential video game, and when someone corrects them, they'd say "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spread misinformation."

Godawful mix of pre-programmed, media-given vocab + sounds intelligent and verbose to normies + association with leftoids

Like I said, it's always, always, always endless mind games and manipulation with the "woke" cult. The goal seems to be to demoralize you and bullshit you into becoming SJW.

"misinformation"

Around the time of the coof and all those George Floyd riots was when they really started cracking down on "wrongthink", when "misinformation" and "fake news" went in vogue.
 
"Grape" this
"Grape" that

Can't stand this anymore. Holy shit, those miserable cunts have such a limited vocabulary that they can't use euphemisms?

Troony newspeak

The morrowind modding scene is getting full of troons. There's one modder in particular that uses "they" for EVERY fucking pronoum use. You read a note from one of his mods and it goes something like this: "They told me that they might be worried that they'll get confused by their demands"

They WHO you spastic retard? Everyone in your writing is "they" so i don't know WHAT you're talking about!

So people called him out, and the troons swarmed in, with smug comments implying people that complained didn't understand the english language. You bet your HRT rotted out asshole that i'm not understanding, because you made it confusing

Gimme my hats, because i'm MAD
 
I've been noticing people that use the fuck out of LLMs start to talk like the LLMs at work which has been kind of amusing. Referring to a nice solution to a problem as "the golden <thing>," referring to a potential source of a problem as "the smoking gun," referring to a process that takes precedence over another process as "the source of truth," etc. If you've ever had a lazy day throwing some computer-related bullshit into an AI trying to get it to work then you have definitely seen these phrases before.

I think the gayest shit I've ever heard an AI say was when it referred to a batch of parallel processes as a "fleet" so I look forward to hearing that in a meeting next. These things are going to be cultural poison in a couple years. They already are but you get what I mean.

That reminds me...

bodies

Despite all the delusional "woke" REEing against perceived "objectification" and "dehumanization", SJWs sure like throwing the term "bodies" around describing living people.

(example: "bBlack bodies")

Foid, vaginoid, femcel, tradwife, etc anything that reduces women to a stereotype. People using terms like this need chemical castration for everyone's safety lest they assault a woman one day

Foid has become a term of endearment strangely with the people I see on Twitter. Sometimes.
I've never heard the term vaginoid.
Femcel is mostly from attention addicted women describing themselves.
Tradwife is a term used by liberals to chimp like a sheboon at any normal (read: not liberal) woman who wants to live a more traditional lifestyle.
