"Stories" is one that I've been seeing pop up a lot lately, like the "black stories" section that now pervades every streaming service or the people in advertisements saying something along the lines of "tell your story." It's boring, annoying woke corpo speech.

They have to say "stories" but the made up shit they write can't be called "truth."

"The science is settled!" - a bullshit term designed to shut down debate that goes right out the window if you remind them that "settled science" declared gays\trannies to be mentally unbalanced not all that too long ago.
 
The term "Conspiracy theory" when it's used by people who can't tolerate differing views really does my head in. Those spouting it are often too lazy to actually debunk the "conspiracy theories" and show any factual evidence.
 
This pride 2021 thing shows what seems to be the aim of Clown World: no love, just identity politics.

And consume product.

Clown World is hell.

I was on some site the other day and in the banner at the top they had a rainbow flag which included the text "Love is love".

What the fuck is that? It's the most meaningless phrase since "Brexit means Brexit".

"Badass". Especially when used to describe a female.
The perfect mashup of the mainstreaming of ghetto/cell-block culture, one-upping hyperbole, and the self-esteem-uber-alles mentality in a single word.

Even worse is when Brits say badass because we don't use ass over here, we use arse, which sounds better in our many accents.

Any Brit saying American words is an reddit NPC to me. Zee, Escalator, Sneakers, Flashlight, Ass, couch.

"Full stop."

It's an even more awkward and pretentious way of saying "period" at the end of a sentence, which is already meaningless and infuriating.

We say full stop, but if someone said Period, instead of "full stop" i would disregard them in the same way you have

Words like "bollocks" don't sound funny without a British accent. When a yank says them, they sound awkward and out of place.

Wanker as well. The worst offender is when a yank pronounces twat, twot. Does my nut in.

Twat is an aggressive word, the 'tw' in the mouth is charged with the 'a' (aaaahhhhh) then the 't' is like a lingual blunt force blow. Twot, just makes peopl sound like a mong

I hate this "British accent means you're smart" meme. It's the only reason John Oliver still has a career.

It's always a cockney, fake cockney or Mockney accent.

You can keep John Oliver. He wasn't funny over here and was pretty much ignored on all circuits, then he did what all failed british comedians do; fucked off to America.

If you want a laugh, look up a fella called Ben Elton, (who wrote Black Adder, Young Ones )

Is cockney the accent where they don't pronounce their T's? The only other English accent I can recognize is Liverpool, because it sounds like Paul McCartney or Wakko Warner.

British obscenities are funny to us because they're largely unfamiliar. Since humor is based on subverting expectations, you can tell when a yank uses them that they're trying too hard to be funny.

Cockney is Ross Kemp, Bricktop from snatch, and anyone inside of London is a Cockney, though the accent varies from Dame Judy Dench (proper Queen's English) to any old slag on Eastenders

FWIW Cheryl Cole is a Geordie. Peaker Blinders are Brummies, Karl Pilkington is a Manc/Manchester and anyone who doesn't pronounce their T's is usually Yorkshire. (Wallace and Gromit)

Oh, trust me: I'm a bloody yank and I've watched every episode of The Young Ones, Bottom, and Blackadder hundreds of times. I'm actually currently binging Blackadder Goes Forth right now.

I should have clarified, (ill edit the post) the laugh is how similar John Oliver and Ben Elton look. To the point that i used to think "Ben Elton has aged well. What a prick for going state-side and changing his name. Cunt"

Then i saw John Oliver on an episode of 'Mock the week' and it all clicked.

On Topic:

Yeet is a stupid word.
On Fleek is a stupid saying, though i have no idea what it means.

People, typically soyboys, talking about their wife/girlfriend/whatever in a completely awkward and stilted way so as not to offend the "nonbinaries" or any of the other retards with made up genderspecial identities. I'm sure others do it, but it's been soy heterosexuals I've seen do it most.

Like the guy goes to introduce his wife and says something like:

"I'd like you to meet my partner, Susan, they are my spouse, and I love them."

Or something equally weird sounding. With neither of them being troons or anything either. They just awkwardly insist on referring to their wife in completely genderless terms, special they/them bullshit, and always as a partner or a spouse.

I've seen it written out, but I've also heard a few youtubers actually say it out loud. Sounded like the guy was awkwardly describing a crowd or something but he was really just mentioning his girlfriend.

I watched this video a while back (where the narrator uses "lady I live with" exclusively) and found it real distracting. Otherwise it was a good video, just use normal English dammit

I've never been to England, but I'm able to distinguish a variety of English dialects due to the media I consume -- mainly music. For instance, I know what Geordies sound like due to hearing Eric Burdon of The Animals and Brian Johnson of AC/DC. I know what Brummies sound like from Robert Plant, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and of course Ozzy Osbourne. And then the obvious ones are Scouse like The Beatles, then London accents like The Rolling Stones and The Who -- but I also know what Yorkshire accents sound like from Joe Elliott of Def Leppard.
 
One that’s really caught on, that I can’t stand, is when people refer to fans, or liking something a lot as
stans.
Pretty sure it’s not going away anytime soon, but it’s endlessly annoying.

Also, when people really “feel” something & call it “kin” or “comfort character” that’s stupid as fuck.

Simp is a dumb way to say someone likes something, & is overused, too.

Unfortunately, we are likely stuck w/ these stupid words for a while, it seems.
Really hoping stan, simp, & kin (especially when someone calls liking something a lot kinning) fall out of popular use, sooner than later.

Someone created this pic sometime between June of last year & this year, & it really clarifies the desires of the ID Pol/ gender identity religious people:

English accents all sound pretty much alike. They like to autistically break down teeny tiny details, but really you've got fag shading into Scottish as you move North and fag shading into Pirate as you move West.

This is why Lindybeige sounds like a gay Scotsman, and Paul McCartney sounds like a butt pirate.

I think everyone can agree that "Juneteeth" is a fucking terrible name for a holiday because it tells you literally nothing about it. Shows that's it only exists for idpol and virtue signaling.
 
Juneteenth has been around forever, and the name sucks because black people aren't any smarter in Texas than they are anywhere else.

If the Idpol aspect of Juneteenth suddenly being everywhere bothers you, may I suggest you adopt San Jacinto day traditions? On April 21st of each year, gather together and kill Mexicans in their sleep.
