To this day I still get infuriated at the trend of people adding "cc" to things.
Like thicc instead of thick etc. Don't know why it pisses me off.

Hard agree. It started out with Succ, which was kinda mildly funny back when I saw it every now and then (Not everywhere like I see it now), but then it started evolving. Like 'hecc'. Out of the three, I think 'hecc' is the most heinous, though.

Autistic as shit, but "surge" is so grating because for some reason it's the go-to word to describe muh increase in daily COVID cases. Never "spike" or anything, ALWAYS "surge". Seriously, plug "COVID - "surge"" into Google news and you'll only get local outlets and the like.

Can we ban ”stop the spread”?

You've had 10 months to stop the spread with lockdown, and you failed.

Use of "Latinx" is an indicator of a white person who doesn't wanna piss off any peeohcee but end up doing it cause it's fucking dumb sounding.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure only 2% of Latinos use it and I have a feeling they're probably American white girls who had a Mexican great grandma so call themselves Latinas to sound cool.

Weirdly enough, the alphabet abbreviation doesn't annoy me nearly as much as "queer" does. Probably because it's basically an obnoxious buzzword now.

Especially when the E's pronounced like ”eh”.

On that note, can we ban doggo speak? Saying ”hecking” or ”pupper” should be punished by having your phone destroyed.
 
"Seethe and dilate" annoys me. No real reason aside from the kneejerk.

As I've said before, it's also fucking wrong. The plural for mixed company in romance languages defaults to masculine. "Latinx" or "Latines" is about as correct as "folx" or "womyn".
Just call my castizo ass latino or hispanic for fuck's sake; anything but that faggotspeak.
 
The word "essential" and the term "front-line workers". I honestly think nurses and all of those in the medical field need to be knocked down a peg or two.

Oddly, "surge" kind of entered the modern vocabulary discussing troop placement in Iraq and Afghanistan. I guess "deployment" was too icky or had some other nasty connotation. At any rate, one of those annoying Bush-isms.

To that bit of COVID-speak ("surge") I would also add

  • " Pause." No, you're fucking CANCELLING or CLOSING that shit.
  • "Guidelines." No, you can go to prison if you don't do what the iron fist in your face demands that you do, Whatever else it is, it is no "guideline."


I've only ever heard that here on KF, which means it is the height of le epic edgy humor, like "troon" or "a-logging." Seriously, though, I personally think it is kind of funny, at least for now. (No clue if any of that actually originated here; I guess I lead a bit of a sheltered existence.)

Six months from now, though...🤔

AFAIK "In minecraft" originates from either /pol/ or the reddit /pol/ knockoffs that got banned en masse earlier this year. And it functioned in the latter community for a long time. So some people may be tired already.

Since I'm technically "essential", I joked with my boss that I'm totally a hero by spending this pandemic watching YouTube and playing Solitaire.
 
People who know better still referring to the COVID faggotry as "the pandemic" without quotes or anything. Cut that shit out.

The term "LGBTQ+" now that they expanded the acronym with other stuff.

Especially since the community is being isolated by the T part and "pansexuals." It feels like being a lesbian, gay or bi is haram if you are not a walking sterotype.

I don't know why or when but when people put pronouns in their Twitter bio or literally everywhere. For an inclusive community, they love to label and categorize themselves.

I really hate the pronouns in the bio trend. Even if they post tons of selfies and it's super obvious they are ciscum natal genders. I really need to know that this super feminine obvious woman is a she/her. Because it's the current year and we don't want to misgender anyone.

It's trendy on Gaia too. But I usually see the normal binary. The ocassional they/them or it nonsense. There's this one whose name I can't remember right now who has some Sora from .hack fanart in their sig along with some nutty neogender stuff. I think it's actually a girl though. Because I remember back when this person was normal. They have been on Gaia for quite a long time.

But the trend is so far dug in now that it seems like the Farms is one of the few places where it's not a thing. At least not unless it's used ironically. I remember back in the late 90s/early 2000s it was trendy to belong to a buch of webcliques that were linked together via a little icon. Usually a symbol, emoticon or pixel art of a character. I never joined those. But I guess it's a lot different to display all your little fandom icons look an early internet weeaboo. At least you aren't sporting a full beard and bear chest but telling the world to call you she/her.
 
I hate seeing Twitter names with obnoxious, usually social justice/leftist political nicknames in them. Examples that I often see include:

  • John "Wash your hands, wear a mask" Doe
  • Jane "Black lives matter" Doe
  • Some "Trans rights are human rights" Troon

We get it, you're a good pod person.
 
Not a term nor infuriating, but what is it with American men not shaving now? Seems like yesterday, clean shave was professional.
