Are they trying to engineer language to silence the people criticizing rapeugees?

We're Canada so yes. Half of our national identity at this point is engineering language and trying to silence people from criticizing anything that the CBC would promote.
 
Companies with abbreviated, misspelled, or made-up words for names. Examples:

"It's almost like".
I see it all the time and I find it really irritating. It's smarmy at best.

"Haven't seen this in a minute. "Been a minute since I saw this." This one annoys me more than it has a right to. Just say "a while" instead, "a minute" is too specific and it just makes you sound ike you're trying too hard.

When I first saw this I thought it was a typo, then I started hearing it on YouTube. Terrible.
 
zooted:
(adjective)
1. To be so f*cked up beyond belief.
2. Very intoxicated/high.

Zooted comes from the English language, specifically, from the words zoo and the suffix ed. Zoo refers to a zoo or animals, for its part, the ending ed is a genitive, that is, it is added to indicate the execution of an action. Thus, zooted would literally be to be in an “animal or zoo-like state”.

Not only is this a stupid, nonsensical-sounding bit of babble, but this word has some additional connotations that are unpleasant to think about. Most of the people I hear use it just as a synonym for "high" but I'd never want to describe myself as "tranquilized, sedated, and caged, like a zoo animal".
 
"woke". it's misused by the people who call themselves it, and by the right wingers complaining about them. Cancel culture is similarly bad, what state do we have to be in as a society where conservatives are appropriating Kpop stan slang.

two words you see all the time in the online right or on misc forums: "cope" and "cringe". you're making fun of people who are able to cope well, meanwhile you cringe in pain and feel ill at things you don't agree with. how is that an own?

edit how could I forget "gender affirming". it's so sinister how this has been weaved into the modern lexicon. basically when you say this you're doing a passive-aggressive "who hurt you sweaty" thing implying that this was always their real gender and you're just affirming what we already knew. so disgusting.

You get the gist. Oh, and any term used to replace "woman" and anything that has to do with womanhood. Because saying "female penis" and "ladydick" is ok but you have to say "front hole" instead of "vagina" or those fucking idiots get triggered.

"Birthing person" makes me more than cringe, it makes my insides collapse.

Yeah! There's a Spanish equivalent for that term. What depresses me is that women accept those new words so gladly, like "vagina people". Try calling a man "penis person", see how he either laughs in your face or punches it.

Don't forget its brother, "anyone would think." Bonus points if it's preceded by "Oh, gee..."

Sneed is like the Family Guy of memes. Some people love it, everyone else hates it and thinks it's dumb. There's no middle ground.
