I could go the rest of my life without hearing yet another relatively trivial thing / event described as "Amaaaazing!"

Me thinks the thread starter might not like somewhat archaic, and though lesser used, still in current use words. I wonder if he had any difficulties reading Shakespeare in English class.

Would it bother you if someone said, "I haven't eaten in a while, I could sure use some Ciao!", "It was one of those puffy-lion dogs with a black tongue, I think they call it a Ciao Ciao.", "She fell back into a pile of lawn clippings, so she had a Gracias." or "A Mexican family moved into the neighborhood, the Gracias live across the street."?

That reminds of a rerun of Sanforde & Son, Fred goes outside and is greeted by his Puerto Rican neighbor.
"Buenos días, Señor Sanforde!"
"Beans & disease to you too, Julio."

For me it's the phrase "it is what it is". It's being lazy and not wanting to look at the reason why a thing or situation is messed up.

Steam. Streaming. Cloud.

I fucking hate 'em. They are the cancer of digital world.

"lifestyle", when used to refer to an innate characteristic of a person. The most common instance of this is "gay lifestyle".

Not singular words that I can think of, but rather certain combinations. To be more succinct the myriad of "open-world sandbox rougelike/rougelite" games. Suggesting big open world free exploration with bam-dead-gameover-restart is so annoying it besmirchs what little intellect I still have.


;)

I've never heard of that, but let me guess: someone's just gone shopping for stuff that they're super-hyped about, so they just have to make a video showing everyone their "haul".
That, or it's a sex thing. If it is, please just let me go on thinking it's the other thing. :P

That's another good one: "rouge", when "rogue" is what's meant. ;)

By extension, "community", when used of a broad category of people. "The African-American community", "the LGBT community", et cetera. As if all people of said group know one another, or are collected in one geographic area.

And now that I think of it, the "L" in "LGBT" is utterly redundant. :)

Or linked by similar socio-political issues.

I know a few L's that would disagree with you.

I dislike illegitimately constructed words, especially those fabricated as social labels. A prime example would be any -phobe or -phobia words that do not denote a real irrational fear.

I dislike slang terms that have overshadowed their respective legitimate meanings.

As for people that sprinkle foreign words in their English, they are only following an age-old example that led to the creation of the English language as we now know it. English is an amalgam of words from many different languages. :)

Is N***er really commonly used in modern culture apart from certain genres of American rap music? And supposedly it's used there in an "own the insult" way.
Agree with most of your post. "Islamophobia" is especially bad imo, since it seeks to delegitimize criticism of an ideology.

My Uncle uses it 100 times a day.

The guy who used to run the local post office said it all the time but since his retirement he has softened a bit and now usually just uses the term "Porch Monkey".

Donald Trump probably has it as his ATM pass code.

Damn, I was so sure I had it right this time. *sigh*

Yeah, but is your uncle culturally influential? He doesn't produce movies or video clips, does he? Maybe I didn't express myself clearly enough, no doubt it's a word still used by many people, but it doesn't really come up in movies etc. except when it's explicitly about racism, or in certain kinds of rap music. And there are even occasionally demands to expunge it from novels like Huckleberry Finn, so it seems more like it's an extremely tabooized word.
But that's just my impression...may be totally wrong. And in any case I don't want to start a flame war.

My uncle couldn't spell "culturally influential". :P
