What new slang words do you dislike?

I wouldn't mind gaslighting if people only used it where it applied.
This. The concept is an important one but people hust use it to mean "you've disagreed with me, or interrupted my own gaslighting."

There are many popular pseudo-psychological terms in this vein these days. Terms that seem to be misused: Toxic, boundaries, narcissist, triggering, etc.
 
I always see a great future when 2 teenage girls say to each other "take care of you" when they say goodbye...... Probably already got their OF accounts sorted........

Someone made a gaslighting thread here about their ex wife and boss.

I tried to explain this wasn't gaslighting after reading the examples. It was a couple seeing their failed relationship differently (as in each other's fault) and his boss not trusting what he says.

People agreed with him though.
 
Oh I forgot one: "for a minute."

Apparently this is not that old, but the first time I heard it was from Dana White discussing an injury of a fighter. He says it a couple times and I'm thinking the injury isnt that bad cuz he said MINUTE.

If it means a while then say: "FOR A WHILE."
 
Ive seen in a couple YouTube videos, ppl say this is gas which sounds gay as fuck
 
I cant stand the word ' dope' as in something cool.
You sound dope-y saying that dumb shit
 
Swag but that died 15 years ago, so I guess down/bad I mistook it as down/back hoping it was a fighting game reference for charge characters but I was dead wrong.
 
Fax
Fire
Slaps
Right
Leggo

And probably more. Every generation has their new slang and it's all pretty cringy, some sticks and most goes away but it's all very "bandwagon-y" and herdlike.

*Edit: oh jesus christ, I just read @Stoic1 above post and "no cap" might be the worst of them all... It's beyond stupid, and anyone who says it unironically should really be embarrassed

Fixed lol
 
It feels like a lot of new slang is just made up shot that sounds funny to some people, glizzy, rizz, etc.; shit at least when Snoop Dog and certain parts of black and hip hop culture was adding double z's to words they were just normal words with the z's replacing something in them (like televizzle instead of television), I mean it was dumb but at least made a modicum of sense.
I don't really get too annoyed by it, it just comes off as dumb, there's worse shit like the whole "demure" thing among young women.
