Wont lie, I feel like a fair part of this thread is just the usual circlejerking and petty complaints that we're trying to avoid here, feeding into in rather than avoiding it.

...There's a whole little subchapter in Stephen King's book on writing about all of the phrases he hates. Me, I've grown accustomed enough to English to realize I get pissed off at basically every coined term and set phrase in the language. I hate my own writing, and I cringe at it.
But "cringe" too, I think is also an expression of this same sort of collective dead-end that prevents proper communication in the language. To describe any part of the depths of human experience as "cringe" is a linguistic form of self-suicide. There is no cringe. It's not in the Bible nor is it an evolutionary necessity. It's language expressing the senseless. Like I read this too,

and it's usage here "pisses me off".
(dont take this the wrong way, it's not you it's me, but)
the way you begin the sentence with "Oh man," here "pisses me off";
and the way you follow "cringe" with "self-cringe", and the very act of comparing them with "like" here "pisses me off";
and the way you say "really used to like these" here "pisses me off";
and the way you say "really used to like these" here "pisses me off";
and the way you say "really used to like these" here "pisses me off".
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not pissed off at you (really, please, try not to take this post too seriously lol) but I'm pissed off at the limit to which things tend to be expressed. Is that not what everyone else ITT is doing as well?

...And even the verbal use of "to piss off" is I think a poor usage of words, and I realize that it describes something that doesn't exist. My emotions are conforming to the set phrase "piss off", rather than using a combination of words to express the unique and fleeting response that I should be feeling in reaction to this if I were not constrained by linguistic entropy.
Honestly I could complain about this with enough posts to exhaust the entirety of the Library of Babel, but I realize how hypocritical that is.

Basically, that's my crankpost for today, and what I'm trying to get at here is that everyone should learn French or stop posting online
The way CureDolly-sensei teaches Japanese broke my ability to enjoy English communication

cringe post bruv.

 

[llillilll]

cringe post bruv.

I add "cringe post bruv." to the phrases that piss me off.

 

[turntableToothache]

I hate every phrase in the English language that is repeated more than once. Wouldn't it all be easier if people stopped using words and phrases all together and we returned to speaking like cavemen? Bring back unga-bunga speak.

 

[Aeria Gloris]

When english speakers use "like" between every word of their sentences. It may be pardoned if it is not your first language but otherwise you should grab a book and learn how to speak like a properly educated individual.

When english speakers use "like" between every word of their sentences. It may be pardoned if it is not your first language but otherwise you should grab a book and learn how to speak like a properly educated individual.

On the contrary, only those who are deeply entrenched in 90s culture appreciate the sophistication of saying "like" every other word, largely thanks to this iconic TV show / movie:

I tried to go to my local gameshop to play some tabletop after a couple of friends moved away.

Never again.

I think a few people in this thread will enjoy this comic of Shmorky watching an old movie by himself

Fuck me, he can't even pass in comic form.

Fuck me, he can't even pass in comic form.

I don't know who he is, but personally I just thought this was a girl drawing herself in that ugly 'relatable comics' style.

"Wow, she looks weird... Well, these comics are just like that."

Well that's how it works.

I can't stand the self-censoring everyone younger than 20 does now when writing about anything potentially offensive online. "R*pe," "g@y," "seggs," "unalive," etc. It's one thing to talk like that when you're on a platform that will ban you for saying the real version of any of those words, but people will continue to type that way even when there's no danger of being censored. It's practically part of the zoomer dialect now. If there were a way to pronounce asterisks and dollar signs orally they would do it in real life too.

I actually don't mind 'unalive' so much, but only because 'suicide' is latin. The native terms 'kill myself' or even 'selfquell' are much preferred, of course.

Unalive is the stupidest thing I've heard. The mafia spent ages coming up with creative ways to say "killed" and you zoomers all just ignore it.These kids need to go watch the Monty Python parrot sketch and get some fucking creativity while they're at it. It makes me want to put on a pair of cement shoes and go sleep with the fishies.

To think this all happened because of self censoring on social media for monetization and dumbshit zoomers not knowing and just adding it to their vernacular.

As for me I can't stand anything regarding "democracy", this word is so worn out it doesn't mean anything anymore. "This is extremely dangerous to our democracy", "protecting democracy" just shut up.

I've also been trying to rid the words "literally, like, actually, genuinely" from my vocabulary.
