Thank for the use of “cromulent.” Around these here parts, it’s downright iconic.

People are over using cringe to just mean “things they don’t like”.
Glad to see the 90s are back with Hack.

I’m very glad that cromulent didn’t make their banned words list. It would have been quite cringe worthy for it to have been dissed so soon after finally being added to the dictionary.

It embiggens me to hear that.

This list is totally the rizz. I’m getting cheugy with it.
Why yes, I am now of an age where I’ve reached my “don’t know, don’t want to know” era of my understanding of popular slang, why do you ask? Also, I find everything is funnier if I don’t understand any current slang terms.

I think the whole cringe-worthy just reminds me of:

Wiktionary lists a couple hundred “-worthy” words (mostly without hyphens).
Interesting that fapworthy and vomworthy are on this list but not punchworthy, as in “Most Nazis are punchworthy.”

So many nominees; my current peeves include “creepy” (ridiculously overused) and “uncanny valley” (rarely used correctly). But what really gets my shoulders up around my ears are “Not gonna lie…” (I didn’t assume you were, and how do I know you’re not anyway) and “pod,” as in “Subscribe to the pod!” Blechh. It’s not a fucking “pod.” It’s either a “podcast” or an “episode.” “Broadcasts” aren’t “broads.” The “pod” is on my side, the “cast” is on yours. I can’t subscribe to my own thing.
LSSU, help me out over here.

Am I permitted to yeet ‘pivot’ into the next decade? It got beaten to death during COVID and was constantly used where I work to mean 'We don’t know what’s going to happen next or how soon, so we have to be ready to change instantly."

I don’t get this one. It seems to be exclusively used before stating an opinion. I mean, yeah…obviously. Why would you lie about your opinion about whatever? Are you saying you’re “authentic?” Maybe just be authentic instead of stating it, then. I feel like there must be a point to the phrase that I’m missing.

I hear it like Honestly, [or] To tell the truth,
Which yeah, both make me think, So you were lying just now?
But then, people do sometimes say I’m too literal.

For those not into the whole brevity thing. I guess it’s just a matter of preference, then. I honestly can’t say that I don’t preface a statement with “honestly” from time-to-time. And I use it just like I was complaining about above. Honestly, sometimes I wonder about me. Thank you for the clarity!

You’re welcome!
Oops, being too literal again.

- At the end of the day — “The phrase is often employed as a rhetorical device that attempts to encapsulate the complexities of a situation summarily, lacking nuance and depth.”
When all is said and done, should we also then ban “When all is said and done”?
