Enshitification

I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
"Lawfare" meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
"Disinformatsiya" or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
"Sanewashing" to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it's a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about "sanewashsing" and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren't exactly the fucking same as Trump.
βNot meβ doing something.
Just say youβre doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that youβre doing it.
So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes "Period." after they make a point to mean "this can't be argued" or whatever. My good bitch, I don't think you understand how arguing works. π
"Full stop" is a close second.
"Folks" makes my skin crawl. I feel like it's used to make someone appear friendlier while saying "you people", in the context of being manipulated by someone with power.
Not a term, but a lack thereof:
People I have to regularly interact with for work have been excluding "to be", especially with "needs", and it's infuriating.
This issue needs escalated. That report needs fleshed out. Let me know if anything needs cleared up.
Those sound so wrong
"Irregardless"
"Solidarity" as it's too often used to make others do things you want.
People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"
I didn't do no nothing wrong now, didn't I?
You don't deserve your existence
I'm afraid to say I kind of like that, although don't particularly use it much.
Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
"I could care less" to mean "I could NOT care less"
Thing is... this sort of makes sense if you say it with a hint of sarcasm. But curiously the only people that use this phrase are Americans. And we all know how much they understand sarcasm π€£.
This exactly! I always get so confused when people say that.
When people say 'like' constantly between sentences or sentence fragments or before every adjective.
