Can’t or won’t. Take your pick.

With some specific exceptions, for me. If you are one, and you aren't using it against others, it's fine. Like storytelling and describing a conversation, or just even being playful about it. Maybe being at a store with some friends looking at clothes or something, describing yourself and how something looks perhaps? Totally fine in my book. That's our term, we should be able to reclaim it for ourselves.
But someone else who I don't know and can't immediately determine the meaning/context that uses it? Bitch you about to die.
I don't know. I think reclaiming slurs can be a good thing, (queer, for example), but that one is inherently violent and I always feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Like, there's a reason you didn't write it out in your comment.

Cocktail… it sounds stupid as a word to describe an alcoholic drink. Maybe it’s because I’m not a drinker and I just don’t understand
A peacock's tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.
A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.
I don't really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.
Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn't actually known and my interpretation isn't even in the running, but I'm saving this anyway because it's amusing.

Fair. I didn't type it since I don't want to be that guy like 'you mean [word]'. It's very context sensitive yeah, but I think it's okay in the right moment.

"literally" and "like"
...because it's literally used like every two words
Ohh poor "like".... I must admit I use it a lot. Practical word.

The F word that means "a bundle of sticks" used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.
I do agree. That word is harsh to see, to hear. I have never liked it. Even between gays, I don't use it at all.

"Walkie-Talkie"
Its a "Handheld Transceiver" ffs, who the fuck gave it such a stupid name lmfao
Is a Telephone a "Chit-y-Chat-y"? A computer a "Beep-ie-Boop-ie"?
If you want to go deeper about that word:
The earliest known use of the noun walkie-talkie is in the 1930s.
OED's earliest evidence for walkie-talkie is from 1939, in the San Antonio Express-News (San Antonio, Texas).

Hmm... I like that, sorry. But, there is a little history behind that word.
An alcoholic mixed drink, and derived senses you will need to scroll down a bit to get to the alcoholic drink part.

When people call sex "breeding".
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through "Puritanical thingy". Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans

biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What's the point of this word when it's so ambiguous.

"y'all" its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words "academic incest" which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.

I uh... I'm not sure what your source is, but for mine 'breeding' is anything but "only for procreation"
E: in case it isn't painfully obvious, I am le gay, so that may factor into your source woes
that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.

In the UK we have the word "fortnight" for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that "biannual" mean twice a year and "biennial" means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
