    Any misspoken words, said with full confidence that it is correct.

      I've come to hate "Utilize." It has a decent purpose as "using to the fullest extent," or, "making do with something in a new context."

      Instead, I just hear it as a replacement for "use" when someone wants to sound smart.

          Too many to count. A lot of the current slang

          Rizz comes close to the top of the list

              Slay because my 10 year uses it for everything. Slayalicious, slaytastic, slayme...

              Nag. Just sounds harsh

              Bungalow. Should be obvious.

              People who shorten food names aren't doing English any favors...

                The F word that means "a bundle of sticks" used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.

                    That one I hear so much, I'm afraid it will become the new normal way of pronouncing ask. Definitely bugs me!

                      When people call sex "breeding".

                      It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.

                        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 ๐Ÿ˜›

                          It kinda depends on context.

                          A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.

                          An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.

                            "literally" and "like"

                            ...because it's literally used like every two words

                            Like literally like oh my gawd did you see that basic bitch with last year's iPhone pro max ultra deluxe special edition? I'm totally unfolloeing her on everything

                            it's literally the day after the release of the new model

                                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.

                                  Apparently it's urban slang.

                                  Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.

                                    Dude I'd hate to live life through your lense. It has nothing to do with misogyny, if anything it's the opposite. It's a word usually used by people without children to mildly-insultingly refer to people who do have children

                                        I'm in a rural area of a red state.

                                        It really sucks here.

                                          Can't pick just one so here're a couple.

                                          "Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies.
                                          "AI", referring only to LLMs.
