    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 😛

        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

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

              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

                    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"?

                      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.
                        "Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities.

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

                            Oh wow! looks like it already has been considered correct, and ask is the new correct way.

                                I don’t hate it, but apparently they have done polls and often the top result is:

                                  Receive.

                                  I think my grasp of English is pretty good, but this is one of the most common words I misspell on a regular basis. I have no idea why I keep wanting to write "recieve" instead.

                                        “Mouthfeel.”
                                        Especially if it’s a food show.

                                          "Unctuous", especially when overused on those shows...
