What is your least favorite 2018 buzzword/phrase?

[DeadSlash]

What have you heard enough of and wish would just GO AWAY in 2019?  Mine is dog whistle, but all of this list can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

 

Any I'm missing?

“a threat to our freedom”

”both sides”

“russian collusion”

 

[spunko12345]

"Former Trump aide"

"Don't say it"

"Dick pics"

[DeadSlash]

I added "Russian collusion" and "Russia hoax"

I lol'd at "former Trump aide"  I don't know how I would list it, but starting stories with how they relate to Trump is totally a thing, and it's annoying, and constant.  "Alonso Green 26, Male was arrested in his Albany home today for the murder of his late step mother.  Police say he used a chemical mixture to poison her tea over a 2 week period.  Green is one of Donald Trump's favorite colors, say sources close to the Whitehouse..."

I guess the conservative version would be illegal immigrants?

[DeadSlash]

I also added social media influencer, though I think that is going to be more of a 2019 word.  I just heard it and it's fing preposterous. 

[estrangedtwat]

"Problematic"

"toxic/toxicity"

"We need to talk about _____"

 

I hate that last one.  Makes me think "Fuck you bitch, we don't need to talk about shit."

I generally find that people who use the word "Snowflake" unironically are irredeemable cunts.

Dick pic is one but you can't deny the comedy value if you say it to yourself in a New Zealand accent.

Also I fucking hate anybody who uses the word "hack" in any non computing or horror movie related context.

Added:

Toxic Masculinity

Dick Pic (by popular demand)

Safe Space

[Lio]

Woke?

[DieselDaisy]

''Toxic Masculinity'' is something I had to look up on Wikipedia awhile back. My initial thought when first hearing it concerned Brut aftershave. 

[wasted]

This could be the new Billy Joel style zeitjest song. We just need a soundcloud mumble rapper with tattoos only on its face and we can all invest in vape pens.

Mark Renton: 1,000 years from now there will be no guys and no girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me.

"Hater" is another one. I mean seriously. You know when a 5 year old doesn't know the correct word for something and just takes a word and adds an "er" on the end? Well basically that. Mongs!

People will die is an underrated one.

You could have all them Brexit words, Brexit itself, Brexiteer, Remainer, Remoaner, Backstop which I thought was a fielding position in rounders? Then you have the various systems: Chequers, Norway, Canada, WTO/No deal.

People un-self-consciously using the term "Norway Plus Plus" in political discourse...

I would happily take Norway's entire system of governance in a heartbeat assuming it could be implemented fully formed.
