I dont like it either. Its weird. Partner doesnt have a romantic connotation.

yeah but...it actually conveys what a relationship should be much more than boyfriend/girlfriend

plus it's gender neutral

Basically every cryptobro jargon you can think of

"Woke" depends on the context. usually it does make me eye roll but in the (now an endangered species) instances of it being used with the original definition I don't mind it. "Free speech" and "censorship" similarly are terms I understand are actual terms but have also been irreversibly tainted so I have little reason not to expect the worst any time either comes up.

"It is what it is." I was hearing this constantly from anti-vax relatives during the height of covid whenever I'd mention that refusing to take precautions could get other people sick or worse (I eventually caught covid from them too). Now it just immediately makes me angry whenever I hear someone say it. Always found it annoying though.

"Woke", "triggered", and "leftist" are so overused at this point (and almost always by legitimately terrible people) that they've lost meaning to me.

"Content creator" is another one that annoys me. It's just a pretentious way for someone to say that they make YouTube videos or post pictures of their ass online for a living.

Using "breed" or describing someone (always a woman) as "breedable" is something that I struggle to understand how someone can use and not feel like a fucking idiot.

"Y'all", especially if it's coming from privileged coastal journalist-types on social media. No idea how the word became so gentrified.

I actually find it preferable. Not only is it inclusive for all relationships and genders, it makes them sound more equal and meaningful in the relationship.
Agreed, I really like the terminology. Emphasizes the idea that you're both working together
