Well this is a whole lot of fun in here.
"Why in the world does this topic have 150 posts?"Language and communication are interesting topics that stimulate lots of discussion. Its not some grand mystery

Ah
"Corny"I feel like that's almost exclusively what that means.
More often than not it just means "I don't like thing"
And I'm explaining why it's different for other people.I don't think anyone doesn't understand that.

I almost feel responsible.
buncha oldheads ittAnd hot heads. A bunch of hot old heads.
It's okay, we're all PARTNERS in this crime...So you guys are fucking, or what?
buncha oldheads ittAs an oldhead, I will note that I don't have many issues with new slang or new jargon, so I will explain my answers.
buncha oldheads ittI'm almost 40, and I've never minded hearing new slang. New phrases and words fascinate me.
One I see on Reddit sometimes is 'this is the answer' or 'this is the only answer' in response to a completely subjective question which has no definitive answer.
I find it annoying when someone starts a sentence/post/comment with I mean.People only do that to make sure whoever they're responding to doesn't think they're being confrontational. Since so many people get real defensive on the internet anyway, and it's hard to tell someone's tone through text a lot of the time.
Obviously youre saying what you mean, its like a really stupid tautology and it bothers me more than it should.
RizzI like these two.

Because it is interesting that it is that particular set of phrases that you take issue with.What about the first set of phrases I posted?
SuspiciousDid either of you notice that, or do you only comment when you want to be contentious?

Two of those just came from the Ann Coulter topic, and it occurred to me that both mask off and quiet part out loud are just memes at this point instead of making an original comment about the words said. The users who used those phrases arent wrong, I just feel theyre overused around here.
Same goes for leopard analogies. Ive seen them used so much by so many people regardless of their politics, its just tiring. Not sure why or when everyone became obsessed with the leopard analogies, but theyre worn out.
I know the origins of freeze peach, at least around here, was during the Twitter buyout. I get it. But as its an outdated reference at this point, now it just sounds like a mockery of free speech, which Im quite sure everyone wants (at least for themselves or their beliefs). Free speech is important, and fundamental, and oppressed voices shouldnt be silenced. So while I understand the origin, its not a phrase I like being used.
Ill also point out that numerous people complained about woke with no one batting an eyelash or posting criticism (due to obvious bias, even if I also avoid it unless in quotes), and there was a whole day long argument of someones opinion on the word partner that was pointless. So Ive explained myself (even if one of you is tagged as Likely alt), and unless you have constructive dialogue in response, Id ask that we go about our days at this point.
This post did nothing to dispel my suspicions.
