When people call sex “breeding”.
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
I’d say that is more about a kink than anything remotely religious
I’m not typically one to kink shame, but that’s just creepy.
Why?
I can point out a whole collection of really creepy kinks. This is just a word that is normally used for when two animals produce offspring, so let’s use it for people shagging, makes it more animalistic.
I really don’t see the problem with this one but if you want real kina to blink twenty times, look into vore or guro
I’ve known a few people who used “breeding” as a kink word and I’m like motherfuckers i raised four kids it’s not a fucking kink, it’s a lifelong occupation.
Right? I’m raising one amd I’m constantly exhausted.
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 :p
It kinda depends on context.
A gay guy? Hedonistic, in the best way.
An incel? Puritanical, in the worst way.
Apparently it’s urban slang.
Sounds like some misogynistic nonsense to me.

It really sucks here.
Ouch, sorry, my condolences
that made sense, i was thinking breeding is a gay term, and often used gay porn alot, for young/older trope, which another cringe thing.
I only use “breeding” to refer disparagingly to the actions of those who believe that having kids is mandatory or, at least, unavoidable.
That’s how I thought it was used.
It is, maybe, something very particular as I am not familiar with that term used through “Puritanical thingy”. Sorry, I am located in Europe and lack of knowledge about Puritans 😬 [ANSWER RECEIVED]

Did you look them up? That’s basically what most of the mainstream US churches are based off of.
I had to as I am not (like veeeerrry far away) familiar at all with any mainstream US churches phrases. At least, I have learnt something new
biweekly, bimonthly, etc.
Wtf does it mean? Twice a week? Every two weeks? Who knows. What’s the point of this word when it’s so ambiguous.
In the UK we have the word “fortnight” for two weeks, which helps. I also found out very recently that “biannual” mean twice a year and “biennial” means every other year so, yeah, fuck knows.
Twice a time period. Semi for every two time periods. So every two weeks is semiweekely. However it gets misused so often you almost always have to check making it almost useless.
Similar to failsafe vs redundant.
Frustratingly enough, it’s the other way around. Biweekly is every two weeks, semi weekly is two times a week.
I remember it like this:
- bicycles are two circles, biweekly is two weeks
- semicircles are half a circle, semiweekly is half a week
But yes, people use the words interchangeably so often that it’s faster just to avoid the problem altogether and just say “every two weeks”.
Blah got it backwards. Back to coffee for me.
‘Woke’ when used as a perjorative.
I dislike words with the nasal E sound, specifically meal. I don’t know what but for the last three years I can’t stand the word meal. “Oh I hope you had a good MEEEEEEEeeeeal”
I’m so fucking tired of the word “cringe” lately.

Feminism
Between the toxic terfs and the toxic trads i think the word has been sullied, maybe beyond recovery.
I beleive in equality and free expression for all, but I don’t feel like that’s a goal that aligns with most modern forms of Feminism.
It is a word that’s supposed to mean eqality, but these days when someone identifies as a feminist my mind assumes they’re gonna be a reactionary bigot.
I don’t agree. I think it’s still just as powerful a word even though people purposely try to weaken it
What could I call myself to show I am a feminist, but not that type of feminist.?
I personally feel like anyone who’s not a bigot IS by nature a feminist at least in a solidarity for the ENTIRE human race sense, but keep in mind, this is coming from my perspective as a male, so I might be missing something by virtue of it not regularly impacting me personally.
I’d love a less-abused word, personally.
As a guy, I don’t think I’d WANT to call myself a feminist, lest I be incorrectly associated with the likes of Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, or a whole host of other clearly NON-feminists who hid behind the word to cover their actions.
Equalitarian?
I like woody sort of words. Bound, prudy, recidivist. Erogenous zone, loose woman… concubine! Errrogenous zooooone!
Funny thing, dear. All the naughty words sound woody.
E: It appears I have misread the question. But I’ll leave my Monty Python reference here.
Well my dear there were only 6 words in that question.

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.
“AI”, referring only to LLMs.
Yeah, it’s annoying because there are a lot of legit image recognition and pattern matching applications in my work field, and I need to ask for clarification every time someone says “AI”.
Like, is this actually useful, or do you mean “we asked ChatGPT to generate you 20% nonsense”?
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…
'za (Pizza), taters, sgetti, nanners, gnosh (im hungry I need some gnosh gnosh)
Phonetically, 'za should be short for lasagne, and 'sa for pizza… or people can just say the damn words.
Whatever, I guess. Peeps gon’ slang slang, for real, for real. 🤦♂️
Trump.
I will never speak it again.
The Annoying Orange.
good synonym 😊
Orange Mussolini
that’s nice 🙂
Shitler
ha. haven’t heard that one.
The Fanta Menace.
beautiful 🤩
The Cheeto
Ointment… it sounds so gross
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.
“Heh heh… Utilize. 👉👌”
“Me and the boys was wonderin’ if we could go family style on 'er…?”
😏
“y’all” its so wierd how people normalized such a cringe word, and it was originally laughed at because people who often say it dont seem so intelligent.
also the words “academic incest” which is really wierd an cringe, it suppose to describe getting more than 1 degree, usually a grad and a UNDERGRAD In the same university.
As an intellectual from The South, I’m taking it back. Y’all is a missing part of speech in the English language and follows known patterns. I use it with pride.
However, saying that out loud I realize I have opened myself up to w’all and will have to give that a try.
“All of you all ought not to have done, do you hear?”
Al’ay’allo’ghtn’t’ve’ny’hear?
Do you say can’t or can not?
The F word that means “a bundle of sticks” used almost exclusively as a homophobic slur.
that’s gay, it obviously means cigarettes
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? removed you about to die.
I don’t know. I think reclaiming slurs can be a good thing, (queer, for example), but that one is inherently violent and I always feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Like, there’s a reason you didn’t write it out in your comment.
Fair. I didn’t type it since I don’t want to be that guy like ‘you mean [word]’. It’s very context sensitive yeah, but I think it’s okay in the right moment.
It’s unfortunate - I like the concept of people talking about bundles of sticks, or slang for cigarettes. But the negative usage so dwarfs those cases that they’re really no longer legitimate
Off-topic:
I’m always tempted to write it out. The word is in everybody’s mind while we read the text. It gets so powerful if people decide to talk around it. But if the context is not hurtful, it’s just a word. Nothing happens. It becomes an insult if the mind of the one who says it or the one who reads it decides to make it one.
Plus the assholes who use it as a slur will say it anyway. We’re not achieving anything by erasing it from our bubble.
Well, that’s what I think about it. :)I do agree. That word is harsh to see, to hear. I have never liked it. Even between gays, I don’t use it at all.
