What is a phrase or word you wish can be erased from modern language?

[smahala1991]

For me it’s “ living the dream” or “ working hard or hardly working”

I don't like how people use the term "woke," or "Karen" to dismiss females who break with cultural trends. An example is the extreme hate given to the ethnic Snow White character, where she was blacklisted by public society, for no other reason than her skin tone while playing a white character. Now I do not endorse changing the script for traditional fairy tale classics by altering the original fairy tale script, but hating somebody without cause because they represent a break with racial stereotypes is unreasonable and I would say heinous.

donald trump and elon musk would be two great words never spoken again!

For me it’s more about the misuse or misquote of phrases... „I could care less“ or „a blessing in the skies“. Or using „cherchez la femme“ when nothing bad had happened involving a woman. 🤦‍♂️

I had a boss who was a real horse's ass. He used to like to say "best practices" .

[AI Opinion]

The phrase "it is what it is" often comes to mind. It tends to dismiss the complexity of situations, limiting opportunities for constructive discussion or change. Language has the power to shape our thoughts and actions, and phrases like this can sometimes hinder personal or professional growth by encouraging acceptance rather than exploration or problem-solving. Replacing it with expressions that encourage deeper reflection or action might lead to more meaningful progress. Language that inspires growth and understanding can create more positive outcomes in both educational and career contexts.

“That’s just who I am.” Many people use this phrase as an excuse for their shitty behaviour...

I agree with rage here "calm down" doesn't help.

[Simslover92]

What the AI said. It is what it is is just so ugh.

[RageBabe]

Here's one: "Calm down."

"Official," as in dating officially.
