Superb Opinion
You gave some good examples. "Karen", "boomer", and "game-changer" make me cringe. I get why people say them, but they are almost all used incorrectly on the wrong people anyway.
For example, I'm a Gen-Xer, but on Twitter when someone decided to tangle with me, and then gives me the big kiss-off, they'll say "Okay boomer". Like, come on. I'm so obviously not between the ages of 56-74. Get your generations right.
As for "Karen" again, I get called this (more so on Twitter) when people are just disagreeing with me. It's never because I've ever said "Get your manager" or gave some opinion that had a sense of entitlement (because I don't), and I absolutely do NOT have the haircut. I got called Karen just a few weeks ago for voicing my support for the Cleveland Indians changing their team name. If that's what a Karen is -- just blanketing any woman who one disagrees with, then they ought to change all the Karen memes online so we Karens can be clear what we are. ;)
And I just hate the trendy use of certain words. "Game changer", "weekend warrior" -- way overused and I'm just tired of. Lastly, anyone who uses the word "literally", because more often than not, what they're describing isn't actually literal.
Most Helpful Opinions
Preggers - I just hate this version of "pregnant", it sounds really aggravating.
Lit
Systematic - It has it's place, but most just use this to shut down any conversation regarding the other side and to indicate it's unfixable.
Bro/Bruh/Brah - -_-
Simp
Finna - I almost always need to google what this means. It's short for "Fixing To"
Baby-Daddy: Seriously, just say "Father" or "Dad", it does NOT also mean "Husband".
BAE
Totes
Bling/Swag
Literally No One - The only time this is ever acceptable in my opinion, is when it's in a meme.
Epic - Used sparingly, it's fine... but when used for every little thing, it's annoying. ("I went to McDonalds the other day and it was Epic!" Um... no... it very likely wasn't.)
Any ist/ism/phobe - Reduce use, not disappear completely. I am fine with most of these, but they just get thrown around WAY too often and lose a lot of the impact they once had.
Triggered! - Again, WAY overused. Often for any slight inconvenience or something they would prefer not to hear. Similar to people saying they're allergic to something, when they just don't like it.
Hero - Again, used sparingly it's fine. But another word that tends to get thrown out more often than not and loses the impact it has/had.

Simp, woke, Incel, meme, genius, literally (it's constantly abused, has lost all meaning), racist (just like the word "literally", it literally means nothing anymore), feminism, Antifa, communism, socialism (those ideologies are just SO last century!), Nazi, Islamophobe (a phobia is an irrational fear, but it isn't irrational to fear a barbaric, false, murderous religion that has done real damage to civilisation over the centuries), Google, TikTok (yes, I know, they're technically not words, but I'd like to see them disappear anyway, and many now use the company name 'Google' as a word, as in "Google this, Google that"), safespace, microaggression, redpill, bluepill (and every other 'pill' out there), and...
well, that's all I can come up with at the moment, but I'm sure there are many others I simply cannot STAND!
Could we please erase all of these from not only our dictionaries, but from our very memories as well? I hate the sight of all of them, because they represent everything that has gone wrong with our civilisation.

I agree that "simp" needs to go. From what I've seen, the words "simp" and "white knight" were made to make men feel bad for being decent human beings. It's different from the term "nice guys", which is used for men who are nice to women in order to get sex (which should also be renamed, because it makes actual nice guys look bad). Maybe I haven't seen the whole story of it, but that's what it looks like to me. I see it spammed all over comment sections whenever anybody compliments anything about a woman.

I would be quite okay with never hearing "alpha male" again. I usually hear that from a guy referring to himself as an alpha male and I always think, 'if a guy is a role model/leader of other males, he shouldn't need to boost his ego by applying such a self-aggrandizing label to himself.'

About the only ones I can think of are "woke" and "Karen".

All of the gen z sayings like oof and “it be like that sometimes.”

"Karen" will pass just like "Kyle" was meme'd out before it and now never used. "Slut" and "Simp" will stay, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Take "Slut" for example, its word that may have unintended benefits. I. e. you wear revealing clothing and your girl calls you out for it. From my experience as a guy, I tend to lose interest in girls whom make it too easy and at most put up with her until we smash.
"Simp" has a simillar benefit for guys. I've unfortunately met guys who'd for instance pay for a girl's OF account, or better yet act as a moderator on a girl's twich account. These men get no benefits other than the hope that one day the girl will acknowledge them, which rarely ever happens. This will happen more often than you'd expect and a girl would never say: "hey, I know you're moderating my twitch for free, so here's compensation." Girls would just accept the behavior and the guy would make no progress in his pursuit, so it takes another guy to say, "hey man, stop simping" for him to revaluate the point of his actions. -
Covid.
First off, you wouldn't even hear it if we all threw away out TVs. But since that ain't gonna happen any time soon cuz the sheeple like to be told what to think, I wouldn't mind if they got informed by looking up the science and the 10 years of research and brain studies etc. behind the Wim Hof Method, then started practising what has been proven to work, started conscious control of their immune system and stopped getting sick from everything, Covid included. Then all this silliness in the world with lockdowns and masks would be over in a week. (That's how long it takes to learn the techniques properly.)
First thing I did in the new year was to have my cold shower, then put on my shorts and went for a walk in the freezing foggy streets. The pavement was slippery. All car windows frosted over. Not a soul in sight. I saw one car in the distance. I haven't been sick in years. Used to be sick a lot. Much like Evan Carmichael. Watch his video How to NEVER Get Sick Again - The WIM HOF "Iceman" Method if you haven't already.
This virus or maybe another will be the motor behind the next mass extinction, this time humans only, it's time for natural selection to start doing its job. The time has come for humanity to take the next step in evolution and rise above the animal kingdom. The name of the game is conscious control of the immune system, the autonomic nervous system and the limbic system, among many others, that science used to think we have no conscious control over (until Wim taught the 12 volunteers who all passed the tests with the same results as him).
That's what I wish to see. I've been wishing for 10 years since the studies came out in early 2011. Although millions are aware and practising, billions are still not practising. Otherwise we wouldn't be sitting in lockdown. -
I'm really done with the transexual movement. I'm for calling it what it is - gender dimorphism, a mental problem. I don't believe in oppressing them or anything. But their idea of rights is getting way out of hand. And teaching it to grammar school children is evil.
I'm also sick of divisive words being over used by SJW-type liberals. Anyone who disagrees with them is automatically labeled a sexist, racist, homophobic, white supremacist, Neo-Nazi, Trumpster, you name it. In doing so, they are actually creating those things while playing into the hands of our common enemy. They have made the word liberal, itself, into a pejorative.
While I'm at it, I am done being manipulated by the words antisemitism and holocaust. -
These words should only disappear for genuine people. Not for the wrong doers.
1. Whore/Homewrecker (If your partner has lied to their affair partner that he is single then you shouldn't blame the 3rd person involved)
2. SIMP ( A guy who loves unconditionally should not be called a simp. A guy who still love a girl despite his affection not being reciprocated) it's innocent and pure not a simp.
3. Transphobe or calling a masculine women She Male.
4. Motherf**ker (ladies should stop giving birth if there's no respect for a mother) -
I'd say Alpha and beta for categorising men is something I'd like to see gone.
I agree with the Karen usage as well, it's come to a point where some girl is judged because her name is Karen even if she's a sweet person, the actual "bring me the manager" types should be called busy-bodies or something.
As for simp, people need to understand what it actually means. Cause a lot of people online calls guys simp for simply being nice to women or actually treating them well, that's not a simp. Simp is someone who tries to please others constantly at the expense of their own self respect.
Similarly the word snowflake is something I keep seeing in wrong places. Anyone who points out any inappropriate content in something is automatically labelled a snowflake and I'd like to see less of that.
On the contrary, a word I'd like to see brought back is Vindication. -
1. Karen
2. Respectfully
3. Entanglement
4. “ It’s the (insert what you’re talking about) for me”
5. “If you wanted to (insert what you’re talking about) then just say that”
6. Calling the coronavirus the “rona”
7. Coronavirus (I’m tired of seeing this word for more reasons than one)
8. Calling the stimulus check the “Stimi”
9. Quarantine
10. Pick me
11. Problematic/Unproblematic
12. Goals ( Used like this: “Couples Goals, Relationship Goals, etc.)
13. Cancelled (Twitter getting upset over something dumb and ridiculing others for still supporting that person. Then forgetting all about it a week later when they’re ready to “cancel” someone else.”) -
I don't think any of those should disappear. But their abuse should. Not every man in love is a simp. But a ho ho ho is one, regardless. Still, calling some gal that out of envy over a nonsexual matter is childish. I don't call some dude a dicklick because he somehow got a better PC tower for cheaper. A lucky bastard , maybe. But I reserve dicklick for describing some of the worst leftist trolls on Facebook, who deliberately post the most insanely idiotic memes they can find, just to see how many users they can piss off. If someone has to redefine the term "living in fear" from senseless capitulation to healthy resistance against clear evil, that's a dicklick. Likewise, a slut is a maneater, not a single gal with better earrings than yours. Still better than a thot. Those women are capable of anything bad.

I just want to see people stop using the words “Then” and “Than” as interchangeable synonyms! I am so sick of reading things like “My date on Friday was better THEN I expected. First we went to dinner, THAN he took me to see a move... THAN we made love all night long.” Seriously, is there a grammatically challenged autocorrect system out there, because it seems like it is everywhere lately, and it’s driving me crazy!

Whether it’s about adopting a pet (or in some cases a child 🙄) or purchasing a new home, I hate it when people refer to ‘forever home’. It always makes the person sound like a shallow, narcissistic piece of... 🤨.
... and calling people a ‘random person’! It’s so offensive! Yeah, we may live in a big wide world, but everyone is important to someone, and deserves basic respect. You never know what the other person sitting beside you is going through, and should never assume. -
I'm unsure about what words I think need to go away. But I've always found the words karen, emily, stacey, simp, incel, etc. confusing. Actually you know what, maybe the really toxic internet cults need to go away. MGTOW, incels, misandrists, etc. all need to leave and just move on with life. Or go to therapy. Whatever they need to do to fix up their life again and be happy. As long as they aren't hurting anyone and themselves that is.
-
I perfer we stop removing words that's why the world is going to shit.
Once can no longer hold a conversation without having to weigh the words he / she uses a thousand times over.
What I want gone in 2021 is soft people who get "offended" by what others say.
People who want to control how othere should think.
And above all people who can't take a joke. These people I would have drawn and quartered if I could. Like if someone makes a gay joke that does not make them a homophobe preaching hate, it's a joke, same goes for race, gender, religion, etc... people need to learn to take jokes again they are meant for laughs nothing more -
1. Covid: Done with it, DONE!
2. "Literally": as opposed to figuratively.
3. Virtue signaling: now you're doing it.
4. Space: safe spaces, healthy spaces, etc.
5. Toxic: The users of it are the culprits.
6. Fake Newz: When was it real?
7. Equity: I do get it but geesh!
8. "Woke" from the left: Malcom X is rollin in his grave.
9. "Woke" from the right: Stop it you're making it even worse.
10. Genius: Those are actually rare.
I'm sure there are more but these poured out. -

Yeah the S word is kinds nasty. The “Karen” debate, that is messed up. And it’s all because of some nasty ass Anime, it was banned by some politican named Karen. Personally I don’t care much for most of what the Japanese make, if it was studio Gibli that’s another story. Personally I would not want my kids under 15 been influenced by content that is definitely a MA rating.
