What Words Do You Think People Overuse Or Use Incorrectly That Are The Most Annoying? (Page 2)

Question

I have two that I think are overused the most out at least incorrectly: 1) Triggered- It's funny that the people that throw this word around the most are the "triggered" ones... The ones that start calling you names, being overly offensive and if you reply or defend yourself, you're "triggered".. These are also usually the ones that gotta have the last word and then block you... Good Riddance 🤣🤣 2) Butthurt- Same reason, any time you disagree or defend yourself or your position, you obviously are butthurt 🙄 like really people 🙄 get over yourselves 🙄 the only  way I could get  'butthurt"  wouldn't be by anyone on here and would require lube 🤣🤣

"Racist" Is really overused and people who use it too frequently destroy the real meaning of the word.

"Literally"– "I will LITERALLY die" "I'm LITERALLY asleep right now" Please learn the difference between "literally" and "figuratively"!! "Like"–I'm guilty of this one myself. People using "like" every other word. "Oh my God/Gosh"–Don't bring them into this! They didn't do anything!

I would say ignorance bc most people use it as being stupid but its not being stupid its a lack of knowledge. having a lack of knowledge in something doesn't make someone stupid. i can think of a complete sentence that people miss use every damn day. Its my freedom of speech.

Dave Rubin keeps misusing the word "lofty". Ever since I heard him use it to mean "altruistic", I keep hearing people use the phrase "lofty goal". Unless those goals were  really  that arrogant as opposed to idealistic.

ariadneR · Answer

someone is triggered!!! Lol. There are several, that I despise. "Going forward", "from the get go" and "#blessed "

girlinher20s · Answer

I agree about "triggered" and "toxic". Also "gaslighting". As someone who actually experienced gaslighting from an abusive ex, I hate it when people use it to refer to politics or news.

I think people also misuse "love". You can't "love" ice cream or chocolate or photos of dogs. You can "adore" it but you can't actually "love" it because love is an action. It waters down the real meaning of the word.

Many youths I know tend to use the word “literally” wrong (“I literally died laughing”) or needlessly when there’s no figurative way of saying something (“I was literally in the shop”) 🤦🏻‍♂️

Far far too many words/terms to mention. I just try my best never to use any of these new-fangled words myself whenever I make any comments. That's about all I can do in my annoyance of seeing these "words".
