Literally.
Because holy fuck, Carter, learn a new word.
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.
Ointment… it sounds so gross
‘Woke’ when used as a perjorative.
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.?
Equalitarian?
I’m so fucking tired of the word “cringe” lately.
Cringe
Moist
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.
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.
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.
Irregardless, inflammable, idiom are all like nails on a chalkboard to me
What’s wrong with idiom?
Just can’t stand the way it sounds, starts with an idi like your going into something then ends with an um. It feels like someone stopped making the name partway through.
When people call sex “breeding”.
It sounds like some puritanical shit where they believe that sex is only for procreation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Penultimate. Anyone writing about or reviewing the second last of anything uses it in their first breath like their English degree depends on it.
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”?
Lots of sex words, none of which I will list.

I will never speak it again.
