Doggo, pupper, fur baby.

I work in the veterinary field and I once turned down a job because we were required to refer to the pets as fur babies and the humans as pet parents. I have no problem calling someone "Mom" or "Dad" to their dog or cat, if that's what they prefer. It was the *required* cutesy language that irritated me.

Not necessarily slang, but more of self-censorship (and I think a lot of it comes from TikTok because you can't use certain words?).
Aside from the obvious like, f* ck/fck, here are some other examples I've come across: s *x - r *pe - unalive - p*rn - pretty sure I saw Hitluur in reference to Hitler - seggs for sex...

Wherever this trend of censoring literally everything has come from, it drives me up a wall and makes me think the person doing the typing is incredibly immature and pretty dumb. Can't say the word sex? Then you probably shouldn't be having it.

If this is in fact something TikTok started, to that I say *what the f**k* because, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's a platform where people can post videos of themselves scantily clad "dancing" (I.E., doing something that looks like synchronised seizures) but can't say "bad" words. How does that make sense???

In my opinion, it's all about context. I'm guilty of calling it "lady parts" when in certain company (including my 80 yr. old mother), which is much better than calling it a "cookie" like one of my friends (whose name I shall not mention) does. but it's not like I have a problem with or would avoid saying the words vagina or penis in a more clinical/serious setting. And I'm no prude, but to me, terms like pussy, c**t, and c**k can be a bit jarring when heard in public and are best saved for the bedroom, or wherever else sex is being had. What really gets me is when people like Khloe Kardashian refer to the pubic area as their vagina, saying s**t like "I shaved my vagina" when most of us know that is physically impossible.

I've always taken that stance until I first saw someone use the word "aesthetic" when referring to something cool, such as "That's so aesthetic." My head just exploded when I saw that. And then when everyone started saying "low-key" instead of "slightly" or "a little bit" like, "I'm low-key offended" or "He's low-key weird". I don't know why, but these two slang terms, in particular, just set me off.

It's kinda falling off but "low key" became much to overused and people were just using it as filler.

On reddit there are certain buzzwords that seem to catch fire and spread through the whole site that I despise. They get used to the point that most people using them have no idea what they actually mean. A current one is "gaslighting." Gaslighting isn't just when someone says something that is untrue or something you don't like. It's a specific thing.

Cringe. I normally don’t care at all about slang and think people should be focused more on rhetoric than word usage…but cringe is so extremely overused and typically used to demean or basically abuse or even bully others.

“That’s so cringe! Those things are cringe! He’s being cringe!” Seriously? All these things make you cringe? An actual physical response to discomfort? Doesn’t seem like it. Seems like you just want to call other people losers or “nerds” while claiming to hold some sort of moral majority on your side. Like you have the right opinion or view and other people don’t.

Guess I cringe at “cringe”. It’s more the attitude behind it than the actual slang itself that irritates me.

Language evolves. If it didn't it would be dead. I'm sure people have felt this way about the latest colloquialisms throughout the millennia, but life is so much more pleasant if you get over this kind of squeamishness, and consider that these changes are part of our ever-changing cultures. They're not bad things. They just seem foreign right now. It might just be an age thing, but I was irritated by stuff like this a decade or two back, and it suddenly just stopped being a trigger sometime, without me realising, but I'm happier the more relaxed I get about these things.

Not being classiest. Simply don't understand nor using proper English.

The point about language is that both sides have to understand the meaning. I remember seeing an episode of Judge Judy in which someone had posted something and included "hmu". Even if one understands the letters, it still takes some explaining if one isn't familiar with the lingo. As a youngster I recall using "preclude" to mean "pre-conclude" - I knew what I meant, but the teacher had a different (and obviously correct) understanding, so marked me down (this was back in the days when one got marked down in school for being incorrect). That's why we need words to keep their meaning.

All of this can be summed up in our laziness. Rather than discovering the correct word, even though you have the internet available practically 24x7, we alter the definition of words to suit the purpose in the moment. It is sloppy and has unintended consequences. It changes our understanding of historical communication. It also confuses current conversation when both parties do not have an agreed upon definition of words. Then people use this to manipulate and deceive others.

The 1920's had a lot of nonsensical slang. The British "banter" from WWI. The 50's beatnik slang and 60's hippie slang. In the mid-80's my then undergrad sister was using the currently en vogue slang of half words, such as sta way for station wagon. Nothing in this world is new, it just recycles everything every couple of decades.

As an African American, ive never heard any one of us say that, only kids, of every race.

I cringe every time I hear “finna” instead of gonna. It just annoys me so much. Seriously, do you think you’re cool just cause you changed one letter in a word?

Two letters. And I don't think it's about sounding cool, it's just the vocabulary people were raised with.

I cringe when someone says or writes "Question for you" and then proceeds to say or writes the question.

Another one: unspoken prayer...how does one know for what to pray if it isn't stated? Maybe that's just me.

"I"m going to go ahead and (do something)" Why not "I'm going to (do something)"?
