In connection with irritating social media memes, I really hate the fake authority and the bloated self-importance of “Ok - let’s do it: let’s have the conversation on x”.

I don't mind threads by specialists. I read quite a few of em.
I mind people who aren't specialists sharing threads by "specialists" and just saying "This!", and then the person they cited turns out not to be an expert and then said poster starts fighting with people who know something about the topic responding critically about the inaccuracies of whatever was shared.

"Pre-" phrases in general bug me bcs the "pre-" is usually redundant. Pre-sliced ham is sliced ham, to pre-heat an oven is to heat it, pre-booking is booking etc etc. Pre-owned is at least an exception to this.

Pre-approved, however, does not mean approved!

pre-heat at least makes some sense because you are heating before putting food in

I thought of this scene from "In the Loop" where someone tells Malcolm Tucker that he hates the phrase "the bottom line" that Malcolm just used (don't stop watching until at least 0:40):https://www.traileraddict.com/in-the-loop/the-bottom-line

'threading the needle' is having a moment in media-speak, especially in U.S. politics
I don't necessarily mind it, just interesting to hear how these phrases can catch on for awhile

Karen as a pejorative needs to be retired
― H.P, Thursday, 11 January 2024 01:00 (one year ago)
Not for any regretful feelings towards those born with the name, but because it's now being used for anytime anyone complains (whether the complaint is right or wrong). Karens are now able to Karen by calling out Karens that aren't actually being Karens, but rather calling out the Karenning of the actual Karens! Infuriating!

Karen's basically lost all of its utility. I saw someone call a dude a Karen because he objected to pyro at football matches, for example.

According to HP we are reaching Peak Karen, which means to me it has reached the end stage, like a Ponzi scheme when the last sucker buys in.

Boomer is beginning to annoy me for similar reasons, mainly because kids use it to mean anyone over the age of like, 30 which renders the word pointless. No boomer is less than 60-65 at this point! FFS there's millenials with adult kids at this point.

kids are always going to poop on their elders; that they can't even correctly classify us should make it that much easier to ignore

also i know some karens and carins and that whole thing is shitty but tbh at least their names aren't euphemisms for toilets/procurers of prostitutes/front-line soldiers who get dumped by their sweethearts
― mookieproof, Thursday, 11 January 2024 03:08 (one year ago)
We're having a discussion about this at work lately, because there are real differences between old Boomers and young Boomers in terms of communication, degree of online-ness, etc., and it's really necessary to use two different strategies to market to/communicate with them — a one size fits all approach is doomed to failure.

My 80+-year-old parents are VERY adamant that they are not Boomers, but war babies. The distinction (if it ever mattered) will stop mattering soon.
― CthulhuLululemon (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 11 January 2024 04:28 (one year ago)
Biggest difference for war babies was that they entered adulthood as a much smaller cohort. They tended to have easier career paths (less competition for desirable openings) but much less social/cultural impact or influence. They weren't as flattered or catered to by big business.
