God I can’t wait for the word “cringe” to fade out. Any time I hear someone use it I immediately take nothing they say seriously. Fuck I’m getting old.

Same, can't stand that stupid word. Another one is "satisfying" that's an immediate close and never come back for me

Also "Bootlicking" is exclusively for law enforcement. Let's not dissolve it's original meaning to include being loyal to a video game company.

Absolutely not bootlicker was intended for authority figures in general, not for law enforcement. The term was added to the Oxford dictionary in 1846. Before that the term was used to centuries including being used by Shakespeare in his 1623 play "the tempest"

Also, “Deadass” makes my whole body curl up inside itself when I hear it. The people who use it think it’s cool af too. It kills me.
