Using the "x" for "gender neutral noums" was an already annoying fad in portuguese and spanish speaking countries. What anglo speaking losers are doing is importing this retardspeak. And it's a dated retardspeak, because the lefties here aren't doing this no more. They using an "e" now as in "Latino/Latina=Latine"

Makes me want to brain them with a brick

The "Latine" thing looks more French to me than Hispanic/Iberian.
 
Modern Americans not knowing how to use the 3rd conditional.

If it would have happened...

If it had happened...

The second one is correct but it seems that only the highly educated or people who are old enough to remember good English actually know this.

Latinx was just made-up by some of those loser hipsters who feel they need to bring shit into the modern age.

I think the SJWs who barfed up "Latinx" did so because in Spanish, the default term is "Latino" (masculine), and "Latina" is only used when only female is involved. Sort of like how "man" or male "pronouns" in English can refer to both men and women. Looks like the SJWs feel that tradition is "sexist" and "not inclusive", so they made that BS.
 
I've said it before but "boundaries".

I've seen enough people use it as a weird gaslighting of just trying to pull power games recently that it kind of disturbs me.
If someone is a constant annoyance or source of abuse in your life, you just cut them out or tell them to kill themselves.
You don't have a therapy session telling them how you're not going to eat at their lunch table if they don't meet your laundry list of demands.

It just seems like a form of therapy-speak that's infected everything. If you have to have "boundaries" with someone, they probably shouldn't be someone you're even associating with, or better yet, you might be the type of faggot who needs the crust cut off the sandwich.

Saying 'objectively' doesn't magically turn your opinion into an objective fact.

A similar one I hate is when people say "No disrespect..."/"with all due respect..."/"No offense..." followed by the most disrespectful thing you've ever heard.

Or when people saw "literally" in an an attempt to be hyperbolic when they are literally using the word wrong.

The misuse of "literally" is an epidemic. Part of me feels silly for being so irked by it, but morons do it aggressively. It's peppered throughout every sentence and it's as you said-it's hyperbole. They think it adds some dramatic heft but it really just makes them sound fucking stupid.

I finally came to terms with "literally". It used to irk the shit out of me but it's never going to stop being used wrong. "Bruh" was another one that gradually started to not raise my fucking blood pressure but I don't see that term much anymore.
What really irritates the fuck out of me is "crash out" especially now that I hear older generations using it. Even here on the Farms I see it. Even posters I generally enjoy use it and I feel like the angry old man wondering why they use zoomerspeak.

Crash out is one for me. I sort of get what it means, but there's way better terms you could be using instead.
 
I hate the way how the term "Eastern Europe" is used. The misuse of the term drives me nuts and I get why many Central European countries get very upset when they are lumped in with a bunch of countries that have very little in common with their own cultures simply because these countries were also under the iron curtain. It reeks of ignorance. Historically Catholic/Protestant countries like Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Czech Republic have more in common with Germany, Austria, and each other and are vastly different to culturally Eastern Orthodox countries like Ukraine, Belarus, Romania Moldova, and Bulgaria (which I would categorize as actually "Eastern Europe") in terms of culture and attitudes. As for Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, I would put them under Northern Europe because of their historic links to Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Finland.

I'm in the minority in that I actually love zoomer speak. Not the "aaahs" or self-censorship, but I'd be lying if some of the lingo didn't become part of my vocabulary. I think the beauty is zoomers kind of know they're just ripping off black shit and that the terms mean nothing so they gain a kind of charm in that I feel a lot of it's intentionally a little cringe.
I think it just goes from being so retarded that it circles back to being fun because half the words don't mean anything.
Neg-rate me all you want but I will never not smile calling something peak or someone saying "he's him".
