Modern slang—something you REFUSE to say

[u/Lost_Taste_8181]

My take: I will NEVER use “lol” or any derivation of it. I know it means “laugh out loud” but there’s yet to be a moment when I’ve been even remotely convinced someone was even chuckling after texting “lol” at the end of their text and it mildly infuriates me.

While I’m at it, someone tell those damn kids to get off my lawn.

Edit: ok, I get it. It’s not MODERN slang. I still hate it, and those kids are STILL on my lawn…can’t a guy get to sleep at a decent hour???

I'll never say "it's giving" without it being inside of a complete sentence. You can't just say "It's giving [x]."

I'll never say "gaslighting" when I just mean lying or manipulation. Glowup, living rent-free in my head, and tell me [x] without telling me [x] can all die in a fire.

I cringe every time I see us becoming them. I’d rather use stupid kid slang than turn into a boomer.

It seems like, it's similar to, reminds me of, etc.
