Words you refuse to use

[(Anonymous)]

Because they're newfangled, because you hate them (moooooist), or for any other reason.

Content. Something about it drives me up the wall.

Re: Words you refuse to use

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, content or content? Like, this person is content or this blog has the content you're looking for?

Re: Words you refuse to use

[(Anonymous)]

I hate the phrase "content creator."

Wellness. eurgh. what the hell happened to health? also it makes me think of people who think crystals can cure stuff
Playdate makes me want to throw right up, although I don't have kids and therefore don't have to deal with it much.
Lifestyle. I don't have a lifestyle, I have a life, plus I associate it with either homophobes or someone who is trying to sell you something you don't really want or need.
Eccentric. It tends to be used to excuse fucked up crazy behavior in very rich people (e.g. Howard Hughes, Michael Jackson)

Big girl panties. Blegh.

Anglicisms in the meaning of awkward turns of phrase and use of stilted vocabulary because you're so used to reading things on the internet that you forgot that actually we have a perfectly fine word for this when we don't speak English. No, you illiterate twat, we don't ~sleep over~, we overnight, and we have "feelings", not ~emotions~.

Re: Words you refuse to use

I don't get this one. Am I illiterate for using the term sleep over?

Re: Words you refuse to use

[tabaqui]

So you're objecting to people using English words instead of words that mean the same thing in their/your first language? Is that what I'm getting from this?

Re: Words you refuse to use

I've never used "overnight" as a verb or heard anyone else outside of old movies use it in my life, what the fuck are you talking about. If you spend the night at someone else's house, you're sleeping over. This usage predates the internet, seeing as the internet wasn't a thing in most people's lives until I was about 12.

I don't get it.

Re: Words you refuse to use

Oh, I get it. The thing I hate most about this is that I'm doing it myself. It's not that I'm trying to be cool by using English words, it's more that far too often, the English word is the one my brain puts at the tip of my tongue. It's exactly like you say, I tend to use archaic words close to English that are technically correct but sound very weird as a work-around. Apparently my grip on English is, at times, better than my grip on my native tongue because I spend too much time socialising on the internet and not enough talking to rl people around me or reading books or newspapers. It's embarrassing.

'Feels' as a noun. I don't understand why 'feelings' had to be shortened and it just sounds so stupid and infantile in a sentence.

I also have a strange tendency where I can't stand to use the term 'bangs' (as in hair bangs) in fictional writing but I'm perfectly fine using it in real life. For writing, I have to use 'fringe' instead.

Re: Words you refuse to use

[(Anonymous)]

"Feels" was absolutely the first thing that came to mind upon seeing this thread. I know it's probably bad, but I instantly lose some respect for anyone who uses it that way, even if it's someone I know well. (I try not to treat them differently, because everyone deserves to be treated respectfully, but inwardly it just makes me cringe so much.)

Re: Words you refuse to use

[tabaqui]

And to someone in the US, 'fringe' sounds weird and wrong and like we're talking about a jacket with leather fringe, not hair.

Re: Words you refuse to use

Well, I hope you're not writing American characters' pov, because they say bangs.

This is my pet peeve with fic lately, reading in an American fandom how character x "was sat" somewhere or "was trying to work out why," something happened.

They were sitting there and trying to figure it out, britisher.

I'm cool with British/Canadian/Aussie spellings, but Dean Winchester shouldn't sound like fuckin' Hugh Grant.

Re: Words you refuse to use

Yeah, the word "feels"...just ...ugh. it makes me grit my teeth and narrow my eyes.

Re: Words you refuse to use

[(Anonymous)]

on "feels", see also "mood"

i'm british so "bangs" looks fundamentally wrong to me

"Belly" and "tummy". Probably because of the GI issues I've had since I was a kid, and I'd be in absolute agony and the doctors would be like "does your tummy hurt?" and even at like age 9 I'd be all "DON'T PATRONIZE ME JERKWAD, DO YOUR JOB."

And since my stomach and intestines are the cause of endless pain in my life, the idea of calling such organs by some cutesy name is like calling someone's brain tumor that is killing them their "widdle toomie".

Re: Words you refuse to use

"Tummy" is surprisingly common in romance novels, and I hate it so much. "He smiled at me and I felt a flip-flopping in my tummy." What are you, five? Do the writers think "stomach" is too clinical? Ew, stop it.

Re: Words you refuse to use

Oh man, as someone who also has an antagonistic relationship with my guts (that's what I call the bastards), I totally get this.

Re: Words you refuse to use

"Creatives" for creators. I ranted about it here once before. It's unnecessary and pretentious, and I especially hate when it's paired with "small," as it often is. "Support small creatives!" as in individuals who aren't employed by big studios like Disney or whatever, and this cry is usually used when people talk about wanting diversity and originality in fiction. We get told the mainstream will never give us what we want there, so we should "support small creatives" who will. Except no, I'd rather push for that stuff in the mainstream because these "small creatives" are really a dime a dozen and most of them aren't actually any good, so weeding through them all and buying their self-published whatever to find one whose work I really enjoy is time- and money-consuming.

TL;DR there's a load of snobbish culture around the word and seeing it is like nails on a chalkboard.

Slut. Because I don't believe in the objective existence of sluts.
