Unrelated to anon’s comment, but I hate it that people apparently credit Whedon with creating this type of dialogue, i.e.: Buffyspeak. I mean, teenagers talked like that for YEARS before Buffy was on the air. I’d concede that Whedon may have popularized it, but he sure as hell didn’t invent it.

Sorry for the hijack, anon, personal pet peeve. But I 1000% agree with being over the kickass/traumatized woman trope that Whedon inserts in everything he writes.

It didn't show up on TV much before Whedon though, but you're right

(I remember reading this great old linguistic anthropology paper from the 90s about the linguistic practices of teenage nerd girls and it was definitely along the lines of what we call Whedonspeak (one of the girls even chose "Fred" as her alias))

AYRT
I do get the pet peeve, young women are generally ahead of the curve on linguistic innovation and almost never get the credit, while getting a lot of criticism for “destroying language”.
