Of course moist is a given. My list is telly, belly, bib and panties.

Oh, oh, oh. STAYCATION! I remember when the word was first used. Somehow it has evolved to mean "not going abroad" which is stupid. Staycation originally meant to stay in one's own home and go to the tourist attractions in your local area. And that was a fabulous concept. Now there isn't a word for it anymore and I hate that.

View on Reddit #25377519

TarcFalastur@reddit

I have no idea about that channel but I've seen countless videos where the video has had a comment on it literally saying something like "I can't say the word because I'll be demonetised", or even where the person speaking has interrupted their flow to explain it mid-sentence. It could just be that YeahMad doesn't care about the demonetisation and is willing to accept the revenue loss in order to say whatever they want? Anyway, if it's not actually true, the belief is clearly so widespread that many, many channels have now adopted these alternative ways of talking which have been copied by their viewers in day to day speech now.
View on Reddit #25378250

gyroda@reddit

Yeah, I've seen videos about drugs or sex work where they tiptoe around the words because they don't want to be demonetised or suppressed (don't pop up in recommendations nearly as much) - the videos will still be available, but those crucial first few days can be heavily impacted.

> They're saying it's unconstitutional to ban their app but they don't allow people to say die, kill or any other natural thing that teens don't care if they saw the actual word They're arguing it's unconstitutional for the US government to ban their app. TikTok is not the government, so they can limit certain speech on their app without it being unconstitutional, because there's no laws against a private entity limiting what people are allowed to say on their platform.
View on Reddit #25323936

TarcFalastur@reddit

Because major companies paying for adverts do not like it when their ad plays over the top of a video glorifying anything controversial, such as suicide. Consequently many social media/video platforms simply decided to ban any mention of these topics as a cheapnajd easy way of policing it without having to expend actual human effort on reviewing videos.

We shouldn't accept it online due to censorship. Tiktok is one of the if not the most influential platforms out there at the moment, with a direct line into the minds of millions of adults and especially impressionable children. They will and absolutely do pick up language from said platforms, and so people will start self censoring (even when they don't realise they're doing it) offline as a result.

‘High-end’ and ‘gentrification’: both the terms themselves, which are cringe, but the attitudes they embody and their social consequences. I am an outlier because I work in the property sector in London but hate gentrification and the monoculture it creates. I believe that one of the traditional strengths of London was being a ‘collection of villages’, all (or at least most) of which had a social mix. Replacing working class districts with ‘high end apartments’ and driving out large numbers of young professionals because of high rents is not just socially unjust but shortsighted.

Knowlesdinho@reddit

A quick review of etymology will show that most Americanisms are actually middle English words that fell out of favour with a smidgen of Dutch added for whimsy. It's far more nuanced than that, but in simple terms, we usually invented the word that we mock. Although if you look at it more deeply, you begin to realise that our language is completely bastardised anyway, and it's our ability as a nation to evolve our language that is the real thing we should be patriotic about.

Mansplain and Manflu. I have no issues with the concept of either, I get it completely. I have very specific issues with these words. Manflu is now often used to mock men when they are sick. It's not nice that the people you love say "oh it's just Manflu" while you are feeling like absolute shit! My wife and her mother stopped doing that after the last 2 times. I got angry at them for doing so, and they thought I was. Just being touchy. They are their words when later I tested positive for COVID and spent a week having fever dreams and all sorts (the first time) and when I cut the 11-hour queue in A&E to be admitted to the hospital (the second time) I really hate mansplain because A. It is the shittest portmanteau I have ever heard, (correctile dysfunction is a much better play on words.) and B. Because it is a nuclear button to win an argument, akin to an ad hominem attack, but more effective. If someone accuses you of mansplaining, your argument is about now how you weren't mansplaining. But congratulations, now they will advise you of mansplaining about mansplaining. Just have a proper debate ffs

Any "TikTok censor slang" used in real life or used outside of TikTok. It makes me feel like I'm reading something written by a child. Adults know what and when censoring is appropriate and know it's not often used on other platforms

Catching feelings. I'm at an age now (37) where I don't believe it's used by my peers, so I'm not entirely sure of the context (do you say it when you just think someone is good looking or is it just before you get serious with someone?! I don't know), I'm pretty sure you don't 'catch' feelings. What's wrong with just telling your mate you fancy someone? Is that too 2004?

'Fabulous'. I cannot STAND it. Everyone uses it for everything. And 'lovely'. 'That's lovely'. 'It's lovely'. Someone talking about perfume - 'that's really lovely'. Food - 'that's really lovely'. It's like folk have no other adjectives in their repertoire. I cannot STAND either of those words.

Fledgling. I know it means “new” but I always think it sounds like something that’s struggling, about to die. Saw a wedding photo business called “Fledgling Photography” and couldn’t think of a worse name. Right away you’re telling people you’re new. When you’re not new it won’t make sense. To me it makes me think you’re struggling.

"It is what it is". Common in too many game videos. Normally associated with a situation where they recognise there is a problem but just can't be arsed to fix the problem. However, the same ADHD riddled individuals (I am one too but not for symmetry, go figure) will obsess over something inconsequential has to be symmetrical or they will burst into an unsymmetrical ball of flames.
