Do any of you have any irks towards the use of some words that people are using today? There are a few that get under my skin. I'm sure generations before me felt the same way about some stuff my generation said, but whatever, lets have fun with this. And if you want to add a word of phrase that was popular but you hated in generations past, let's hear them too.
I can't help but roll my eyes if I hear a young adult say that they are "adulting".
Umm, no. You are not "adulting"....You ARE an adult. It's feels like by using that term means you're faking it, or that you feel the need to have special acknowledgment and praise for doing something that just means you're growing up and being responsible.
Another one that bugs me is people who say they have a "side-hustle". In my head, having a side business sounds much more respectable. A side-hustle makes it sound like you have a "get rich quick" scheme going on or are trying to scam people.
So what about you? Have anything to add?
