[Great Rumbler]

2016: Threat or Menace?

[Momo]

Problematic is like from 2012 isnt it? Still this anyway.

[Atramental]

Cummies 

[ToxicAdam]

Fam



Just getting ahead of the curve.

[Ichirou]

2016 is the worst word, and also number.

[Himu]

bae is years and years old

[Samson Manhug]

bae is years and years old

This poll, like everything, is biased for straight, cisgendered, white people.

woah woah hold your horses, biz.

fam is like two decades old or some shit too

[Great Rumbler]

That's the way dad it, that's the way America does it, and it's worked out pretty well for us so far.

[Ichirou]

Great Rumbler, are you a woke bae?

[sarslip]

oppo

[etiolate]

this needs woke

[jakefromstatefarm]

I nominate 'tribalism'

[Human Snorenado]

Bigly, duh.

[bork]

Gross

[CatsCatsCats]

Triggered (as used by redditors et al, e.g.  "Oh, are you triggered, bro?")

[Phoenix Dark]

Normalize, with problematic in #2.

[Let's Cyber]

Too many, can't pick just one. Most in the poll are awful.

Fuck 2016

 

[Joe Molotov]

Fam.  It is the worst.

It's been around forever, dude. First time I encountered it was in a Mobb Deep album.

Yeah, but back then it was lit. Now white people are using it and it's wack.

[etiolate]

Tribal/tribalism
Optics
Establishment
Change election
Neoliberal
Server
Toxic
Disliked
Unfavorable
Pay-to-play
Quid-pro-quo
Disqualifying
Careless

I think you forgot electoral votes and polling

[etiolate]

I use fam and lit because I learned I have the power to kill words. You have to embrace your inner dirty old man and happily use shitty words. You can suck the cool out of them.

[Cerveza mas fina]

isnt fam london slang

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

It's a 2014-2015 word per Urban Dictionary but fleek/on fleek is the worst.

Also I know of boring catladies who have been using "fam" for years.

[jakefromstatefarm]

Triggered

this has trickled down into pleb usage. my ~18 year old cousin says this all the time

[Syph]

Post-truth would've been my top choice until I noticed problematic up there.
The most Orwellian in its connotations and unfortunately very relevant today. Not to mention completely a product of the worst parts of the left.
Truly, problematic is a problematic word.

[Beezy]

isnt fam london slang

This whole thread is just...

[Himu]

Receipts is old as shit



Most of this is basically "I hate black and LGBT slang"

[Dickie Dee]

I think you heard the word Orwellian but have never read Orwell.

[PlayDat]

I don't like problematic just because of how vague it is (and like most of the options it's been around for years).  It usually means "something about this is harmful, but I don't know the word for it".  Subjugation is much harder to overcome when you can't clearly define the variety you're experiencing.  Those in power like it that way.  Sometimes the right term doesn't exist yet and you have to invent it.  Ignorant people will make fun of you for using whatever you come up with, but they were probably doing that already.

"Cuck" is the worst one on the list by far, not because it's "problematic", but because it's racist.

[PlayDat]

The Vine that popularized "fleek" was a classic.  Like most good things on the internet it got run into the ground quickly.
2016 was the year white people ruined "woke".

[Mr. Nobody]

Whole board really 

[Valkyrie]

Yassss queen, slay dat poll.

[Himu]

I dunno, maybe because I'm in the South?

 Receipts has never been a thing.

 I've only heard it from White people recently on campus and I was born and raised in a poor Hispanic/Black community in a Hispanic family all my life.

Been seeing it for years and years. Really big in LGBT community. Whitney used it and LGBT folks starting using it because of YAS QUEEN pop culture

[Cerveza mas fina]

ive haven felt this white since I walked down malcolm x boulevard

Yeah, I get YASS, it's been a thing forever and was recently picked up by LGBT peeps.

 None of my LGBT friends have ever used receipts though. I've only ever heard it from a few stereotypical valley girls in passing.

did you lgbt friends use stuff like tea, werk;etc in front of you?

[naff]

Joe and Beezy really summed it up

[recursivelyenumerable]

Cuck is the real answer but it feels too on the nose for a Bore poll so I have a hard time voting

I always thought of problematic as kind of an effete milquetoast academic word from the 90s so it was weird to see it used in the vulgar mainstream

[curly]

You are the anus of the digestive system of linguistic appropriation, through which slang passes after all use value has been extracted. Just as you are the anus in all things you do

tell me how you really feel

[doctavius bonbon]

tell me how you really feel

Shut up you fucking cuck

spoiler (click to show/hide)

jk it's all love fam

[close]

[CatsCatsCats]

I'm still fully in the appropriation camp, thank you. I try to to sound as much like Alyssa Edwards as I can get away with, gworl

[Great Rumbler]

I put like one black person word in the poll and suddenly I'm the bad guy? 

[Great Rumbler]

But for real, though, cuck is definitely the worst. I'd rather all words be replaced with bae, fam, and lit than to hear cuck, like, once.

[nudemacusers]

a lot of coded thug language itt 

[etiolate]

I'm pretty sure there is an actual cuck or two on the board.

[CatsCatsCats]

[thisismyusername]

Fuck you, Rumbler for adding options without the option to redo the vote. Add one to "cuck," I guess.

[Great Rumbler]

Well...it is Christmas...

[tiesto]

How about 'intersectionality'?

[Momo]

I dont operate in circles where I get exposed to the word cuck often so I dont really care about it, this thread for example has quadrupled my yearly cuck intake.

[Coax]

The only meaningful context in which I've seen cuck used is to describe when someone is watching a situation get figuratively fucked and they have the ability/duty to stand up and do something but they instead become submissive/passive. An analogy based on the cuckolding fetish. In most other contexts it's a misused and annoying term.

Lol no way was it ever used that way, at least not to my knowledge. It's mostly used as an insult against people not being racist because apparently that means wanting to see black dudes fuck your wife.

It morphed into "Cuckservative" which was amusing as hell. But then the internet morphed that into a general insult and it lost all meaning.

[Vertigo]

Do 'alt right' people actually use the word 'cuck' in real life not just the internet? I've always felt it's something shut ins use on the web to try and feel provocative.

I've noticed 'Savage' has now entered the mainstream which should hopefully kill it off quickly by early next year.

Yeah Fam and Lit have definitely been overused beyond acceptance, when the whitest guy at work starts describing his weekend as 'lit' it's time to retire that word.

[Positive Touch]

quoting this again so we can all bask in its pure majesty
