What terms or phrases need to be left behind in the 2010s as we move into the next decade? It can be from popular culture, the media, social media, in real life etc...

My nominations are...

Problematic
Here's all you need to know
My pronouns are
Ok Boomer
Let that sink in

[LicoriceAllsorts]

[Andrew Birch]

back them to the "hills"

I always thought it was "hilt" or am I out of touch with the youth again?

I think somewhere along the line people just decided to change it to hills cause that's all I hear these days. But you're right it is hilt

 

[Andrew Birch]

At the end of the day
Existential threat
Literally
Raise your hand if
Social construct

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I 'could' care less

 

[Andrew Birch]

I 'could' care less

"I’m offended!"

 

[Billy ray]

Lets unpack this

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

A less common one but I have a friend who describes a bad situation as "being in a pickle"

 

[Andrew Birch]

Lets unpack this

Chael Sonnen dislikes this

 

[Andrew Birch]

We need to have a 'conversation' about...

 

[Andrew Birch]

We are better than that

 

[Andrew Birch]

[Andrew Birch]

Just sayin'

I actually didn't hate the word problematic until I heard about a billion Canadians start using the word unironically and 15 times per discussion. When I would hear it now and then, it suited what it was used for.
The NBN is problematic. Canadian Universities arguing over pronouns is not.

Throw in fake news. ******* horrid term, usually used wrong.

"Cancel culture" can * off and die as well.

Wasn't YOLO around 2010 or 2011 as well? Its basically dead but lets put more dirt on that grave to be sure.

Might as well through in triggered, NPC and snowflake too.

While we're at it may as well throw in...

Clap Back
Cis
White Privilege
Whiteness
People of 'Color'
Woke
Racist, Fascist, Nazi (So over used they've lost all meaning)
Hate speech (everything I don't like is)

At least YOLO, whilst unbelievably lame and cringeworthy, was actually positive in outlook. Unlike all the current isms which all seem so angry and negative.

Makes one long for the whimsy of totes amazeballs.

 

[Andrew Birch]

The world is going to end in 12 years

 

[NaturalDisaster]

“Milllenials are lazy, entitled” and any variant

Can't you leave your grievance politics on the cesspool down below?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Side hustle. It's another job.

"Let's catch up!". You never will, and you don't want to.

"Amazeballs" immediately came to mind when i saw the tt.

Think that is not used anymore anyway, but when it was around shitted me to tears.

I haven’t heard it in a while, but a couple of old high school friends used to say “lol” and “rofl” in person. Used to s**t me

What about over the top trailer reaction videos? Cringe.

I can honestly say the word amazeballs has never crossed my lips, ever- have just done it in written form, ie here.

Ppl who SAY lol should be punched in the face.
