[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I so thankful that my life is not lacking in so many different aspects that I would need to lash out online about people having friends and being close with them. You sound miserable. [/quote]

NP here.  I'm not seeing the OP as someone who's miserable with no friends, but rather saying that the term Friendsgiving itself is what annoys her.  For what it's worth, my close friends and I do a "Friendsgiving" every year, but like the OP, I find the term annoying, so we don't call it that.  It's simply Thanksgiving, just as our family Thanksgiving is called Thanksgiving as well.[/quote]

+1 OP expressed a mild annoyance at the term Friendsgiving but didn't criticize the concept of getting together with friends on a day near Thanksgiving. As someone who also gets annoyed sometimes by bad portmanteaus or trendy Instagram hashtags, I get it.

I don't understand why people are getting so offended. Even if you love Friendsgiving, it's not hard to acknowledge the word itself sounds king of dumb.[/quote]
