I am all for protecting and supporting trans people and I agree with this. These are stupid terms and I refuse to use them.

I had to look up the meaning when it kept being used in a webinar I had to watch for work.
(And for that matter: webinar itself.)



That seems very industry specific.

“To be honest,,,”

Which implies you weren’t honest during your previous speakings

I’ve heard “snatch” used in reference to a body part, but not a body type. What type of body is snatched?

"Gifted" when they mean given. Like, "I was gifted this new stroller."

"Mackenna Brianne! Come back right now!"
"Tanner Ewan! Please put that back."


Haha I didn't realize until I read this that this also annoys me, and had never thought about why parents do this but this is totally why.

There's a seemingly new kind of parent who is overly obsessed with naming and really into the names they picked and critiquing or admiring other people's kids names. I have encountered it online and occasionally in person. These are 100% the people yelling "Roxanna Marie!" at the playground.


In my experience, those parents are yelling names like Ryder, Chase, or Blaze.

I thought it was odd that my father-in-law referred to my mother-in-law as "mom". They eventually divorced. Clearly something was off there.

Christian lingo that adds "-filled" onto normal words:

hope-filled
faith-filled
spirit-filled
