Yep. Have reached saturation point with this one.
Plus, it’s used to justify discrimination against groups of people based solely on the color of their skin. I am opposed to racism.

slather
why must sunscreen ALWAYS be "slathered" on? why do we "slather" on moisturizer? or lip balm? or a hair mask?
Idea! Let's start "applying" sunscreen instead!
Let's stop "slathering" avocado spread onto the toast -- and for gd's sake, do NOT say "yummy" when you do -- and let's all begin "spreading" the mashed avocado onto the toast.
Thank you

What word would you use to describe integer chips, algebra tiles, etc? Manipulatives is the umbrella word for the category of objects.

Promulgate - I have an MA/BA in Classics (Latin) so I have a robust understanding of the etymology of the word. It basically means 'cause to come out in the way milk does from a cow'. Since I grew up on a farm with dairy cattle, it's an image I can't get out of my head when it's used.

Decimate and exponential. They are overused and misused IMO
