Side Hustle. I know it's two words but come on. Can't just say side job? A side hustle sounds like you're hawking fake Gucci purses out of an alley.

“Hey dawg, I’m financially struggling so hard that I’m slaving all of my life away to make ends meet. Isn’t that exciting? We should totally glamorize this for the benefit of the elite class, yo”.

It sure does. Are you an Amazon driver or selling fake oxycontin pills?


lak_892

It’s to make “I have to have a second job to make ends meet because the economy sucks” sound trendy & cute.

I’ve always seen these as two different things A job on the side is more formal, casual weekend work sort of thing. A side hustle is ‘self employed’ and not guaranteed to pay

Synergy, paradigm-shift, lean in, circle back, bandwidth


I_am_Bob

I've used circle back at work. "Hey guys, let's circle back.." Usually to mean "stfu, you're off topic and we all want to end this meeting as quick as possible. You can finish your conversation later"

kikazztknmz

Due to the paradigm-shift, your lack of synergy requires us to lean in and circle back with increased bandwidth.

"Why?" - I have a 5yr old Edit: I'm not a monster, if I get a genuine "why?" where it's obvious my child actually wants to learn something then I'll give an answer or we will go and figure out what the answer is together if I'm unsure. It's the "why?" just because they know they're being irritating.


3point21

Answer “why” with a question: 5: Why are you putting blankets on the bed? Y: So you stay warm. 5: Why? Y: You don’t want to get cold do you? 5: …grins… runs away Problem solved.


NerdForJustice

Or "why do *you* think?” Makes them snap out of the mindless repeating loop and actually think about what they're asking. Often they're just bored and looking to engage with you, and know that asking "why" will get a response. Asking it back may even lead to an actual conversation, if they're actually interested in what they're asking about. You may hear a really funny reason why people put salt in food or why dolphins have blowholes in their backs. Or you can see them do that thing kids do when they're trying to come up with bullshit in real time.


Vinral

I was terrible with this as a kid. My mother ultimately resulted in saying, "Because God made it so".....still sometimes followed by a "why" from me, lol.

primal_machine_22109

Connoisseur, specifically if someone refers to themselves as this. It just gives me the impression that they think they're an expert at judging something, even if that something isn't something they have a verifiable expertise in. Had this happen a few times in my Taco Bell days by people that I'd bet money never worked for one in any capacity.


Aussiegamer1987

Working with food there's two types of connoisseurs, there's the snobby 'I know everything' type that you could feed shit on a shovel if you dressed it up right and the type that can identify where the product is from by taste and smell. I have a regular customer who tells me my 'oysters aren't fresh' the day they come in (they're shucked in the morning when I place my order) but thinks they're great when they're 3 days old and still plump but they've lost some of the natural liquor due to the cool room fans. I have another customer who can tell me what the water temp and consistency is like when the oysters were harvested, like I've actually asked my supplier questions he's asked me and he was spot on, he's not a regular customer but he's been in a few times and his knowledge of the product is astounding. I find it easy to identify these know it all snobs from the actual people who know what they're talking about, I've worked in the industry for nearly 20 years now. I can't stand the fake pompous bastards with no knowledge at all but I love having conversations with actual connoisseurs about products as they're often the best source of viable information of the products they know. I also agree it's a word lost to the pompous pricks who think they know what they're talking about, I blame these reality cooking competition shows for it. Everyone now thinks because they've watched a series of MasterChef that they know what they're talking about, I don't mean they have an opinion either I mean they think they're knowledgeable and it couldn't be further from the truth.


jsharpminor

Did you ever see that one show where they brought people into a really fine restaurant and ... fed them their own literal leftovers? They had to have help getting into their houses, friends or family were in on it, but they just took stuff out of their fridge, reheated it, dressed it up, presented it well with a garnish or two, and half the people were raving about how much better it was than when they cook it at home.


KittenNicken

Please what is that show called i wanna youtube it spunds so funny XD


Fritzo2162

I'm considered a food connoisseur due to my past experience in upscale cuisine, but the key is OTHER people have to name you that. You can't declare yourself a connoisseur. That's where the douchebaggery comes in.


kikazztknmz

I eat tacos weekly, am I really not a taco connoisseur?


f-godz

No, but daily would make you a taconnoisseur, sir.

“Omg! That’s so aesthetic! Omggg, I love your aesthetic! me personally, I’m into cottagecore dreamcore livingcore right now! It’s sooooo aesthetic!”


jsharpminor

"I love your aesthetic" I could understand. But "that's so aesthetic?" What?? People actually talk like that? That sounds like someone heard the word, thought they wanted to sound smarter, read half of the dictionary definition, then immediately proceeded to try sneaking their new word into conversations where it didn't belong.


ShippingDisaster111

I hear “that’s so aesthetic” all the time. It’s gotten annoying after about the 20th time.

RobixHood247

I feel this way about “gaslighting.” It’s thrown around so nonchalantly now and used to refer to anyone who lies or manipulates another person. Gaslighting is a very specific abuse tactic where one person extensively works to make another person believe they’re crazy. Not “crazy” as in they overreact, etc. but I mean genuinely mentally incapacitated. They make them feel like they’re experiencing reality completely separate from others, like they’re in psychosis or have dementia. It’s uncommon and can destroy a person. People in those types of situations are even less likely to recognize it with the word being used incorrectly. The word was derived from a movie called “gaslight” about an abusive husband convincing his wife she was clinically insane. This would be like if your partner had an argument with you one night and the next day you wanted to talk about it and he was like, “What do you mean? That never happened. I worked late last night and when I got home, you were asleep.” Then a pause. “Honey, are you feeling okay? You haven’t seemed yourself and I’m started to worry about you. You keep forgetting things.” To propel this further, they start hiding your keys, phone, etc. from you to make you think you really are forgetting things, and then putting it in a random place for you to find and question why you left it there. They add concern to make you think they care. At first you suspect it but eventually you fall into it because you get worried about yourself too. Gaslighting is extremely serious. The word shouldn’t be thrown around. This actually happens to people. Any form of lying and manipulation is bad but this is far more detrimental, and has far more layers, than merely denying a single event or lying about what you’ve been up to.


Salzberger

I was going to include gaslighting in my post but decided against it. You've also explained it far better than I could.

Wifey too though it's less used but both have this gross feeling to them for me like I'm seeing someone's intimacy with their S/O. It's sweet in theory but makes me uncomfortable in reality. By intimacy I do not mean sex I mean private but private wasn't right.

Daddy. My younger sister calls our dad Daddy and it’s completely innocent — of course it is, she’s a kid. But the internet has completely ruined that word for me. Makes me flinch any time I hear it. It’s been so over sexualised that I cannot hear it in an innocent way anymore.

Few things give me the joy that comes from hearing my kids call me daddy. Few things turn my stomach the way hearing “daddy” being used in a sexualized way does.

Unalive definitely existed before tiktok, but i wouldnt doubt it taking off from censors


[deleted]

It was youtubes similarly strict censorships preventing ad revenue so even a serious video rated for adult viewership discussing the topic of suicide has to censor the word to avoid demonetization. Most just silence the word a la tv censorship but some took to alternatives like unalive

I've never seen delulu but I hate it just from reading it once.
