Black hole
on the same note, "guesstimate"
People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
"Lawfare" meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
"Disinformatsiya" or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
"Sanewashing" to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it's a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about "sanewashsing" and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren't exactly the fucking same as Trump.
βHang in thereβ bothers me for some reason.
Feels like fake caring?
"Folks" makes my skin crawl. I feel like it's used to make someone appear friendlier while saying "you people", in the context of being manipulated by someone with power.

STFU!
Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless
"Solidarity" as it's too often used to make others do things you want.
Holding down the fort.
You hold the fort. It's a military term. It's not taking off if you let go of it.
It could become accurate. I mean, with global warming and extreme weather increasing.
