cringe jargon resurrection thread

[antemortem]

i’ve officially admitted “epic” back into the lexicon of cringe terms that are outdated but now funny to use completely ironically

This thread is not only made of win, but has been soaked in win overnight, deep-fried in win and then sprinkled with a generous amount of win to taste

I think it’s funny that people are more likely to say IMO than IMHO anymore… people have become less humble over the years

Back in the early 2000s on the GameFAQs board for Gold/Silver I vehemently opposed the term "Uber" to describe the tier that included at that time only Mew, Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Lugia, and sometimes Celebi. My argument being it was a cringe term used by edge kids who were flunking German and the "tier" had only that handful of powerful mons which arguably had counters back in the "overused" tier. In fact back then overused was a term that had a negative connotation that equated to "no creativity".

Ok let’s say that it’s not cringe just to let you have fun

 

[monkfish]

how come the word "cool" persists when all other words for "cool" seem to be short-lived and generation-specific

We need to bring back flame/flaming. There's currently no word to describe a mean-spirited troll without jumping to the extremes like doxxing.

BTW, this thread is extremely FTW.
