i mean, the words exist to describe how you feel about something and they do a pretty good job of that. idk what you mean by defense mechanism and projecting.

It's 26 to 35 years ago. Maybe you have just always been out of touch

Right, and I was already a middle-aged man 35 years ago and not inclined to use youth slang. Whoosh!

I'm sorry someone didn't appreciate you trying to be funny.

Bro offending people and calling it jokes

by Anonymous 4 days ago

Yes, going around offending people is generally not considered a good thing to do at all. I'd be astonished if this were unpopular.

Isn't the correct term cringeworthy? I always cringe when I hear people using the word as an adjective, it sounds so juvenile.

Cringe Unfunny Lame Can someone please tell me what the next slang word for "awkward" is, then?

by Anonymous 4 days ago

Cringe is not an adjective, it's a verb: it's something one does. Using cringe in any other way makes me cringe. My God it is annoying.
