I like "easy-peasy" and "cool beans." But I have a heart for old slang - like "swell" and "copacetic". Probably because I love Cole Porter songs. I absolutely hate "impacted," as in, "They were impacted by it." Sounds like constipation to me. Much prefer, "It had an impact on them." or "They were affected by it."

Speaking of created environment and disability, check out Sara Hendren's work at https://sarahendren.com/. She's amazing and I think you'd like her stuff.

I figured out how to subscribe. Apparently, one can't do so in the app.

Lots of corporatese terms I could list, but “leverage” reigns supreme.

“Toppings” — for no particular reason. It just sounds sloppy to me.

Ugh... "Visioning" is really popular in church planning meetings.

I thought you were going to comment on "rizz" which is everywhere lately because it's been named the Oxford Dictionary's word of 2023. And I hate it.

Oh good god YES! Then Leo explained at length the other permutations like Rizzler… he was trying to torment me.

Also hate "gifted" used as a verb, as in "I gifted her this." No. You gave her that.
