Have we had 'peak' yet? As in 'We have reached peak beard' to describe a trend so prevalent it is about to fall out of fashion?
This is as opposed to UK street slang where 'peak' is used to mean 'egregious' or very obviously bad, a phrase I kind of love.

think it may have been brought up on ilx b4 but i rly hate seeing "baby" used singularly, generically e.g. headlines like "foods that are good for baby" argh grates so much
It's so weird and jarring. I was just reading a book about how to feed babies (through the mouth, generally) and was wondering if that usage is codified in a style guide or something since it is so common.

I'm ok with baby in the context but hate babby.

I spose if the service was good and the body was still warm by the time they brought it out I'd go to maybe 20%

really hate when middle-class/affluent people refer to things as "ghetto" as an adjective. search "ghetto" on yelp if you want to despair for humankind.

i live in a pretty nice neighborhood and someone called my local chinese restaurant "ghetto" just because it's a mom & pop in a strip mall rather than some monolithic pf chang with ridiculous statues out front.
