i guess i don't *hate* it, but why is everything suddenly being 'gifted' instead of 'given'

i was in a training session where the guy kept talking about 'learns' as in 'what learns are you hoping to take away with you today?', 'what key learns have you taken from this?'.

What. The. Fuck.

'Learns' is popular here. Infuriating.
― mmmm, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 12:28 (ten years ago)
there is literally no need for this. are they trying to avoid the word 'lesson'? why not say 'what have you learnt from this?'?
― canoon fooder (dog latin), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 12:35 (ten years ago)
'learns'no no NO

I lessoned some learns at school today.

I've heard "learnings" but "learns" is some next-level wrongheadedness

"There's no 'there' there" is the worst expression of all expressions. Far worse than "think outside the box."
― Treeship, Friday, 6 May 2016 05:42 (ten years ago)
The fact that it is an allusion makes it worse. It was smug and unimaginative when Gertrude Stein said it, and the same is true when internet commenters say it about an artwork they don't understand.

"by far one of the _____" is my new least favorite phrase
― davey, Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:24 (ten years ago)
e.g. It was by far one of the better episodes of Game of Thrones. Hands down, it was pretty alright I guess. It was far and away an episode of television.

I think it means "defending someone who you know has done wrong". I think I have just spent way too much time reading the gawker comments section and I should reconsider my life choices.

I find 'TTTT' functional and clever but it has suffered from overuse like anything else

caping = more polite way to use the "captain save a ____" idea? shameful.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:50 (ten years ago)
I think "caping" has been around a while, typically means fighting for a view or cause without questioning whether it's something worthwhile or worthy

"fur babies"
― Brad C., Friday, 13 May 2016 21:08 (ten years ago)
Fur babies is by far one of the annoying phrases, hands down.

^yes hate this so much, seems like something that would repel as many people as it charms if not more. has it come into common use in the last few months or have I just started noticing it?

I'm happy that I only am guilty of using two of the phrases/words on Alfred's list, and only sparingly. I'm going to try to do better.
