Also "mic drop" when it's used in a news story regarding some zing that owned someone til they died. Like I guess according to the Yahoo, Hillary just did a mic drop tweet on Trump that ended his life.

like gtfo, incredibly objectively physically attractive but non-brilliant person comes onto you and you say "sorry I'm a sapiosexual so I'm not attracted to you"?

The use of sapiosexual to describe oneself, is not in any way limited to the makes of the species. I basically take it to mean this person is going to make a big show of demonstrating how clever they think they are. In other words, steer clear.
This probably belongs more in the IE thread, but conversations that revolve around someone showing off their knowledge of this or that subject make me feel deeply uncomfortable.

counterpoint: girls who self-describe as such also think (other) girls are vapid

there are a handful of dating profiles I've run across where that's not the case and it's just a woman who is trying to communicate that she's tired of dudes dating her until they have sex and then ghosting :/

I hate when films are advertised with:"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."
"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."
Especially since the 'guys' are usually the producers, not the creatives.

Wow perfect time bc “creatives” is my #1 most hated phrase of the last ~3 years

“Creatives” is the tech synonym for “artists” that no one asked for

I think the "guys" part just feels like they don't want to be betas and say "producers" or "filmmakers" or "from the director of" or w/e.

Wow, I never realized how many people use good faith and bad faith until this board. But yeah those are both super annoying.

I don't think I've used either until the past year but they're both better than "concern trolling" which irritates me to no end

"There's already a word for it" makes it seem like you think the very common and old phrase "bad faith" is some sort of faddish neologism?
