I think there were some giveaways too, but I missed out. I wonder if they will do it again next spring.

I'm still impatiently waiting for the term GOAT to go away for good. Gross was a big thing in the 80's. I understand it's not as prominent but did it ever truly go away?

It came back huge in the last couple of years. It started with people using it towards Republicans for their indiscretions, then Republican supporters and the far right started using it back towards Democrats for things that aren't gross at all, then it bled into everything on social media.

Basically now it's used for anything that people disagree with or don't like instead of things that are actually gross.

"that's so kind"

"you're so kind"

"how kind of you"

STFU with calling me kind. It makes me hate you.

Would you kindly let us know which words you’d prefer people use to describe your anti-hateful actions?

Come to think of it, "anti-hateful" would be perfect. It would make me feel good and sort of recognizes the effort I have gone to in order to counter my nature.

I think telling somebody they're "kind" is patronizing.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the life of GOAT has been extended by the rise of "GOATed".

I just learned of a new one today: sav. Short for savage. "That's sav, bro". Ugh

“Quiet quitting”. #### off…your just lazy and selfish. Don’t try and to make it sound respectful or like it’s a good thing to do the absolute bare minimum to keep your job.
