I know it's been around long before its recent surge in popularity, but I'm already fed up with 'gaslighting.' I get that the term seems more relevant now than ever before, but it's quickly become another quasi-academic descriptor that's worked its way into the popular vernacular and is hastily used in every day situations to describe anything that bears even only a superficial resemblance to the phenomenon.

Maybe then it's not necessarily words that bother me, just the way we devalue their meaning once they start trending.

I guess this is the reason we're criticising most words here. Once they make it to the mainstream, a vocal minority tends to overuse these new buzzwords as to render them meaningless.

They're usually coined with good intentions, and then get out of hand.

The Guardian has been on a toxic rampage over the last few days. All of these have been headlines in the last week:

Toxic political agenda is dehumanising entire groups, Amnesty warns

Business rates: this toxic row will return unless we find a fairer alternative

Pity the imperilled butterfly, fluttering out of toxic lives. Pity us, too

Retired- it doesnt mean you stopped workingor that youre too old to work (bc anyone can retire at any age) it doesnt mean you finally managed to save up a million bucks. It doesnt mean youre disabled but it might mean youre retarded. Retired can fuck right off

From memory, I believe that's called a 'small loan'.
