Comment on 2025 Banished Words List

Comments

At least in my local sphere, cringe still has meaning, and I've not heard of the uses in the article although admittedly I live under a bit of a rock. The same goes for era.

I've never heard of skibidi, sorry not sorry, dropped, or IYKYK. But I do agree that "game-changer" is overused.

The article sounds like someone complaining about words that they don't like to hear, but framed in a way to try to get others to stop saying them. It makes me cringe bigly

> I've never heard of skibidi

Oh my, you need to meet some of the Gen A crowd

To be honest I am not even sure what Gen XYZ even means any more...too many free variables!
