4 stupid words that need to go away now.
This post has absolutely nothing to do with divorce, with cute shoes, with parenting; but I had to write it! Why did I have to write this? Because I’ve just spent time online and these meaningless, childish words are everywhere.
Facebook, Instagram and even Linkedin. And I’m about to lose my sh$%!
Have you had enough of these non words too?
Help me out. Please don’t use them. Don’t repeat them, and don’t post them on Facebook underneath that selfie you just had to take while you are driving.
Bae-
Are we really so lazy that we can’t utter the second syllable of the word “baby”? It supposedly means “beyond anyone else” but who knows that anyway?
Smooshy pics of your dog labled “Bae”, cuddly pics of your significant other, “Bae”. They only way this word could be any more annoying is if it’s being uttered by a Kardashian.
Please. Stop. Now.
Ninja-
Read any Linkedin profiles lately? How many people list themselves as “ninjas”. We have spreadsheet ninjas, accounting ninjas. Ninjas, ninjas, ninjas. It’s not funny anymore. Not cute. Unless you actually wear socks and a Samurai sword, please don’t refer to yourself as a Ninja in your online work profiles anymore.
Guru-
I have lost count of how many Twitter profiles I’ve seen of people who have decided they are gurus. How do you become a Guru? Add it to your Twitter profile that’s how. Publish an article in the church bulletin? You are a Spiritual Guru. We’ve got Tech Gurus. Empowerment Gurus. School lunch gurus. Know what guru really means? It means teacher. Why don’t all these self proclaimed experts just call themselves teachers. And this trend would be over.
Unicorns-
The big buzz word in the tech world is now “unicorn”. That mythical beast now means a tech startup valued at over $1 billion dollars. Why do we have to have a silly catchy childish name for a billion dollar company? Can’t we just call a startup company valued at over $1 billion dollars what it really is? Insanity.
And along with these innane words that need to go away, I hope that Kim, Kanye, the cast of any Real Housewives shows, and their families will also ride into the sunset atop a gleaming Bae of a Unicorn.
That is all for now.
