Words that have been ruined by social media

[blaseblah]

"Clap back" - this comes from 90s rap lyrics and used to mean exchanging gun fire. Then it was picked up by liberals on social media and now is a cringy way of saying respond to criticism.

"Woke" - this word originated in the black community in the 1960s. It was about staying aware of social issues and the problems facing black America. It hit social media within the last 10 years and has become something negative. Safe spaces, microagressions, etc.

"Cuckold" - the husband of an unfaithful wife. Shortened to cuck by the alt right on social media and turned into just about the dorkiest sounding insult there is.

Any others?

I agree with all of the above. Also, the word cringe has been ruined by people creating the word “cringy.” All they would have to do is add one more syllable to make it “cringeworthy,” and they would actually be speaking English.

You didn’t have to. I was just fitting in another word that was ruined by social media

Ah lol gotcha

Most seem to get offended by that word now so I figured I'd leave it alone

I mean? We’re they really ruined? Anyone that used those before they were popular is probably pretty strange

Me too but I'm old so it still is. Even around a bunch of...certain folks.

Not so much words on their own, but misspelled words. I'm honestly a good speller but I've seen so many words misspelled, I'm starting to forget the correct spelling on a few of them.
