To think that vile is the most overused word on mn.

[Calistano]

Is all I can think of when I hear it. I mean it's quite a strong word, perhaps distasteful could be used for perfectly reasonable views that you disagree with.

Yes it is. I cannot agree with you more.

I never ever hear it in real life yet on MN every teeny tiny thing is labelled vile

I vote for unhinged :)

I've never seen anyone say vile on here but I hear it all the time in real life 😂

Hardly ever see vile on MN

😂😂 I've just said this word on a thread.

But she's talking about having sex in the same bed as her sleeping child so I stand by saying vile.

I don't know but thanks for reminding me of Linda LaHughes. Bloody hilarious 😂

I see your vile and raise you toxic.

(Keeping entitled up my sleeve.)

I'm convinced you could start a thread saying that you only change the bathroom hand towel daily, and someone would tell you that you're vile because a hand towel should be single use only and boil washed between uses.

Thats vile.

It should be incinerated.

The worst one on here (and overused) is "spotless" - nobody ever says it in real life and it just makes me think how sad some people must be that they think this is aspirational.

No. Grim is the most overused word on MN, followed closely by narcissistic.

Along with triggered and spiralling. Everybody seems to be "triggered" recently.

Bunch of vile toxic, entitled cunts. Ick!

Definitely agree with the overuse of vile and toxic!

My pet hate word is ‘frugal’. I don’t think I’ve ever used or heard that word in real life, but on here everyone is frugal, lives frugally etc. It’s the one word that really gives me the rage, usually because people use it in such a condescending and self-righteous way!

That and "grim".

They were popular words in the 90s, so you have to expect it. But yes, it's annoying.

It used to be 'livid'. Instead of being mildly irritated ops in aibu would be 'livid'. I miss it

I have no idea why people make such a fuss about this word. I swear that I read comments about how often it's used almost as often as I see the word actually used. Are you seriously objecting to it on the grounds that it's 'quite a strong word'? Oh no! Yes it's quite a strong word, because it means 'extremely horrible or unpleasant'. So why would you say 'distasteful' instead?

No-one is just a selfish bastard. They're a narcissist.

Oh I love grim and vile. Says so much with so little.

I vote " unhinged" and "you're projecting"

It's the new 'entitled'

Someone whined at me earlier for using the phrase "if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you". Apparently that phrase is very in vogue now. Can't say I've noticed a rush of people saying it, here or anywhere else. It's pretty old.

Are you seriously objecting to it on the grounds that it's 'quite a strong word'?

No, just on the grounds that it's really, really overused to the point where it isn't even the right word a lot of the time.

‘Grim’ and ‘selfish’ always used for the most minor things as well

On MN? "gross" or "called out", yes I know that's not A word, but still...

And I'll go for narc / narcissist etc!
