Whatever word was used before "caveat" took it's place. A few years ago, suddenly, everyone on Youtube and elsewhere started using it.

Bufty.

Heard it frequently 20 years ago and now it's dropped off the face of the planet as casual homophobia has become a bit less prevelant.

Cluster Fuck

Unfuckulate

I have a passion for the word "fuck" I need to get back to. I love the word "cunt" but thats too volatile so I had to retire that word.

Ass hat

Clown Shoes

Banana Head

Yeah most of my terms are personal attacks on morons I work with.

[–] Cableferret@lemmy.tf 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I use "ass hat" and "clusterfuck" regularly.
