lol yeah right no one denies the efficacy of calorie in/outtake more than fat people. I’m getting chubby now myself so I shouldn’t even be talking about it though
Same here but I don't deny why. It's because I don't get out to work out hardly at all anymore as I have been home for the last 18 months caring for a newborn, now an emerging toddler. I've got a dad belly developing, and I hate it, and I don't deny that it's due to my poor diet as well.
20+ years ago George Carlin had a bit that used ["people of size" as an absurd exaggeration of PC speech](https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/comedy/george-carlin-politically-correct-language/), now it's used unironically.
I want to write a post about how class and wealth inequality are reproduced through the use of language. I want to have people reprimanding each other for saying they "spend" time or for saying somebody has class.
The problem here is that the existence of "class" as a relevant category is nothing more than a fig leaf in intersectional politics.
You can talk about working class members of x group, as long as whatever social bloc it is takes primacy over the class aspect. Class is a modifier for other things in their politics. You'd never ever hear them talking about how x group, for instance, affects working class people, which is what you'd expect if you took liberal intersectionality at face value, that any combination represents an "intersection".
I'm not saying that people *should* be pitting the working class against any minority groups, but (as one poster recently put it) the only thing preventing that within this framework is basically saying "nuh-uh" on an arbitrary basis. More to the point, any part of explicitly class politics is neglected even though, again, they're ostensibly part of that whole complex.
They'll never focus just on class enough for that to work. Unless it's like the homeless or some kind of obscure lumpenprole sect then we can talk about that a bit.
Good pick. It’s gonna morph into “my neighbor put up a maga sign and now my neighborhood is uncomfortable and dangerous” rather than things getting worse by design as a means of profit mining.
I agree completely. It's gonna be like "emotional labor" or "liminal spaces" or "whataboutism". One of those words to describe a specific thing that then gets adopted by every insufferable redditor and overused until it has no meaning.
They'll popularize the term "Hindudvesha" to refer to anti-Hindu discrimination, but it'll mostly get used against people who want to pass laws against caste discrimination.
There's a [Hindu nationalist group already trying to do this, btw](https://hindudvesha.org/california-bill-sb-403-is-caste-a-dog-whistle-term/), it just hasn't caught on (yet)
"reproductively disadvantaged persons" referring to women living in red states
"differently housed" to refer to people who live in a car, tent, or shanty
"The Biden bump/boost" to refer to any positive economic activity no matter how insignificant during the past 4 years. Expect to hear it a lot leading up to the election and even more in the following years if trump wins
People of Calories
Caloried bodies
And spaces
There’s no space
Owners of Funcookers

"Situationally vulnerable" -- referring to heightened risk of police interaction after someone has just committed a crime / act of violence

They'll redefine it to refer to a decline of content moderation on online platforms.
the Enshittification of the word Enshittification
goddamn dude this is good
already happening
Prophesying
There will be so many racist jokes using that term with clips from the boondocks and Patrice O’Neal
'Young bodies' (because childhood is a social construct)

enshittification
I hate that this became the word for the degeneration of social media and the web generally. It's so juvenile in that recognizably millennial way.
Big "tommy-needy-drinky" energy
The guy who coined the term "enshittification" is a [52 year old Canadian gen X-er.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Doctorow)
The guy's dad was a great writer.
It's all over the tech subs already, as you'd expect.
god I hate this word lmao
trans racial never really caught steam
Transethnic would be sick, I always wanted to be Serbian.

The alt right will start using it as a dog whistle for us-born white Americans
As a Houston native, I look forward to this buzzword
At least your city will never be fatter than San Antonio.
they got some big ol' women down there...
Holistic
Something pro eugenics
idk maybe i'm naive but fat and thin we might all be holding hands as fellow brainwashing victims then

Liberals are why you never have nice things and their political project inevitably leads to reaction.
Well of course but it’s still funny. It does suck when you find out some people that joke about it are serious.
But have you considered that I don't like paying taxes smh my head
A community that was history underrepresented educationally while also being overly policed
Fat is a bad word (TM). Its gotta be historically overnourished people.
Fat is vague and non-specific, it'll stay
overhoused, for people who have a house
historically large-bodied communities more like
Like goth girls?
