23 Words Everyone Really Needs To Stop Saying In 2019

Language is not set in stone; it’s continuously changing and evolving. It’s marvelous how new words come into existence and old words take on new meanings. And we’re all for it! But there are some words that just get used way too much. It’s like overexposure with celerities—someone skyrockets to fame and is seen everywhere, constantly, until the previously adoring public gets sick of them.

These words have weaseled their way into our daily lexicon and refuse to go away. They have become household words used by your mom, and they are just no longer cool. They’ve overstayed their 15 minutes of fame and they need to pack up their little bindles and be on their way. Sorry, words.

1. Lit

Lit used to mean kinda drunk, but then it morphed into meaning anything that’s wild fun, like parties. As of 2019, let’s try to come up with new ways to describe our parties because lit is played out.

2. Bae

Bae is technically short for “babe.” What’s with all the shortening of words? Are we really that busy?

3. Feels

As in, having “feels” or worse, having “all the feels.” It’s okay, people, we can throw that “ing” back into the word, we’re not saving all that much time by cutting it out.

4. GOAT

GOAT is an acronym for Greatest Of All Time. But truly, how many things can be the greatest? Not many, that’s how many. This expression is way too overused.

5. This

The word “this” is, of course, a completely necessary word, a definite article used often, with no problems. You want “this” outfit, you don’t want “this” hamburger that’s been sitting on the floor for 10 minutes. Fine. But over the last few years, “this,” preceding a link or a tweet and posted on social media, has become a way for people to express that they endorse or second something. And it also very annoying, mainly just to how overused and lazy it is.

6. Yasss Kween

No, Kween. NO. Bad! Stop saying that. TV, tweets, Facebook, memes, everybody just stop saying it.

7. Yoked

Yoked is used for someone who’s super muscular and beefy. It comes from the yoke that’s put around the next of oxen when they’re pulling something. Unless you are talking about one of those Budweiser horses, though, let’s just go back to saying “cut” or “fit” or just anything that is not “yoked.”

8. Same

It was cute for a while, but now it’s got to go. We were doing just fine with “same here” or “me too” or even “ditto” like in the movie Ghost.

9. Shook

Shook used to mean really shook up, but now, thanks to internet usage, it barely means anything anymore. People are “shook” by just about anything, good or bad. That’s when you know a word has to go.

10. Big d*ck energy

This was a fun lil’ moment in time when the world became, thanks to Ariana Grande, cognizant of the size of comedian Pete Davidson’s, um, member. For a little while, everything was “big d*ck energy,” but now that phrase is tired and has used up all its energy. Thank u, next.

9 Truths of Low-Key People

A low-key person is someone who is chill, easy-going, and simple. There’s no confusion in whether or not someone is low-key; they’re pretty easy to spot once you filter through all the attention-seekers. Here are 9 truths of low-key people:

  1. They’re laid back. They aren’t constantly on the go, finding new ways to “live it up”. The need to constantly be entertained or doing something extreme in order to escape boredom is not a part of their world. They’re happy without taking life at 90 mph.
  2. They’re not into drama. They never come home to bring up the latest drama going on in their life. Even if there is a lot of drama, they don’t even acknowledge it and the last thing they do is bring it up. They have better things to do with their time; like chilling.
  3. They’re not blowing up newsfeeds. They don’t really care whether or not people see every semi-exciting thing they happen to experience. They don’t need people to see a new selfie every day. In fact, they rarely post anything. Their business is not anyone else’s business and they like to keep it that way. They don’t need to be the center of attention in order to be happy. They actually try to avoid extra attention.
  4. Excitement is not a frequent thing. They’re relatively calm in an all-around kind of way. They may be pleased and happy about something, but any kind of extreme emotion usually doesn’t show.
  5. Emotions in general are a little muted. They never blow up when they’re angry, they don’t burst into tears when they’re sad…they don’t make a big deal about things. Expressing their love may be difficult; they just have their own low-key kind of love languange. Be ready for low-key vibes.
  6. They are homebodies. When they like to chill, they’re not into going out, and excitement is not a necessity, home is their favorite place to be. They are perfectly happy to come home after work and stay around the house.
  7. “Ok, whatever” is their motto. And not in a sarcastic way either. Anything goes. They are go-with-the-flow kind of people and don’t have strong feelings on the subject, whatever it may be.
  8. They are really easy to get along with. When they’re not into drama and they just go with the flow in every situation, you realize they’re very easy to get along with. They’re laid back and don’t mind compromising. They don’t get offended or bothered, and they don’t force their opinions on anyone.
  9. They make for great, stress-free relationships. Read all of the above. If you want a stress-free relationship and don’t know what to look for, look for a low-key person. Their chill is bae.

12 Signs You’re A Low-Drama Person

Those who are low-drama understand the insanity that is drama. It’s not that we tolerate it, it’s that we avoid it at all costs.

You can say that it’s even a matter of life and death for us. Just kidding…not really:

  1. You’d rather smuggle drugs in your ass to Europe, than confront people. You won’t admit it out loud of course, but you’re always thinking it.
  2. When you do have to confront someone, you plan it all out in your head…instead of having to avoid it all together, potentially dragging the drama on.
  3. And if you have to cut someone from your life, it’s a code red situation…because you must cut the drama immediately before it grows.
  4. You have an escape route for when someone is rude to you…because hell hath no fury than a barista scorned.
  5. You don’t even like drama on television. Every time characters get into it on Scandal, you get mad uncomfortable. Why can’t they all just love each other?
  6. When you’re involved in drama, Armageddon has come early…because you have no idea how in the world you got into this and you can’t believe people voluntarily go through this fresh hell every day.
  7. You’re either the middle man during family fights or your the person who mysteriously vanishes. If you’re not preventing your mom from ripping your sister’s head off, you’re locked in your room wondering why we can’t all get the f*ck along.
  8. You’re the calmest drunk in your group of friends…because someone has to stop those tedious drunk fights in the club.
  9. You know the inevitable signs of incoming drama. You’re an expert on facial expressions and certain phrases such as what did you just say to me? or you ain’t gonna tell me, and the popular, bitch!
  10. You can smell drama magnet people a mile away. It’s almost like a superhero sense.
  11. Making a scene might as well be a phobia. It’s such a terrifying thing to you. All those eyes on you, all those ears hearing your business *shudders.*
  12. You’re great at keeping secrets…but you really wish people didn’t entrust you with them not because you can’t be trusted with them, but because they’re laced with drama and you’re just not about that life.
