(this won’t surprise anyone) Any word derived from retarded.
I also really hate Boomer. So many times I see it used, especially on Twitter, and just roll my eyes. Apparently we are the sole cause of everything wrong in the world because of an accident of when we were born

The 'Karen' thing has passed imo, but some lame people still use it.
Agree with all the words already posted.
July 2020 "At the end of Sunday afternoon’s National Rugby League game in Sydney, a frustrated player from the losing side took aim at an official with a verbal outburst that was picked up by on-field microphones and later replayed on television.
Among the repeated use of the f-word, the player used ‘retard’ as a slur to denigrate an official. He was subsequently disciplined at the time.
The player has since apologised to the official, and in a statement said, “I’d also like to offer my sincere apology to anyone offended by the regrettable language that I used."

Closure is another one that gets to me, even though I can sometimes understand it's use.
There really is no such thing as closure. It's a myth.

One of my pet hates is "passed away" what's wrong with just saying "died"?

I just heard another one on the Project about infertility. It's odd how you hear a couple (usually the man) saying we were hoping to get pregnant or we are pregnant. Umm... men don't get pregnant. Expecting is okay. I might be a bit nit picky

whore, slut, tart and other degrading words for women - especially when used by women From now on I will specifically use “hussy”, “broad”, “dame” and “floozy”. :: running away as fast as I can from Pepe ::

I'm with you Dawn.....and I am not proud of using them.
But sometimes those words are appropriate and I use them sparingly.
I do appreciate the factor that they are not gender specific anymore.
The attempt to twist the term "politically correct" into an insult has never made sense to me.

someone has 'passed'....religious in origin, funerals are religious in origin, making sure that the person passes safely to the next world that's why, as an atheist, i don't believe in funerals and will not have one, i know quite a few people who feel the same

Expecting is okay. I might be a bit nit picky bill burr, my favorite totally nonPC comedian, did a bit on this subject when his wife was pregnant with their daughter. he was amazed at how huffy people got because he said" she's pregnant" instead of" we're pregnant".

as a commo i dislike the word exclusive . i also dislike ''prestige car '' as i dislike the word prestige .. (damn french ) one day i was driving along and realised i was in fact driving a ''prestige car '' but i comforted myself with the knowledge that it was only a few years away from becoming a money pit instead as all prestige cars do ..
