Well, you got that one right, Sunny. I don't care about your 'lived
experience'. You're one of the most racist people on TV. You're a horrible
person and whatever experiences you've had concern me not in the slightest.
 
And what the hell is 'lived experience, anyway? What other experience could
you have other than that through which you've lived?

 
I'm sure she means her "lived experience" which makes her better to
talk about this subject than you and your "lived experience".

'Social distance' is another one that leaps to mind. Why did we need a new
term for that? Why couldn't we just call it 'distance'? It's literally means
the same thing.

Not to defend that weasal, but "social distance" refers to distance of people in
crowds.

Another one that recently seems to have spread everywhere is the use of
'giving' to mean 'implies' or 'seems like'. This is particularly popular among
GenZers. They say things like,

"She's giving jealousy" instead of "She seems jealous."

I thought it was short for "emminating", but yeah, it's stupid.
