While I'm in that sort of mood...
These days, if I see anyone use the words "cringe" or "cringy"/"cringey" or phrases like "full of cringe" or whatever to describe basically anything at all (aside from, maybe, the actual act of cringing itself), that's a very strong indicator that I can probably safely ignore that person forever afterward, even if I ostensibly agree with the mocking of whatever thing is being described by the word. To me, at this point, somebody calling something "cringe" is, itself, cringe, by their use of the word.
Even "cringeworthy" is kind of pushing it for me, lately.
Kind of shocked I haven't already done an entry on this one yet (or if I did, I apparently failed to include the tag).
