Aforementioned with words such as "gross" and "toxic." What makes them then popular?

• #3

Just another form of hot accept without actually saying anything.

• #five

They are descriptive words that kind of say a lot, in only 1 discussion. Basically a hot take simply are sometimes advisable.

• #6

It's ever been a thing on forums and YouTube and whatnot. People latch onto buzz words and echo them blindly.

Hyperbole
Arguing in bad organized religion
Toxic

The list goes on.

• #7

Low effort response that allows someone to contribute a sense of outrage at the topic, without saying annihilation of interest or value.

It's pretty much the same level as "starting time" imo.

• #nine

It's just people trying to look cute/clever with their hot takes.

• #11

Toxic as well isn't used the same was as "yikes" or "gross" OP

• #12

It's always been a matter on forums and YouTube and whatnot. People latch onto fizz words and repeat them blindly.

Hyperbole
Arguing in bad faith
Toxic

The list goes on.

Await, do you non think people debate in bad organized religion or that maxim they exercise is a hot take?

• #xvi

Wait, exercise y'all not think people contend in bad faith or that maxim they do is a hot accept?

More than the term, not the accusation.

Information technology's just a word of assertion, that can be used instead of "Wow" or something similar that. Y'all're reading too securely into it.

• #xviii

Yikes is super old though

Like... 60s? 70s?

• #nineteen

Shared homo culture means some words become more mutual than others.

If yous don't understand this however, yikes

Add together abhorrent on there as well. While information technology's not necessarily a bad thing, just it gets kind of grating when people tin can't think for themselves and start to parrot words they don't ever apply because they saw someone on the net say information technology.

• #22

Words get in and out of relevance and usage

Meh

Aye. Also not an insidious comment or hot take. Simply a term.

People don't like to spit their damn hot-takes while swearing. It makes them seem like disingenuous assholes.

• #26

Same with words such as "gross" and "toxic." What makes them so popular?

These are words that have been in the English lexicon for decades.

I used yikes before when someone said something so blatantly racist it was clear to everyone except the poster he'd exist banned shortly. Yikes summed information technology up because there was no demand to explain why the postal service was racist.

Toxic merely means poisonous and harmful, frequently used metaphorically. "This is a toxic mindset." Example if someone were to say "girls like dating assholes instead of nice guys like me", that'southward a toxic mindset that will crusade further harm down the line.

Equally for gross, have we not ever used that give-and-take to draw things that nosotros found unpleasant? For decades.

Just another form of hot have without actually saying anything.

I don't remember you lot're using that word correct.

Gross and toxic behavior from the earth at large.

• #30

i say 'woof' instead of yikes

• #31

That's my give-and-take, by the way. You can't have it.

• #33

It'southward always been a thing on forums and YouTube and whatnot. People latch onto buzz words and repeat them blindly.

Don't forget disingenuous.

• #35

Yikes and gross are pop buzz words to use when you desire to dismiss or disapprove of something without wanting to reason or argue against it

• #36

Zounds!

You lot crafty dog! You've won this circular!

• #37

i say 'woof' instead of yikes

I bet you do, Admiral Woofington. I bet you do.

I like a good 'woof' myself too

• #39

I'm more than of a "jinkies!" girl m'self.

• #twoscore

For the longest time I thought YIKES was a only a twitch conversation thing until I actually heard one of my coworkers utilise information technology in a presentation.

• #42

Don't forget disingenuous.

Ooh, that's a good one.

• #43

Y'all discovered the discussion "toxic" and just went to fuckin town with that

As for "yikes", it'south just another easy dismissal of a point of view y'all don't similar. You don't accept to respond to them; the "yikes" makes it seem similar the post in question is obviously self evidently bad. So yous get the moral high footing, last word, and no real try on your part.

I don't come across how 'Yikes' is anything like 'gross' and 'toxic'.

• #45

I find that it'south usually used by people concern trolling, rather than a genuine exclamation nearly something.

• #46

I discover that it'due south usually used by people concern trolling, rather than a genuine exclamation virtually something.

Business organization trolling.

Another good one!

Showing emotion is oftentimes a way to +1. Also you have to practise it least y'all be mistaken for the enemy. Aforementioned reason bringing up valid counter points to bad events involves hedging one'south speech.
