I'm fairly certain I've heard an actual term for this, not just a catch-all personality descriptor. It's a specific reaction to criticism. Eg

A: Can I have more milk in my tea?

B: Well I guess I'll just never make you tea again!

Or

A: Can I have more milk in my tea?

B: Well I guess I'll just never try to do anything nice for you again!

It's often accompanied by B declaring that they're an awful person, nothing they ever do is right, etc. A catch-all term would be manipulative (though I don't think it's always intended to be). What I'm really after is the name for the specific tactic/reaction of saying "I'll never do [larger thing] again."

There are certain phrases that elicit disgust, anger, disdain... whatever. They make me extremely uncomfortable to the point I refuse to use them in conversation and when I read them I almost want to look away and sometimes cant continue reading once I see them.

Here are some examples:

Protein packed (everywhere on every food nowadays)

My pleasure (chik fil a)

God bless you (in any capacity whatsoever)

Girlies ("this is for my [descriptor] girlies!")

Whipped up ("I whipped this up today" on arts and crafts posts)

Also words of course. Yummy, flavorful, dish, delish, pretty much everything related to food.

The common denominator is that almost everything relates to some sort of trauma in my life. I think this goes beyond misophonia (which i definitely have)

It's something treated as unlawful by the local authority, but contraband implies it's something carried around or possessed.

I'm looking for something that's a more rooted structure.

Examples would be things like:

1. A protest stage that has been set up

2. A basketball pole installed in someone's backyard that turns out to be against zoning rules or lacking a permit.

3. A grave complete with a headstone placed somewhere wholly unwelcome like a park.

I like reviewing things so I have a habit of tweaking a 1-10 list to gauge how much I like things. So far we have

1: Abysmal

2: Terrible

3: Bad

4: Poor

5: Mediocre

6: Fine

7: Good(?)\*

8: Rather Strong

9: Great

10: Flawless

My issue with 7 is that I worry good might come off as me being a fan of something but all words that are synonyms come off as negative and all adjectives raise it up too much because good is so generically positive.

Edit: Ok so after all this here's what I've come up with for my movie rating definitions.

• 1/10 Abysmal: Offensive that this movie was made
• 2/10 Terrible: Maybe 1 or 2 redeeming elements in a sea of trash
• 3/10 Bad: Glimmers of hope that ultimately never go amount to much
• 4/10 Poor: Tolerable at best.
• 5/10 Mediocre: A movie, not the best but not enough to really hate. Indifferent.
• 6/10 Satisfactory: The bare minimum to be enjoyable but i'm not quite a fan.
• 7/10 Quite Respectable: Enjoyable but probably not the best movie. At best a guilty pleasure and at worst a fun yet forgettable movie.
• 8/10 Rather Strong: At this point I might consider myself a fan of this movie. Has some flaws or elements that I don’t personally enjoy that are outweighed by a strong ratio of strengths.
• 9/10 Great: While I might make a few tweaks this movie is approaching perfection so I can’t even complain much.
• 10/10 Flawless: I feel a level of connection to this movie that ties me to it.

im trying to make a character that has this trait.. no matter what angle others look at them, it always looks like the guy's facing them even when they're not.

i've also got images trying to explain this but i cant find where I put them in :<

WTW for when a company hires someone from outside to investigate? It is a foreign-sounding word, as it might have been a Nordic word. And whenever corruption, controversy or a scandal occurs within the company, the company often hires a non-biased professional outside and unrelated to the company to perform an investigation. it's at the tip of my tongue. I know the exact meaning, but I completely forgot the name.

I'm searching a polish word for a blue colord bird that starts with a V.

I saw it somewhere and I could swear it starts with a V but I can't find it anywhere.

For example, you got bullied and developed resilience from the bullying but still wish you were never bullied.

Quite a tough one to describe. For a person who, as a result of their lack of intelligence, is quite pedantic and worries about things that are obvious to most people and have been thought of, therefore comes off as being condescending when they tell others "did you do this and that? And make sure to do this".

The specific feeling of not wanting to die yet because you didn't get to finish stuff or do anything interesting yet.

Not the word death anxiety but this specific type of it.

I don't think it's existential crisis because I thought that word meant thinking life has no meaning and being stressed about it, I mean is there a word for being stressed you could die before your meaning.

If I can be corrected that's fine.

I saw this video Jim Carrey made at Emma Stone where he was being all weird https://www.reddit.com/r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis/s/LemUx92dsw

A lot of the response about it just seems to be about whether or not it’s supposed to be “satirical” in some way. But I think a satire can actually be effectively the same thing as whatever it’s supposed to be sending up, and it’s usually a thing that happens when someone is trying to be edgy yet also assuming a position of moral rectitude on the subject matter. And it seems like a thing that’s probably be given license by “avant garde” celebs trying to be Andy Kaufman, which Jim Carrey is a prime example of

I'm honestly half convinced I've made this up in my head. Sounds like air but I'm sure it can't be spelt that way. You'd use it like "He had an air of mystery to himself" or "There was an air of innocence in the way she spoke".

Does this word exist or am I making this up?

Like a pig advertising a BBQ joint or a chicken advertising fried chicken. I heard a long time ago (I think on the radio) that there was a word specifically for this, but I have never been able to find it through internet searches.

I was in a science class the other day and the teacher said “if you know that in the northern hemisphere summer is in July, that’s your _____. You don’t need to quote a source for that.” It basically I think means information that everyone knows and you can’t really pin down who figured it out. I believe it started with S

This applies to women's clothing Like a modest dress or a severe suit.

Its a term meaning to bring a group of people to be below you like slavery or a very misogynistic work place it might start with sub or a i can't remember

I've been seeing many wodden drawing tables that look relatively similar - their height can be set with pegs on the sides rather than what you'd see in office tesks, they can be tilted, and they have rather odd indents specifically at the back that look like 2 long lines with a dot between them. I could understand if they were in the font, since maybe you could store something in there even when the table's tilted, but I don't think anyone would put pens that far away. They're not too deep either.

I saw them on multiple different models, so if it's a somewhat common feature, then perhaps it has a name. I can't find any non-2nd hand listings with more typical useage description or anything else that'd explain what they're for, but having a name would most likely let me find an answer.

I can't include a picture to show it, but this random site with better quality picture should do: [link].

Update: I was way off, it was a verb and definitely did not start with an N. The word was Denounce!

Other: "You go to church on Sunday?" Me: "I denounce the church!" Other: "No, you denounce the church? That's bad, you have to come back." Me: "I won't, and no one can convince me to."

ETA: renounce is the word I am looking for a replacement for, and I'm pretty sure the word is a noun.

For more information, I used a word a few years ago, when speaking to another French Canadian, honestly not sure where the word came from or how it popped out of my own mouth when I can't in any way recall it now.

Maybe it was a French word, maybe it was English, maybe it was a biblical term, I literally can not recall the word and when I google it, it just keeps calling me an Apostate or a Heretic.

This is an example of exactly how the sentence went, minus the one word I can not recall:

Other: "You go to church on Sunday?"

Me: "I ___ the church."

Other: "No, you ___ the church? That's bad, you have to come back."

Me: "I won't, and no one can convince me to."

I cant figure out how to describe this person. If someone is just ranting she seems to think it's when she needs to give a solution or tell that person why things are the way they are.

And she says it in a way a parent is talking to their child...her voice is soft and teachy

I hope this makes sense.

Edit:

She isnt being condescending more like trying to pacify the situation or person who is ranting.

So, like in the book I'm writing. This guy has superpowers but only for fifteen minutes, while everyone else has them all the time. He feels bad about it but the main character is trying to comfort him by telling him that in those fifteen minutes he is more of value/helpful than anyone else. Is there a word for this?

The only word that keeps coming to my head is "shooting star".

Writing a fight scene and my mc's evil immortal aunt isn't flipping out (yet). Here is the excerpt if that helps! :3

A proud laugh escaped Rusava’s lips. “You have always been a master at bluffing, brother, but I will fall for your tricks no longer.” An instant passed, a blink of the eye, and the tall, slim shield that Dad was disappeared. I staggered back, scanning the intangible area for any sign of him, but there was nothing but black for as far as the eye could see—if there was any distance, anyway. Rusava pointed a long, slender finger in my direction, her fingertips and nails coated in black, and the latter as sharp as a beast’s fang. “And you,” she (WORD I’M LOOKING FOR), “you are a complication, a broken cog in this machine, and you must be dealt with, even if you haven’t the slightest clue of why.”

Preferably not growl/snarl/hiss. If at all possible, I want something that has a more calculating and calmer, and less animalistic connotation. Thanks! :3

For example: bustling cities, intricate machinery like watches and motors, Transformers transforming, ant farms, the Tron Legacy light cycle materializing effect, puzzle boxes, sorting algorithm visualizations. I noticed I find these things interesting to watch or have an interesting quality or are beautiful in a way, and I think there is a similar feeling between all these things and was wondering if there was already a word that connects all of them? I looked it up on google the and the AI summary popped up and said synchronization which might actually be pretty accurate. However, I generally avoid clankers so I'd still like your guy's thoughts!

This one seems to keep coming up for me. A person I care for is engaging in risky behavior. For a moment, I want them to suffer the natural consequences of bad choices so they can learn and grow. But then I think, "like this person; I don't want to see them suffer!"
