Cryptic.
Woke.
Shook.
Just really hate how the internet (being relevant, chasing clout/clicks on it) has impacted how people obsessively use words incorrectly. It sucks. That’s all.

Cryptic means something else now? I clearly do not use the Internet as much as I think I do.

I think the rot started when people just decided they could start spelling aluminium wrong and it didn’t matter.
This is what you get folks…

What does shook mean. Is that a form of the verb to shake?
Language constantly evolves. In some cultures, it’s a regular part of the social fabric that keeps the group together. The internet just sped it up.

It’s less about what the words mean and more about how they are misused.
*edited. Didn’t agree with the words I used lol

Words drifted pretty quickly before the written word and printing came about to keep them in line.
And, in many cases, even with the printed word language shifts over time and eventually a word means something else.
For example, the word “nice”.

Trending is definitely part of the issue. It seems words trend the best when they are misused. Then they become kinda meaningless. Sometimes, (Woke) that is the agenda imo.

Precisely, these words lose their temporary status value, and eventually just make the user look dated (when used in the ‘new’ sense) and then they just die.
