For me, I hate "problematic." It used to be that was a word mainly by mechanics, to talk about malfunctioning car parts... now it's thrown around by everyone offended by anything, or people getting offended on behalf of other people.

I also don't like the "this needs a lot of unpack" that I see in growing circles. Stop it! Unpack your own nonsense and stop saying that.

Also, since Wandavision, suddenly everyone on the internet and on the streets are experts on the "Ship of Theseus" conundrum. Kind of like when the Matrix 2 came out, everyone suddenly had "causality" added to their vocabulary.
