Is there a word for that slightly scummy, uncomfortable feeling you're left with after reading a particularly empty piece of marketing drivel?
- BWStearns 9y agoGerman probably has one.
- wordupmaking 9y agoWerbungsleereschmierigkeitsgefühl, maybe.
- amichal 9y agogoogle managed to index this within 2 hours and so it now shows this comment as the only instance of that "word" on the internet

- lawless123 9y agoThat's so Werbungsleereschmierigkeitsgefühl
- walrus01 9y agoI'm trying to imagine some sort of word that combines nauseated with loathing. I'm sure in German you can concatenate a word together.
- parallel 9y agoNot specific to the context but "despair" seems to fit.
- leroy_masochist 9y agoI believe you're referring to the "douche chills"
- Theodores 9y agoI think it is the 'rock and roll' narcissism that is making your skin cringe so painfully! Traits include: Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from others Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc. Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions Needing constant admiration from others Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs Intensely envious of others and the belief that others are equally envious of them Signs and symptoms - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disor... The same personality defect leads to monumental fails, so people on the project only concern themselves with what they have been hired for, so if you are a writer (e.g.) and hired to be some influencer/journalist then you care about your ego as writer and not care about whether the event is going to be a viable financial concern. So the whole thing suits the build someone up and then discard way these people work.
