It's upsetting to me to see these "meme" adjectives used sincerely on HN.
- __ryan__ 7y agoCan you expand on this? What about these adjectives are a meme? To me, the “tech person gives advice while brazenly cursing to show how serious and authoritative they are” is a meme. Edit: I just learned that “cringey” is not In most dictionaries yet (which explains why spell check is saying it’s not a word). That said, the term fills a void where no other term conveniently comes to mind.
