Cringe. Recently learned that “the youths” have basically morphed the phrase into just meaning “anything bad”. Like, that word was so useful though to specifically mean “something that someone does which flies in the face of social norms to which they are oblivious, but which makes onlookers uncomfortable”.

The term for this is “the euphemism treadmill”. Basically every word we have for someone being unintelligent was at one point a medical term and for 100s or 1000s of years human beings have been making the same lame joke with whatever the current word is. We can get mad at people for doing it, but history shows it’s guaranteed to happen anyway.
Was doing my masters degree. We’re all talking about some book several people had read. We ask one guy if he’s read it and he says “I don’t like… read books” with the emphasis on those last two words just dripping with condescension. Like read the statement with the subtext of “if I caught my kid reading a book I’d disown him and call him a queer”.
Really inexplicable take in a room full of literally only masters students
