There are those pop psychology phrases all over in some trendy web places and blog sites.
How do people manage to say anything in that lingo with a straight face? “They are such a narc, they love bombed me after weeklong breadcrumbing.” “Omg that’s abuse, I hope they kts”
It seems like nowadays no matter what you do there’s a word for it and it’s probably considered something horrible by someone somewhere.
If you have more funny examples of literal abuse please post them in the comments. For now I found:
Love Bombing, 💣 , Breadcrumbing 🥪 , Hoovering 🚁 , Situationship , Zombieing 🧟 , Future Faking ⏱️ , Benching , Slow Fade , Paperclipping 📎🖇️
I wonder if this is how people felt when Shakespeare invented a bunch of words. Slang turns complicated concepts into shorthand so that, once a definition has been established, more important discourse can occur.
