For some reason millennials are wont to make up two-word neologisms for previously common concepts. Why our traditional words for these ideas are no longer operable is strange ... perhaps our "snowflakes" have a pressing need to reinvent things? Here are a few of their new ways of expressing things ... along with the traditional words:
virtue signaling = sanctimonious
cultural appropriation = mimicry
safe space = sanctuary
fat (etc.) shaming = ridicule
white privilege = snobbery
false flag = imposter ... or a misdirection
gender fluid = asexual
cultural incompetence = savagery
Trigger warning = heads-up
Toxic masculinity = machismo
