Personally, as a certifiable old person (Gen X) I find the word cringe to be cringy. Don't get me started on rizz and skibbidi.

But worst of all, I hate the word umami because it's imprecise (deliciousness is not a flavor) And we already have a word for it in English; savory. It's literally the word they use to define umami, people just like using the Japanese word because it makes them sound smart when a reality it just makes them sound like pretentious tools. As far as I'm concerned it's just millennial slang.
