I’m  a blind and gay romance writer that loves fiction podcasts, audiobooks, cookies, and cats! I follow more hashtags than people. Because I take frequent social media breaks, the best way to reach me quickly is via my website or email rather than here.

If there's one modern slang I absolutely hate more than anything else in the world, it's this phrase.

"That's so cringe."

Or some other variant.

"That's super cringe. That's cringe."

You get the idea.

I groan out loud every time I read/see/hear that particular phrase online or in person.

I like the phrase, I cringed, so much better.

I have no logical reason for why that "that's so cringe" phrase bugs the piss out of me. I'm hoping Gen Alpha stops the phrase.

Then again, people can't tell the difference between writing styles and writers and journalists, so I should lower my expectations of pop culture.
