Whatever happened to "ugly" (as in, "he harbors ugly feelings"), has it gone out of style in their parlance?

'Ugly' is looksist! That's why gustatory metaphors like 'gross' are so popular now--no *-ist connotations.
-
"gross" as a term of moral condemnation will never not sound trivializing to me. snot is gross. dog poo is gross.
-
Infantilization is a big component of the culture, though. They're willing to bite that bullet.

What's even more interesting is how do these people think they deserve 6-digit salaries if they can't handle "tough" situations at work?

Social justice + narcissism = justice is everything I can get people to give me, plus 20%.

"Don't be evil" became "Be evil, but don't say 'evil'"

Yep.

My memory is that in 60s and 70s it was a cant phrase used only by adults (esp teachers) speaking condescendingly to children.
-
Later became mainstream adult language (presumably when those children grew up, whence bimodality). Ironic considering current use pattern.
-
Yeah, graph doesn't distinguish use-cases. "I'm not OK" has very different cultural context than "this is not OK".
-
To first order, you can just normalize by "ok", after which the trend seems to remain.pic.twitter.com/Q8ONiTRPrZ

it's bizarre to me that a CEO (and ostensible fullgrown adult) would use that phrase in an official memo, but I guess it's the Current Year

And why should one prove or disprove that? Sheesh all are forms of interaction that are valid. Such hissy over nothing.

I first heard "not OK" from a coworker over a decade ago. She was commenting on some sartorial fumble on Project Runway. Should've known.

Glaringly obvious from that CEO's note that he's utterly blind to the concept of irony.
