I'm getting a bit tired of seeing the word "privilege" thrown around as a meme on the internet in order to invalidate someone's opinion without actually responding to the content of what they've said.

Tends to be used in arguments about sexism, minorities, civil rights etc.

I've already checked it: I'm an Irish lad who isn't a banker, politician, high ranking political advisor, bondholder, EU bureaucrat, golfing buddy of <insert any serving or former minister's name here>, junkie or policeman - as far as privilege goes, I'm pretty much f*cked.

I had to look up glamping. I thought the whole idea of camping was that you wake up covered in centipedes with a mild hangover and a cold. That's not likely to happen in a luxury yourt with zebra skin cushions.

In the words of Charlie Brooker, anyone who uses that word is a 'funt'.

Comes from the idea of holism, ie talking from your hole.

All buzzwords are fine with me as they all serve a purpose and became fashionable cause people started using them more and more.

I dislike people using buzzwords out of context and in the most incorrect moments/places.
