Welp, I think I need to go to my safe space to get over my waste of time reading all these moronic new words that I’d never use except sarcastically.

Safe place ?? When I was young , and that was eons ago my safe place was a place we called home . A place where your mom and dad and your siblings also lived . A place filled with love and adventure and home cooked meals and a fun weekend was a cookout with some of your friends and family members . That was my safe place and i’ll tell you I miss the hell out of that safe place !!

I'll not be using any of these new 'words'. They won't be allowed into my vocabulary reality.

More like ignorance, lack of education or knowledge of the English language, street language or to many people in California trying to write .We should pay more attention to what teachers re doing in our schools l

Well, I mean Welp, I do not like any of these words; they sound like words that Millennials would use. I am almost 70 yrs. old, so I will stick with my own words, thank you very much. “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

bunch of blatherskite. My safe place when i was growing up was in my head. We played outside until the streetlights came on, rode bikes in the streets and generally stayed out of the house. I started my paperroute at age 12; had my own bank book at the third grade; read 'The Old man and the Sea' at the 4th grade. I had fights at school; did Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scouts. Earned merit badges, arrow points, and the Arrow of Light.

Welp, I'm going to have to just go now and do some copious virtue signaling, and then plan some "Esprit de l'Escaliers" for future usage.

Safe space and virtue signalling have been around for quite sometime. Whelp refers to a dog 🐕 giving birth.

What an utter waste of time. New words are invented to cover new things happening, not just to please somebody’s ego.

We may not like these new words or phrases but it is worth noting that an estimated 800 to 1,000 new words are added to English language dictionaries every year, so no point being a luddite as we inevitably end up using many of them. Think Blockchain and Cryptocurrency as recent examples.
