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.
Turn that link into an embed with  (the exclamation mark makes it an embed, rather than a hyperlink. The description isn’t technically necessary for the embed to work visually but may aid screen readers.).
The world from Adventure Time. It’s heavily implied to be a post-apocalyptic earth, which is wildly mutated from the present day by an atomic war. IIRC, the stated backstory is that the land of Ooo is what remains after the Great Mushroom War. We see glimpses of the world immediately following the war, and it looks like a Fallout situation, with packs of survivors, radiation exposure, etc… And eventually, it settled into the Land of Ooo.
Everyone mentions the mutagenic bombs, no one mentions the ball of fuck you energy that ate Europe. I like to describe Adventure Time as a potent mixture of Candyland and Gamma World.
