Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based.

Which one was the last straw or most annoying/frustrating to you?

*legacied

The term grandfathered in has a pretty fucked racist origin.

    Had to investigate, and turns out you're right about the origin. The original grandfather clause was meant to exempt blacks from voting. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_clause

    I'm not a fan of term banning, however. We still use the number 9 even though Hitler said it a lot.

    Yeah but Hitler did not create the number 9. Slight difference. There is also no other term to express the number 9.

    Legacied means the exact same thing and does not have the racist origin. There is certainly no ban on using 'grandfathered in' but there is no real reason to use it since it does not convey anything that the term legacied already does.
