I'm talking more about typical responses I see on Facebook and other social media.
Yummy - when people show pics of food. I cannot stand the word. It's so precious. I think I last used "yummy" when I was six years old.
Magical - really, is it that magical? It's another photo of a lake or mountain. They're nice, but magical? Seems a stretch.

'looking good!' - regardless of how fucking pug-ugly some cunt in a photo is.
Used almost exclusively by Americans.

There's a lot of utter tripe trotted out on social media - even by respectable sources. Partly due to standards in journalism and there being no money in it, partly due to sycophancy but partly also due to just lazy fucking thinking - unquestioningly regurgitating the 'if you say it, they will accept it' PR or hype line.

I quite like the derogatory "u ok hun" when someone is clearly having a personal meltdown and wants to tell everyone about it.

There is an old episode of the Simpsons in which Bart's carefree, impulsive, irreverent mischief becomes a base of personal operations for all of the townspeople. Inevitably, the consequences are dire.
There is an element of this in the land of Facebook (or even "the comments section" of anything) - now that we all have "a megaphone and an audience", it's the sort of thing where everyone has decided that they may very well be the funniest (or most profound/edgy) human that ever lived, and the evidence is there for all to see. To use a term like "rally killer" for the sort of person who can derail ostensibly meritorious content with a few painfully superfluous keystrokes hardly seems out of line.

It's the same with people who talk about how many 'sleeps' there are to go before Christmas or a birthday. Grow up. And don't even get me started on 'holibobs'.

Awesome.
Definition: "causing or inducing awe; inspiring an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, or fear: an awesome sight. exhibiting or marked by awe; showing reverence, admiration, or fear."
Someone should explain to Americans on reality tv shows the difference between awesome and quite good. A new lamp shade in your living room or a chicken sandwich is never "awesome".
