Hating “Hater.”
Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson went wild on people who use the word “hater” today, declaring a moratorium on the word. Wrote the irate journo: “…More often than not, people characterized as ‘haters’ are more accurately ‘people with differing opinions.’” Someone drank their haterade this morning! [MG]
This word has been out of date since the movie “House Party” with Kid and Play used it. The ONLY people who still use this word are 7th grad girls in the south and Clay Aiken Fans.
“Hater!” says Corduroy (Moving on Up) Jeffersons! by Text Message.
Who the hell read Mollygood anyway. It’s one of worst site out there. Yawn, yes i’ma hating on them.
If ‘Liar, liar, pants on fire’ is appropriate to a spreader of tales, then how would we label this guy’s comments…’Hater, hater, masturbator?”
It is one of several words that are misused and overused. Words such as the adjective ‘impact’ used as a noun to replace ‘consequence’ or ‘effect’, ‘to impact’ used as a verb replacing ‘to affect’, ‘to disrespect’ as a verb at all, ‘to grow’ as an active verb replacing ‘to expand’ or ‘to develop’. It is most often a sign of limited vocabulary or an inability to frame a coherent thought.
