Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.
I still use “lame” to this day. What should I be saying instead?
The issue isn’t “lame”, afaik there’s nothing wrong with the word. The issue is that OP used it so often that he said it everywhere.
Your motocycle accident? Lame.
Other (made up) examples:
Your grandma died? Lame.
You got a promotion? Lame
