Adjectives are amazing. When they’re not helping us form stereotypes, they’re being employed to delineate the differences between people. But what happens when everyone uses the same adjectives to define themselves? How is everyone on Tinder a “sapiosexual”? Why are Twitterers also “lovers”?
Here are some stock adjectives we would love to see the back of.
