Words that are overused in the AC community

[StarParty8]

"Time traveling"
"Dreamies"
"NMT/island hopping"
"Overrated/underrtated"
"Raymond"
"Xvillager is BB" i admit i did use this one once but that was just a play on Sparro's t-shirt the BB tee
"Cottagecore"
"Too urban/Too natural"
"Asthetic" (as in style not beautiful)
"PSA" (it's an opininated speech and not the actually meaning for Public Service Announcement)
here's something i cooked up using all of these:
"PSA: I miss the days that people had variety in their towns and dreamies, nowadays everyone just NMT hunts for Raymond. Raymond is OVERRATED. Don't yall know Jambette is Baby? So underrated. Also, the Cottagecore aesthetic is too natural. But i always get hate for being too urban. "

Oh here's a big one let's go

"5-Star Island"

It's amazing how fast that word got stolen by Youtubers.

Back when I still bothered to give those people clicks for their videos, my favorite was when in the first minute the host said the island they're touring is actually 4-stars but that it was "basically 5-stars so it was fine to put that in the title." It really was just way too hard to for once not have "5 star island" in the title.​

Oh wow. I don’t really watch YouTube tours unless there’s a story that intrigues me. I’m preeeetty sure that’s high-quality clickbait

Also when people write "xxx villager is pure".. what pure did anyone say they was evil or? lol

 

[Gunner]

Yes I hate wholesome so much... are you planning to eat your villagers for a healthy breakfast? No? Then don't use it.

Well...we do have a villager based on meringue and another villager based on takoyaki, so anything is possible

Not sure if the rest of the world has these but whenever I hear the word "dreamies" (which i do use for lack of a better term) I always think of the biscuit treat for cats, which is funny as a few of my "dreamies" are actually cats!

I feel a t t a c k e d I use that word all the time even outside of tbt still kinda funny doe

And yeah I agree with pretty much everyone else here although I do use almost all those words ahhh

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

dreamies - I use this bc it's just the word u use to talk abt villagers you'd like to obtain or like "dream" abt having but it gives me an ick
over/underrated - i get these threads are to list off ppls opinions on villagers but do we really need a new thread every week?
cottagecore - I feel like those are the only island tour videos I ever see and im in dire need of inspo for my tropical oasis
5-star island - idk why this one bugs me but I feel like its bc there are plenty of beautiful 4 star islands who cant achieve that 5 star accomplishment bc they have placed items/forestry that make their town unique and personal

I guess I don't understand this topic. These terms refer to actual things, so it makes sense to use them?

Cottagecore does make me laugh, though. I listened to a video explaining it and all I could think about was that it was a more "cool", modern sounding version of the pastoral theme used in art, music, etc. throughout history. (which I'm very familiar with, because for some reason the oboe has historically been used a lot in music made to give off pastoral vibes.)

 

[TheodoreCottontail]

"Anyone else...?" to start threads.

Does it count? xd

Oof, I am guilty as charged for this one

 

[lars708]

Honestly the "mini-rants" or just "rants" at all

"Entry fee" is also getting on my nerves

 

[niconii]

dreamies, time travelling/tt, and on twitter definitely cottagecore

I mean you know that words can have various associations right? Like, beyond their literal definition? I think the point of this is just words that have a general bad association with them.

"Anyone else...?" to start threads.

-That or "Am I the only one who......?"Nintendo has sold millions of Animal Crossing games so more than likely,you're not the only one.

-Wholesome--When I was a kid,healthy foods like whole wheat bread were considered to be wholesome but video games or gaming in general,not so much.

-"I would die for "insert villager here".I would not die for a video game animal.

-"I'm offering bells,golden roses,my soul....."--I remember some people being reprimanded by the mods here for offering their souls in exchange for a villager during New Leaf's heyday.

 

[sleepydreepy]

right now "cottagecore" is really killing me lmao

 

[tybalt_cake]

Cottagecore

DONT GET ME WRONG if you like that style for your island go for it , but it’s just that I rarely see any islands that don’t have that theme u.u

 

[Alienfish]

*lamb chop not lamp chop lol

but yeah anything baby/wholesome/pure like pls no lol

also bae.. why would you call them poop also before anyone else makes no sense like are their your partners/husbands/wives etc?

 

[Ananas Dragon]

hm let's see
Raymond
Rare villager
CoTtAgEcOrE
Aesthetic
Dupe
Maid dress

oof I'm guilty of saying dreamie

 

[*The Oakboro Mayor*]

- ‘Raymond is overrated! I have an obscure villager and they are much better.’
- The word wholesome? I see it thrown around so much.
- Cottage ore is another big one, it’s like the new big thing to be into I guess.
- PSA (Public Service Announcement). I will see a couple thread here and there that use it, but the public... doesn’t need to hear about it? It feels very misused all the time.
- ‘They hardly update it, they’ve just abandoned the game’ like yeah they are working hard to get updates out there, it probably takes a lot of time and hard work!
- ‘Unpopular opinion but...’

 

[Nefarious]

“Ugly villagers” is a term I don’t like, but is what unpopular villagers are automatically cataloged as.
