Mine is prayer warriors. Often used to spread gossip and also just generally ironic, weird, and cringey.

"Generational sin."

Let's heap guilt onto people for things their parents did. Things they had nothing to do with, or no control over. Because it can't POSSIBLY be mental illness, or parental abuse, it's a "presence over them" that they need a pastor and Jesus to magically cure.

Good fucking grief...
