Maybe just accept it as shorthand for what it really means.

Some examples:

We say Kleenex instead of facial tissue, Band-Aid instead of bandage, I say that Siri butchered my "ducking" text again when I know autocorrect is technically separate.

We also say, "hang up on someone" when there is no such thing anymore

Hell, we say "cloud" when we really mean "someone's server farm"

Don't get me started on "software as a service" too ...a bullshit fancy name for a subscription website that actually has some utility.

Also, the smartest response to the situation in the picture would be to work together.

But they understood a poster and are thus very smart.

Should be "work intelligently" as well.

Burritos are closed on the ends, my Mexican food-challenged amigo.

I always wondered how bragging about how long you worked was considered by some as a good thing.

Somebody invented "Employee of the Month" and our competitive habits took over.

So fucking annoyed at the taskbar overflow shit in Windows now. I don't want it hiding any of my system tray icons...I want to see what's running and I don't care how it looks. Every time certain apps update themselves, I have to go in again and select that particular app to hide itself with no way to tell Windows to just stop trying to hide system tray icons altogether. I've told it to hide Discord and the Xbox app probably 20 times each now and it conveniently forgets my decision every app update.

Probably a witch, and we would normally burn them...but burning a witch who is wise in the ways of Thermodynamics is like shooting marsh water at a swamp monster.

I believe that should be 10 to the 4th power at the end there.

Choices you can make before you sell a game called "Sex with Hitler."

This sounds like giant flying cigar cutters to me.
