It bothers me when people misuse that term.
Which terms’ misuse don’t bother you?
The term has many meanings, depending on context, cf. Nuclear families as well as Nuclear weapons.
Like when people put something in the microwave and they call it “nuking”
Where should they put it? Would you rather people put their popcorn in a power plant just for semantic accuracy?
I don’t mind nuking food, I mind when people pronounce it “nucular”
In my opinion, that’s part of the effect of the prevailing “you can do whatever you want” attitude in today’s society.
There are no rules, so everyone’s bored. They have to go to extremes to make things interesting.
