Even as someone who is termanlly online, it always makes me cringe when anyone uses these kinds of words in a professional setting.

I get the word didn't originate online, but still. It gives me the same feeling as hearing someone say "lol" in person

I would argue that there's probably an entirely reasonable instance in which a legitimate government could use the phrase cuck but also that this govt will never use it for that purpose

Some of it is that it's very online-coded, but even if we want to go all the way back to its original usage, it's really weird to be using the term in such a vacuous metaphor and reeks of being extremely personally weird about sex, which is a comically small-minded frame of writing for an official communication from the White House.
