For some reason, whenever I hear the word “inclusive”, I want to jam the end of a baseball bat into the mouth of the person saying it.
“Inclusive”- yes, one my trigger (snicker) words as well. Also, “community”, “safe”, “hurtful”, “divisive” ...

Doesn’t bother me so much. I usually am content with wanting to shove a #2 pencil into their ear.
The key thing to remember when hearing certain buzzwords spoken by leftists is that they are not using these words according to their actual definitions, but rather according to what feels good to them. Thus:
inclusive = not including any combination of white, straight, Christian, conservative males.
diversity = non-white liberals marching in lock-step conformity of views. The “diversity” of an area increases in proportion to the decrease in its white population.
divisive = anything or anyone that the libs don’t agree with.
empowerment = reducing the power of people who actually accomplish things (in particular, white men) and artificially inflating the power, real or perceived, of those who have done little or nothing to earn it.
sustainable = something that cannot be sustained by market forces, and thus must be artificially propped up.
