If you're a wordnerd who occasionally plays with Old English (the language, not the wood polish) then you might come up with a fun word such as
ǣlmiht
which means "eel power."
Holy flat tails of Flotsam and Jetsam, Batman!

Maybe don't use icons for everything?

Assertive #PandemicSpeak: instead of correcting everyone in everyday conversation who keeps saying “during Covid” or “in the pandemic” by telling them #Covidisntover, I am now sticking to my own language by using “since Covid.” All of them will hear me, some of them will get it, and in this way I can also converse about #Covid and the past without indicating that I’m on board with the unreality of it being “over.”

Opinion.
Could we please stop using the term "Weaponize" instead of 'exaggerate' or 'hyperbolize' https://www.thefreedictionary.com/hyperbolizing .
There are valid situations to use the term, but most of the time.
No.
It sounds good in a sound bite, so there we are.
