A lexicon of criticism

I'm always searching for the right word to critique posts. Every subculture has its own euphemisms and favorite words to describe other subcultures. But this isn't about The Language of Youth Subculture, because it's outdated already. I'll be taking most of my definitions from https://www.vocabulary.com/

This is about long-standing technical words used to describe discourse, like screed, pablum, glib, platitude, tripe, etc. These terms are subjective, but their purpose may eventually be revealed. This is currently in its messy collection stage.
