how do i deal?

i'm not sure how i'm supposed to deal with this problem:

At school and other places where young people and my friends hang out, a common term used for if an exam or test was hard, is to say it "raped" you.

eg. omg that maths test just raped me, i won't be able to sit down for weeks.

people say that all the time and i get particularily sensitive about it, but i can't be like hey guys, don't say that because you don't know what rape is like and if you did you wouldn't say that, because then

a) they'll probably guess what happened to me
b) they'll think i'm stuck up

i already tell people to not say things are "gay" if they thin ksomething's stupid, and i already get a lot of flack for that with people thinking that i may be gay myself because i get so upset when people misuse the word

so there's no ways i can say something about it, so does anyone have any coping tips, because i can't always just walk away if we're in class etc.

(((((((((scarred))))))))) It sucks when you're triggered this way. People don't think or care about what they're saying. You're right, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to say something about how they don't know what it is. Maybe you could try to make fun of them right after they said that because it's so stupid and they might stop.
If not, you could make a habit out of posting here or telling someone who knows and understands after you've been triggered. Even if I can't do it right away, knowing that there is someone that I'll eventually be able to talk to about it helps.

You can't change people. what you can change is your own attitude.

you can also be firm and keep saying to them how "slang" words are for small minds who haven't read a single book in their lifetime and thus haven't developed their vocabulary and must repeat street words like parrots.

( i presume they repeat it a lot and use it frequently? )

sadly...my *coping tip* is just zoning out

others dont understand...and its not like something most want to share with everyone. So just like tolerate them and think about other things when they throw the term around

victimhood totally sux

thanks guys! next time someone says that i'll just laugh at them and be like, oh, it sounds so dumb when you say that because it's so out of context, or something like that and hopefully they'll stop saying that around me

if they don't then i have plan B:
telling them that it happened to one of my friends and it's really not nice to say things like that because she told me how terrible it is so i think we should all be a bit more sensitive and get out of the habit, in case we say it and someone's there who it's happened to, but we just don't know it

Those sound like good plans, scarred. It'd probably be a good idea not to press the issue, so they don't realise what the truth is. It's awful that you have to come up with plans so that stupid people won't trigger you.

yeah, but that's life i guess thanks guys

You're welcome. Hope it goes well.

I have this problem at my school as well, and it bothers me a lot too. I just ignore it and change the subject. I get mad when people make light of rape, but such is life.
