Lashing out

Okay I'm gonna "lash out" if I hear this ridiculous term to describe cheato's actions again. I've heard it thousands of times since 2016. Here's an idea: use the exact adjective for what he is doing. Some suggestions are lying (probably accurate most of the time), threatening, misleading or intimidating. What's the problem, media? Why can't you use exact language?
