	tl;dr: Frustrated by Claude's overused phrases like "load-bearing" and "honest take"? The author shares a Python script hooked into Claude's `MessageDisplay` event that intercepts output and swaps annoying phrases for absurd replacements (e.g., "load-bearing" → "cooked"). Drop the script in `~/.claude/hooks/`, register it in `settings.json`, restart your session, and customize the replacements to taste.
	HN Discussion: ~Claudisms are fine in coding contexts but jarring when found in human-authored prose ↑LLM phrasing biases are amplified at massive scale, making them uniquely problematic ↑Cataloging and sharing specific overused Claude vocabulary reinforces the frustration •Curious about the technical/training origins of these Claudisms ~Alternative mitigation approaches like CLAUDE.md instructions or response rewriting could work better
