None, it's a stupid term. Reminds me of sensationalist buzzwords they like to use on cable news and clickbait headlines.

You feel free to use expressions and terms as "rub me the wrong way", "buzzwords", and "clickbait". In those cases you are okay with the listener/reader interpreting the implicit meaning over their explicit wording. Why is "forever chemicals" different? Specially in an informal communication setting.
