Beth, to me "narc" refers to drug enforcement or ratting out someone. First time I saw it used as an abbreviation for narcissist I was confused. Methinks we are showing our age.
I think I am guilty of using "toxic" to describe someone whose behavior is, well, toxic.
There are so many psych terms that are misused/overused by society. "Trigger" makes me grind my teeth. As a person integrated from DID and who had "most" of the diagnostic criteria for PTSD it burns my butt to hear someone say they were "triggered" by something when what they mean is something made them uncomfortable.
Don't get me started on the people who self-diagnos mental health disorders. It is insulting and demeaning to those of us who do.
