When I explain my meta-ethical standpoint to people in general, I usually avoid using phrases or words such as "there is no objective morality" or "nihilism” because there is usually a lot of emotional baggage, often times go they go “ah so you think everything is permitted” which is not really what I’m trying to convey.

Terms like "moral subjectivism" are often associated with 'naive undergraduate moral relativism' and I suspect a lot of people are trying to avoid affiliating with the latter.
