Yeah but I feel like those words aren’t really natural, like when you’re reading it they stick out and mess with the smoothness of the writing... They’re overused a lot in that sense, I think. I read once that when you want to use replacing descriptors like that to spruce up your writing, you should always look for something that fits in the context of your character or what you’re describing. Like, if you’re not talking about age or smth relevant, it reads unnaturally to write “teen” or “youth” or things like that, but depending on what you’re writing, it can fit. For instance if the context of your paragraph is about the character’s workplace, it would make sense to replace his name with ‘the officer’ or ‘the cop’ or ‘the policeman’, but if you’re writing about something entirely different, and the fact that he’s a cop is only background information, it would be out of place to refer to him as such in a setting that didn’t require it.
