Please don’t think I’m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.
The term I dislike strongly is ‘eeeh’ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I’ve been pavloved bc it’s always used by someone disagreeing. But I’m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the ‘eeeh’ or ‘erm’ that annoys me.
So what’s a random term that annoys you?
PS. Saying “eeeh actually ‘eeh’ is a perfectly fine term” would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I’ve said all this.
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
“It is what it is”
I get the sentiment behind it, it’s just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.
Starting every sentence with “So”. “So” being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.
Using the phrase “serious question” or “honest question” will make me immediately assume your question is the exact opposite of that. Probably I’m overreacting, but expecting that anyone might respect that declaration you’ve made about your own question, that gives me narcissist vibes.
“Live. Laugh. Love.” or similar.
“I could care less” to mean “I could NOT care less”
Thing is… this sort of makes sense if you say it with a hint of sarcasm. But curiously the only people that use this phrase are Americans. And we all know how much they understand sarcasm 🤣.
This exactly! I always get so confused when people say that.
Is it really confusing? You know what they mean
In the example I gave it was pretty clear, but in other phrases it can get pretty confusing
“living my/your/their best life”
Please gtfo
OK yeah
Trump, Zuckerberg, Musk, Gates…
So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes “Period.” after they make a point to mean “this can’t be argued” or whatever. My good bitch, I don’t think you understand how arguing works. 😆
“Full stop” is a close second.
It’s a perfectly valid way to win an argument, end of sentence.
Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
Coffe-shop barista voice.
You all know what I mean: that 'I’m trying to make my voice croak but can’t manage it." intonation.
I have no idea what you mean
Not a term, but a lack thereof:
People I have to regularly interact with for work have been excluding “to be”, especially with “needs”, and it’s infuriating.
This issue needs escalated. That report needs fleshed out. Let me know if anything needs cleared up.
Those sound so wrong
I unreasonably hate the word “moreover”. I see no reason why you wouldn’t use the words “also” or even “furthermore” that sound way better when read.
You would have hated my highschool essays
People using double negatives incorrectly. Like “I didn’t do nothing!”
I’m so pleased to hear you admit that you did it. Your honesty is appreciated.
I didn’t do no nothing wrong now, didn’t I?
You don’t deserve your existence
I’m afraid to say I kind of like that, although don’t particularly use it much.
Mama, momma, mommas…
“Hey Facebook mommas, I’ve got a question about…”
I don’t know why, but it annoys the shit out of me.
Similarly, not a fan of when teachers and parents talk about their “kiddos.”
Feels like they’re needlessly using a more playful childish term to make themselves part of a separate “in group” who “gets it.”
I hadn’t thought about that one. I occasionally use the word kiddo, but only to say, “hey kiddo!” I never use it to talk about my kids, like “we took the kiddos to the park yesterday.”
Yeah, it’s specifically the not talking to a kid version that bothers me.
I pick up a subtext of self-importance and I think that’s what I find irksome. A mom is a parent. A momma is a special parent who will do anything for their baby, you’d better watch out. A kid is a child. A kiddo is a specific child who has a close bond with their momma or teacher that you wouldn’t understand. That’s the vibe I get.
I’d like to introduce to my friend Freud.
I don’t think it’s some latent psychological issue. I get along great with my mom, and I’ve never felt any resentment toward her. I’m also not bothered by words like mom, moms, mother, etc. I don’t even mind when my sons call my wife “mommy.” It’s just that one word, “momma,” that bugs me. I wish I had an explanation.
Oh no I didn’t mean that. Twas just a joke.
(I also dislike twas)
