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.
you can’t just say Perchance
People ending sentences with “rn”.
I’m literally doing that rn
that slaps
STFU!

You’re 65 Brad, use big boy words.
Is that for spaghetti? I actually love people who naturally say words in a different way. Especially if they speak a different dialect or language.
Yes, for spaghetti.
And yes it’s for people who know they are ‘making a funny’, it doesn’t bother me for kids or others.
I’m with you then. All the food ‘content creators’ and their bs pisses me off
Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
I had a young coworker who reported to me and a few others, for a few months earlier this year. She would come in and say ‘that being said,…’ all the fucking time. I heard it at least once or twice per brief conversation with her. I think she was just trying to sound smart… but, it was like nails on a chalk board to me.
“To be fair…”
No, you don’t have a “challenge” for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.
Man if that isn’t just empty manager-speak, rephrasing things to BS you and be manipulative. Lol
im still a bit salty about ‘literally’
also the constant failure to say ‘i could not care less’ correctly
I thought “I could care less” was a sarcastic way of saying “I couldn’t care less”.
RIP “literally”
I literally could not care less about literally. MANY words over time end up meaning the opposite of what they did, its just the nature of how humans use language. I love that we’ve seen this change happen right in front of us.
congratulations
I presume you must’ve seen em all Lucy
im just so happy you also have opinions. congrats
Eeh, you have a point, but on the other hand, if the word meaning “literally” no longer means “literally” then we need a new definitive term for the concept.
And we don’t have one. We just have a word that is becoming more ambiguous every year
I don’t appreciate the revenge 😭 (I do)
actually huge pet peeve when people write out erm at all. also poor public speaking really bothers me. slow, with "um"s and "so like"s, monotone. really, really makes a work meeting drag by
IM SORRY ITS MY SECOND LANGUAGE. THIRD TECHNICALLY.
Enshitification
A meaningless buzzword made up by nostalgia blinded millennials.
Also Saint Patty’s day. God dam plastic paddies.
Unfortunately, enshittification is very real. Many of us are here because of the enshittification of reddit.
i know i’m being a but i despise the term ‘taxpayer funds’/‘taxpayer money’. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.
‘American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza’. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.
“Hang in there” bothers me for some reason.
Feels like fake caring?
“I could care less” to mean “I could NOT care less”
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
I sometimes say “I could care less, but not by much”
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 🤣.
Upskill. I’m not ‘upskilling’ someone, I’m training them.
I’m allergic to corpospeak in general.
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
