I cringe so hard at the twitterist carebear-hugbox way of smugly claiming the intellectual high ground and shaming somebody:
"Be better." or "Do better."
The sentiment isn't terrible, but it's prevalent use is obviously just dripping with arrogance and thrown out in the most petty ways. Ugh!
"It is what it is"
I get the sentiment behind it, it's just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
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.
Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.
"Live. Laugh. Love." or similar.
"I could care less" to mean "I could NOT care less"
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 π€£.
Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
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
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. π
"Full stop" is a close second.
It's a perfectly valid way to win an argument, end of sentence.
"Irregardless"
Mama, momma, mommasβ¦
βHey Facebook mommas, Iβve got a question aboutβ¦β
I donβt 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."
People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"
Trump, Zuckerberg, Musk, Gates....
Kevin Gates?
Especially in news headlines: slams, blasts, mind-blowing, hack (or lifehack)
I'm sure there are others, but that's all my brain can handle at the moment.
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
I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
You would have hated my highschool essays
