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.

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

My son started saying "what the sigma?" constantly. I've tried to figure out where it came from and only landed on some "Sigma Male" shit on youtube.

Drives me nuts.

lol i think your too focused on the sigma part. What the _____? has a similar meaning as far as i can tell. Some guy just said sigma instead one time on tiktok and it sounded funny so people copied him.

What the heck

What the hell

What the fuck

etc all basically are used the same altho what the sigma tends to be used in a more lighthearted way from what i can tell. Like what the fuck is more angry.

β€œHang in there” bothers me for some reason.

Enshitification

A meaningless buzzword made up by nostalgia blinded millennials.

Also Saint Patty's day. God dam plastic paddies.

"Folks" makes my skin crawl. I feel like it's used to make someone appear friendlier while saying "you people", in the context of being manipulated by someone with power.

Whatever nonsense gen alpha started saying these days.

"Solidarity" as it's too often used to make others do things you want.

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.
