“You can’t have your cake and eat it”

It doesn’t really make sense when you really think about it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I get unreasonably annoyed at "Well yes and no."

It's never yes and no. Just answer the question.

Not really a phrase, but I also really hate this current trend of ending a sentence in a question mark to try and add that rising inflection that is already obnoxious enough in-person. I just don't like it?

That bittersweet moment when you finally find someone as bothered by question statements as you, but you can tell from their username that they won't be around much longer.

"I'm just saying"

Yes I know you're saying something. You said it.

Like and Subscribe. I don't like when YouTubers say that, especially at the beginning of a video.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

For me it's "I will see you in the next video" especially when they give a day ("on Thursday") assuming I what the video the minute it's uploaded and not a year later. Also, you never saw me and most likely never will. That's not how videos work. I see the content creator but they don't see me. Get your facts right.

"It's always in the last place you look"

No shit?

"Slams" when it is actually "mildly disagrees"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I find myself annoyed by "not gonna lie"/"ngl","just sayin'", or really anything along those lines that gets tacked on without adding anything to the statement.

I’ve got two teenage boys that only know the word, “brah”

Naw they evolved it to an a sound somehow

"Speaks out". Commonly used by news organizations to describe anyone saying anything.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

“Fam.” Seems to have died now, and thank god.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really, well, gets under my skin

burns my biscuits

ruffles my feathers

grinds my gears

bruises my tomato

pisses in my lemonade

rains on my parade

gets my hackles up

gets my garters in a twist

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

That really spangles my jingadoons.

It never comes out of the mouth of an intellectual.

"Moving forward...."

UGH

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

"Just do..."

That "Just" always skips 20 steps.

This too shall pass.

"The first step is to admit you're wrong"

Yea, now do steps 2 to 10, asshat.

When people write "chefs kiss". Utterly harmless but OH GODDESS IT GRINDS MY GEARS

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Ugh, same. Really any memespeak, even if it's far older than the internet. Growing up every social group seemed to have a child who would endlessly quote movies. Somehow this is worse.

The most unpleasant may be "Imagine..." followed by some convoluted story. It always feels like an attempt to slightly disguise bullying. Even when it's directed at a detestable public figure, and it feels like a useful rhetorical construct.

"Spin up"

Commonly heard in IT circles; "Let's spin up a meeting".

There are literally dozens of less stupid words you could use.
