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.
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.
@CuddlyCassowary ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS this topic!
It’s always superlatives, even for the most mundane and boring things
I really like your username btw… I now wanna cuddle a cassowary and/or you
Aww, thanks! I tried to find a very uncuddly animal and show it some love. Their claws (talons?) are terrifying.
They’re beautiful creatures, though
Like living dinosaurs. So cool!
Ah all the typical clickbait words. I hate them too. Lifehack in particular is a word I’m sick of now
'Should of" instead of “should’ve”
Oh God that’s got to be the worst one.
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.
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)

Upskill. I’m not ‘upskilling’ someone, I’m training them.
I’m allergic to corpospeak in general.
“I’m just sayin’” ok but you’re still an asshole.
It’s always to mitigate something heinous. “I’m just sayin’, Mussolini made the trains run on time.”
Also “Not gonna lie…” to start a sentence. Well thank you for that decency?
This one makes me crazy. And I’ve heard it so much I’ve caught myself saying it which makes me angry with myself.
YES
“Know what I’m sayin’?”
“Not really. Do you know what you’re saying?”

Lemme get that shark cootchie board of curated meats
I feel like museums should get a pass on this one.
But along these lines, I’m SO over “bespoke.”
Theres a hairdressers near me that is “Bespoke hair artistry” or some other pretentious bullshit.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store “Bazaar Boutique Emporium”
Which is basically all white linen clothing.
I don’t even like when people say that in context of a playlist on a music streaming platform…
I mean maybe they spent a lot of time picking individual songs but it’s still just a digital playlist, nothing that special IMO
Would you settle for a single clergyman?

I actually love the word curate :(
Unless used pretentiously. But then any word is annoying
Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
The corporate overenthusiasm “LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO”.
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.
Any corporation or even companies social media account being memey is annoying.
I just hate it when people try to elongate the word GO with more Os.
It’s now a new word. It’s GOO. Any further Os just make it gooier, not goier.
Can we just mean corporate speak in general. I can’t fucking stand all the buzzwords that get tossed around
“It is what it is”
I get the sentiment behind it, it’s just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.
That’s now how people in my subculture use it.
They use it to mean “it’s too late to avoid this problem; let’s talk about things we can change at this point”.
Example:
“If you hadn’t stopped at that rest area the killer never would have slashed our tires”
“Well if you hadn’t jumped for those cheap tires maybe he wouldn’t have been able to slash them with a butter knife”
“And if you’d paid for the triple A we’d have a ride by now”
“Look, it is what it is. Let’s just figure out a way to get back to town without having to follow the road”
Don’t leave us hanging! Finish the story! Please let the person that said “it is what it is” die a gruesome, dark, and slow death. But not me because I didn’t really say it… I was quoting, and that doesn’t count.
More of a grammatical mistake, but “should of” instead of “should’ve” or “should have” annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I completely get how people make the mistake, but it’s as much effort as just typing it correctly.
I judge the shit out of people for this. It suggests that they don’t even grasp the meaning of the words they are typing or saying.

“To be fair…”
The replacement of the term “conspiracy theory” with just “conspiracy”.
That’s two different things. If we equate the two semantically we can’t discuss them.
Which is exactly what they don’t want us to be able to discuss.
Sounds like exactly the kind of duckspeak conspiracy I’ve come to expect around here
“Cyber” 🙄
Ironic considering your username is almost an ASL
American Sign Language?
Age, Sex, Location. It’s shorthand from old chatrooms. Used to strike up a conversation which could lead to cyber (short for cybersex).
People ending sentences with “rn”.
I’m literally doing that rn
“Beloved” in so many articles. Yes I tend to use a specific browser. No, it is not and never will be “beloved”.
That word is so jarring most of the time and seems to be everywhere online in the last two years. I can only assume it’s some sort of SEO, trying to convince Google it’s a personal article or something. I hope to god it’s not ai assuming that’s what attracts our attention
