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.

and they even have subtly different meanings that the talker often doesn’t seem to realize.
you use something for what it’s meant for. use a bucket to carry water.
you utilize something for something it works fine for, but it’s not really the intended use. you utilize a shoe to prop opena window.
let’s split the difference: usetilize,

I quite like influencer I think it’s good that they are called what they are being paid to do and not trying to hide. It’s surprising honestly from a very dishonest industry.
Well, that’s a very interesting take on that and I never quite thought of it that way. Thank you

“Hang in there” bothers me for some reason.
Feels like fake caring?
I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!
I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.
Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.
Personally I’m a fan of Irish coffee, but most coffee bars seem to frown on busting out the whiskey at 8a.
Here a regular coffee would mean a milk based drink. Something like a cappuccino but not quite. Nestle ass drink.
This sounds delicious. Where is here so I can be there?
Pakistan, OK actually more dalgona than cappuccino
Okay, I’ve never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee
Nestle ass drink
Where do you think?
Regular coffee is a coffee. People say regular coffee because they’ve gotten fatigue from “which type?” questions. I’m more annoyed that the understanding of coffee has shifted away from the default just being an espresso. Over here in Spain if you ask for cafe you’ll get a cafe solo.
I’m a waitress and “regular coffee” means different things across regions. Some people mean just “drip, not decaf” with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean “drip, black” with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, “regular” means “2 cream 2 sugar”, as in you’d be asked if you wanted your coffee “regular or black”. It’s the worst.
That latte lady was just crazy though… unless she meant “my regular”?
Cleanse. it’s a less efficient way to spell clean.
This is how I feel about several acronyms at work! There’s a three letter acronym recently that was coming up a lot on a meeting. I had to search for a definition to understand the discussion. The meaning is fully encompassed by just using one four letter English word that nobody past kindergarten will be confused about. But this acronym is everywhere! Also, the single word has fewer syllables than the stupid acronym, so it’s faster to say. Not by much, but it just adds insult to injury every time I hear it.
Oh come on you juicy dangler, you’re not going to tell us the word and acronym?
“I’m just sayin’” ok but you’re still an asshole.
YES
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.
Not specifically a word, but i hate when people mix english with their native language
Its especially worse when they use words that are nearly identical
Do you mean English loanwords or when people switch back & forth?
When people switch between the two languages
“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
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.
Get a new son
Hit your kids harder, dude.
“Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?”.

Shut up, baby, I know it.
Yeah, just “sigma” goes back to sigma male claptrap. But as with all internet memes, it evolved super rapidly and took on layers. “Sigma” started to mean just “the best”, not in reference to male hierarchy necessarily. Then there was a cartoon clip with Squidward from SpongeBob where he said “what the sigma” and it went viral.
Websearch “what the sigma meme” today and you will get text and video explanations of the meme for old folks like you and me. I prefer ones from teachers who interact with middle schoolers; our frontline troops facing the bleeding edge of internet memespeak.
Start using it yourself. Use it in awkward, wrong, uncool ways. They’ll drop that shit like, “What the sigma Dad!?!”
Also use it around your co-workers and peers who have children and would recognize it when you want to really get under their skin, it’s skibidi sigma on cap
Bet!
I think it might be from a SpongeBob SquarePants meme. You might wanna start there. Not sure why that’s tickling my brain.
Oh and I just found this: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-erm-what-the-sigma-meme-about-the-catchphrase-and-overstimulation-video-explained
So it looks like started as a TikTok thing and then spread into the SpongeBob world.
I’m not sure why my ADHD brain latched on to this question but I HAD to find the answer. I don’t know if this is definitive but it’s at least a direction.
The corporate overenthusiasm “LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO”.
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.
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.
Any corporation or even companies social media account being memey is annoying.
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.”
It is lazy, circular, a cop out and means next to nothing. Vague enough to pass as a wise quip, to some. It is not.
Also not so much a saying per sé, but people who use quotes of famous people at the bottom or ends of emails. As if that implies a personality. If you are going to use something you think sounds smart, at least try to come up with that something yourself.
This is known as a thought terminating cliché. They can be more than just annoying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_cliché
I’ve always interpreted it as being equivalent to “what’s done is done”
Per se
This one is mine too. It’s used in a way that can give it more meaning (mainly, this is something out of our control), but logically the phrase is just corpo filler-speak that means absolutely nothing.
