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!
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
"It is what it is"
I get the sentiment behind it, it's just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.
Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.
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.
I have no idea what you mean
"Live. Laugh. Love." or similar.
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.
Trump, Zuckerberg, Musk, Gates....
Kevin Gates?
Enshitification
A meaningless buzzword made up by nostalgia blinded millennials.
Also Saint Patty's day. God dam plastic paddies.
Unfortunately, enshittification is very real. Many of us are here because of the enshittification of reddit.
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
People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
"Lawfare" meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
"Disinformatsiya" or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
"Sanewashing" to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it's a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about "sanewashsing" and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren't exactly the fucking same as Trump.
Property, when referring to a house/home.
βNot meβ doing something.
Just say youβre doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that youβre doing it.
But that is them accepting it.
The question was βwhat word or phrase annoys you,β not βdo you understand this phrase.β
I know what the phrasing means, it still bugs the shit out of me.
