Ironic considering your username is almost an ASL
"Oftentimes"
Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.
Please do the needful.
This one really grinds my gears! I think it's because the person can't even be bothered to describe what they want you to do, just go fix it and don't bother me with any details.
"Completely different" when the two things are actually very similar
- paradigm shift
- military grade encryption
- cyber kill chain
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.
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”
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.
So just like L words?
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?
Do you often look out your window and see everything you dream about and wish you had?
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
