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.

i know i'm being a nerd but i despise the term 'taxpayer funds'/'taxpayer money'. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.

'American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza'. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.

The corporate overenthusiasm "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO".

Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.

Holding down the fort.

You hold the fort. It's a military term. It's not taking off if you let go of it.

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.

lol i think your too focused on the sigma part. What the _____? has a similar meaning as far as i can tell. Some guy just said sigma instead one time on tiktok and it sounded funny so people copied him.

What the heck

What the hell

What the fuck

etc all basically are used the same altho what the sigma tends to be used in a more lighthearted way from what i can tell. Like what the fuck is more angry.
