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.
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.
“The proof is in the pudding.” It makes zero sense! The actual adage is, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” It means that a dessert can look perfect and enticing, but if the cook used salt instead of sugar it will taste disgusting.
I don’t know what people even think they’re saying with “the proof is in the pudding”.
Never mind I found it
…took the effort to nvm-d the post, but did not share how, where, or what etc
“Hence why”
Syntactically makes no sense. Just say “that’s why,” that’s what you are trying to say.
I do the “eh” thing sometimes without thinking about it but I agree with you, I don’t like being on the other end of it either. I’m trying to work on that
For me it’s “I’m offended” or “this offends me”. I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that’s your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
Fucking “pre-prepare”. Prepare already means to get ready ahead of time.
When people refer to metal balls as ball bearings. A ball bearing is an assembly of outer ring, inner ring, balls, and a cage/retainer. I worked in bearing manufacture for years and they’re just referred to as balls. To be more specific, it would be a bearing ball, not a ball bearing.
Cleanse. it’s a less efficient way to spell clean.
SME (pronounced smee)
My company is flooded with SMEs who aren’t even good, let alone experts at anything
Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.
‘Playing Devil’s advocate’.
Mostly because most people who use it do so in glaringly wrong ways.
Content, when referring to media.
underwhelming
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!
“BREAKING:”
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
