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.

Nah it's origins is a single use in a written poem with a significantly different meaning. Looking at the trends it's clear that it's GoT. People just use that poem as their cover, unwilling to accept that their memory is a foreign country

Aight. I'm glad your anecdotal experience in life is indicative of mine and what I've interacted with, seen, and read.

Iono why I tried interacting with a hex user in the first place. It always seems to end up in derision and self-labeled omniscience.

Nobody cares about settler anecdotes; not when very recent mass-market slop (I have no respect for A Song of Ice and Fire; especially not after the "Grimdark Low Fantasy that FUCKS"/"fantasy for people who would rather be watching the Sopranos" adaptation) provides a much more likely outcome for why this phrase is back in the zeitgeist than a poem from the 1800s.

Amerikans don't read poetry anymore as it is; if they even read at all. Midwesterners, man; I'd rather talk to a full-time coastal elite than some of you crackers

Thank you for proving the point.

Proving mine just as easily, smuglord.

Don't you have a timeshare in Florida or Arizona to be scuttling your way toward like the snow-lice you are?
