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!
"Oftentimes"
Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.
"It is what it is"
I get the sentiment behind it, it's just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.
"Completely different" when the two things are actually very similar
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.
Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
It's not a word but '...' ok... thanks... I guess...
What do you want? Is it on our do you want something else? It's fine...
Cmon.................
"Ding ding ding!" When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.
"Meanwhile" in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.
Not a term, but a lack thereof:
People I have to regularly interact with for work have been excluding "to be", especially with "needs", and it's infuriating.
This issue needs escalated. That report needs fleshed out. Let me know if anything needs cleared up.
Mama, momma, mommasβ¦
βHey Facebook mommas, Iβve got a question aboutβ¦β
I donβt know why, but it annoys the shit out of me.
Similarly, not a fan of when teachers and parents talk about their "kiddos."
Feels like they're needlessly using a more playful childish term to make themselves part of a separate "in group" who "gets it."
So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes "Period." after they make a point to mean "this can't be argued" or whatever. My good bitch, I don't think you understand how arguing works. π
"Full stop" is a close second.
Q.E.D.
That's fine as long as you don't spell out the periods. π
By the by, I'd love to be the guy with the confidence to end an argument with "thus it is proven". That'd be epic. I think I've only ever used QED humorously or ironically.
If you donβt have the periods it could just be someone saying qed really loud
No, you don't have a "challenge" for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.
Man if that isn't just empty manager-speak, rephrasing things to BS you and be manipulative. Lol
"Irregardless"
i know i'm being a 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.
im still a bit salty about 'literally'
also the constant failure to say 'i could not care less' correctly
Places using "gluten-friendly" to mean "gluten-free". I am gluten-UNfriendly. I do not want gluten. They've tried to be cute and actually managed to make the term mean the opposite of what it's supposed to.
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.
People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"
