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.

"Folks" makes my skin crawl. I feel like it's used to make someone appear friendlier while saying "you people", in the context of being manipulated by someone with power.

It's useful when talking about race issues. Instead of saying white/black people you can say white folk or black folk. It just seems more friendly when discussing something that could be sensitive.

'Playing Devil's advocate'.

Mostly because most people who use it do so in glaringly wrong ways.

Holding down the fort.

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

It could become accurate. I mean, with global warming and extreme weather increasing.
