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.

    “For me”

    I know it’s your opinion because you’re the one saying it. And the construction of it is just weird. “For” me. I dunno.

      Perchance is a great word though. I think I’d probably use it if I knew how to do so appropriately in a sentence (though I imagine only a fraction of people who do use that word use it properly. That tends to be the case with formal or archaic words used in informal contexts)

    Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.

    “It is what it is.”

    It is lazy, circular, a cop out and means next to nothing. Vague enough to pass as a wise quip, to some. It is not.

    Also not so much a saying per sé, but people who use quotes of famous people at the bottom or ends of emails. As if that implies a personality. If you are going to use something you think sounds smart, at least try to come up with that something yourself.

    I recently heard someone say after they almost accidentally went in a wrong building entrance, “Good thing I didn’t do that or I would regret my life choices.

    A bit much for something minor that created no more than two seconds of awkwardness.

    “Oftentimes”

    Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.

    “Not me” doing something.

    Just say you’re doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that you’re doing it.

    Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.
