    When ppl say “it is what it is” like ok thanks for that useless comment that adds nothing to the conversation. Its just a lazy way to end any discussion without actually saying anything meaningful

    The word bro. It’s cringe 😬

    It happened for a reason.”
    Yeah, Karen, maybe the reason is just that life sucks sometimes and not that the universe is your personal life coach with cryptic tweets.

    “Crash out”. Idk who started it but it’s fucking stupid

  26. InvestigatorLazy5378 Avatar

    “I feel some type of way” – Which type? Choose one. There’s a plethora of options. Read a book, expand your vocabulary. Then express yourself more accurately.

    “Moving forward.” Overused and I hate it.

  45. Cythripio Avatar

    Using “literally” to emphasize your point.  Besides the fact that word was designed for a specific purpose of which emphasizing your point is not it, if you can’t make your point without popping in dopamine words like that, then what you’re saying sucks.

    Thank you kind stranger.

  47. Orbitrea Avatar

    I absolutely can’t stand “I appreciate you.”. Why are people saying this now? “Thank you” is fine.

    “unironically” – just use “actually”

    “on the daily” – “daily” works just fine, and is fewer words

    When someone starts chanting “shots! Shots! Shot! Shot! Shots!” or however that dumb shit goes

  64. crypticiscrying Avatar

    “pov: insert whatever” solely because it’s in reels and tiktoks that are not in fact, from a point of view. it’s always used wrong

  65. UseMuted5000 Avatar

    Dupe

    Edit: not when it’s used in a similar way you’d use “trick” but more in an “it’s fake/ a copy” kind of way

    X thing is “mid”. Can be a film, game, series, whatever. Anytime someone says something is mid it just annoys me. It is so overused and sounds so condescending and snob

  68. Wit-Grit-Guero Avatar

    When they mess up common phrases like when they say “I COULD care less” instead of “I COULDN’T care less”.

    My dad drilled into my head that “no problem” isn’t as kind as “you’re welcome”. In retrospect, I don’t think that is necessarily true, bit I have noticed it ever since.

    Kiddos, doggos, kitters, etc. Fine when talking to your pet or toddler; so cringe when you baby-talk other adults.

    All due respect.

    You know damn right that means I have no respect for you or what you said. What comes next usually confirms that.

  89. Stefania9596 Avatar

    “dO bEtTeR”. Rubs me the wrong way…especially on social media. Comes across so condescending. Never mind the fact that the people or person you are telling to “dO bEtTeR” are probably not even seeing your post.

    Yelling “Aye Aye Aye” while someone is dancing

  95. truejs Avatar

    People who say “y’all” in a professional setting when it’s clear they never say it outside of that context. It’s meant to be folksy and disarming but to me it rings hollow. Just be yourself. Like my friend from Texas. When she says it, it’s true to her character and sounds completely natural.

    “See”; “véyr”; “found is not stolen” and “lost playboy”.
