    Using cringe as an adjective. Saying something is ‘so cringe’ is the same as saying ‘that horror movie is so scare.’ It’s dogespeak.

    “At the end of the day” is like nails on a chalkboard for me lately and I have no idea why.

    “It’s common sense”

    MOST of what people consider common sense is only common in their career field or lifestyle.

    If you find yourself calling a client an idiot for doing etc whatever and blah blah, do this exercise…

    WOULD YOU have a career if that person coming to you knew anything about what you were doing?

    “Let that sink in”

    If your statement wasn’t impactful on its own without artificially drawing attention to it, then shut up. Yall sound like boomers.

    Second “At the end of the day.” And “that begs the question” when what is meant is “raises the question.”

    “I could care less.”

    This means that you do care, at least a little, which is the precise opposite of what you’re trying to convey. As is often the case, David Mitchell breaks it down expertly.

    “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion”, like sure technically true I guess but it seems to work out most often as “my ignorance is as good as someone else’s knowledge”.

    “Everything happens for a reason”, especially when they are implying that a bad thing is okay when it happens for a hypothetical good reason.

    “I love that for you” I think it comes across as condescending.

    Thank you so very, very much for doing nothing about [insert bad thing] while acting like you did something profound. /s

    Almost ANY of the new-ish gen z to gen alpha slang. “It’s giving”, “rizz”, “skibidy”, etc

    meeting finishes a bit early

    Chair: “I’m giving you 8 minutes of your day back!”

    Woop de fucking doo. Twat.

    Use of “adult” as a verb. (shudder)

    “It’s giving….”

    Ugh.

    Side note: I had no idea that “It is what it is” was such a widely detested phrase 😂
    That’s definitely one I say in the wake of something that is futile to try to change. This thread will be making me a bit more self conscious haha

    “Irregardless”

  35. Uncle480 Avatar

    I’ve noticed a lot of “streamer speak” has been leaking into memes, comments, and God forbid actual in person conversation. Some times it can be funny, but usually it’s awkward, and feels like someone is having a schizophrenic episode.

    This is not a out loud issue, it’s written. When people say they are loosing something. It’s LOSE or losing, not loosing

    “ONLY IN [insert city or state]!!”

    Yeah, because only in your state will you see, for example, a man parading in his underwear while air guitaring.

    I swear 95% of the time they say that phrase, it’s something that can happen almost anywhere in the US.

    “I could care less”. Not because of the sentiment–because it makes no sense. Shouldn’t it be “I couldn’t care less”?

    Using the word Trauma in a vastly exaggerated way.

  47. Esaarf Avatar

    When on a scheduled call for work, say it’s scheduled for one hour and meeting only lasts thirty minutes – when the person holding the meeting says, “I’m going to give you thirty minutes back to your day”, because call ended early.

    No, no you’re not giving me anything back and it sounds so ignorant.
