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.
pretentious
Upskill. I’m not ‘upskilling’ someone, I’m training them.
I’m allergic to corpospeak in general.
Can we sync on that real quick? I think we can ideate on some quick wins for your allergy that’ll get you unblocked.
GINORMOUS
Supermassive?
Black hole
on the same note, “guesstimate”
The corporate overenthusiasm “LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO”.
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.
Can we just mean corporate speak in general. I can’t fucking stand all the buzzwords that get tossed around
Any corporation or even companies social media account being memey is annoying.
I just hate it when people try to elongate the word GO with more Os.
It’s now a new word. It’s GOO. Any further Os just make it gooier, not goier.
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.
Yeah wouldn’t it be “celiac-disease-haver-friendly”?
You would think! 😅
I bake a lot of bread, including for my coeliac stepmother, so I’ve taken to labelling the loaves gluten-free and gluten-expensive
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.
“BREAKING:”
Ah all the typical clickbait words. I hate them too. Lifehack in particular is a word I’m sick of now
@CuddlyCassowary ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS this topic!
It’s always superlatives, even for the most mundane and boring things
I really like you username btw… I now wanna cuddle a cassowary and/or you
Aww, thanks! I tried to find a very uncuddly animal and show it some love. Their claws (talons?) are terrifying.
They’re beautiful creatures, though
Like living dinosaurs. So cool!
I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!
I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.
Regular coffee is a coffee. People say regular coffee because they’ve gotten fatigue from “which type?” questions. I’m more annoyed that the understanding of coffee has shifted away from the default just being an espresso. Over here in Spain if you ask for cafe you’ll get a cafe solo.
I’m a waitress and “regular coffee” means different things across regions. Some people mean just “drip, not decaf” with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean “drip, black” with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, “regular” means “2 cream 2 sugar”, as in you’d be asked if you wanted your coffee “regular or black”. It’s the worst.
That latte lady was just crazy though… unless she meant “my regular”?
Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.
Personally I’m a fan of Irish coffee, but most coffee bars seem to frown on busting out the whiskey at 8a.
Here a regular coffee would mean a milk based drink. Something like a cappuccino but not quite. Nestle ass drink.
This sounds delicious. Where is here so I can be there?
Pakistan, OK actually more dalgona than cappuccino
Okay, I’ve never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee
Nestle ass drink
Where do you think?
“Hang in there” bothers me for some reason.
Feels like fake caring?
Pah-sketti
You’re 65 Brad, use big boy words.
Is that for spaghetti? I actually love people who naturally say words in a different way. Especially if they speak a different dialect or language.
Yes, for spaghetti.
And yes it’s for people who know they are ‘making a funny’, it doesn’t bother me for kids or others.
I’m with you then. All the food ‘content creators’ and their bs pisses me off
My son started saying “what the sigma?” constantly. I’ve tried to figure out where it came from and only landed on some “Sigma Male” shit on youtube.
Drives me nuts.
Yeah, just “sigma” goes back to sigma male claptrap. But as with all internet memes, it evolved super rapidly and took on layers. “Sigma” started to mean just “the best”, not in reference to male hierarchy necessarily. Then there was a cartoon clip with Squidward from SpongeBob where he said “what the sigma” and it went viral.
Websearch “what the sigma meme” today and you will get text and video explanations of the meme for old folks like you and me. I prefer ones from teachers who interact with middle schoolers; our frontline troops facing the bleeding edge of internet memespeak.
Get a new son
lol i think your too focused on the sigma part. What the _____? has a similar meaning as far as i can tell. Some guy just said sigma instead one time on tiktok and it sounded funny so people copied him.
What the heck
What the hell
What the fuck
etc all basically are used the same altho what the sigma tends to be used in a more lighthearted way from what i can tell. Like what the fuck is more angry.
Hit your kids harder, dude.

Shut up, baby, I know it.
Start using it yourself. Use it in awkward, wrong, uncool ways. They’ll drop that shit like, “What the sigma Dad!?!”
Also use it around your co-workers and peers who have children and would recognize it when you want to really get under their skin, it’s skibidi sigma on cap
Bet!
I think it might be from a SpongeBob SquarePants meme. You might wanna start there. Not sure why that’s tickling my brain.
Oh and I just found this: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-erm-what-the-sigma-meme-about-the-catchphrase-and-overstimulation-video-explained
So it looks like started as a TikTok thing and then spread into the SpongeBob world.
I’m not sure why my ADHD brain latched on to this question but I HAD to find the answer. I don’t know if this is definitive but it’s at least a direction.
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.
Whatever nonsense gen alpha started saying these days.
Nah that’s rizzler shit on God sigma 10k
Moist
im takin it back
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.
“I’m just sayin’” ok but you’re still an asshole.
Also “Not gonna lie…” to start a sentence. Well thank you for that decency?
This one makes me crazy. And I’ve heard it so much I’ve caught myself saying it which makes me angry with myself.
It’s always to mitigate something heinous. “I’m just sayin’, Mussolini made the trains run on time.”
YES
“Know what I’m sayin’?”
“Not really. Do you know what you’re saying?”
