Like and Subscribe. I don't like when YouTubers say that, especially at the beginning of a video.

For me it's "I will see you in the next video" especially when they give a day ("on Thursday") assuming I what the video the minute it's uploaded and not a year later. Also, you never saw me and most likely never will. That's not how videos work. I see the content creator but they don't see me. Get your facts right.

When people write "chefs kiss". Utterly harmless but OH GODDESS IT GRINDS MY GEARS

[–] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Ugh, same. Really any memespeak, even if it's far older than the internet. Growing up every social group seemed to have a child who would endlessly quote movies. Somehow this is worse.

The most unpleasant may be "Imagine..." followed by some convoluted story. It always feels like an attempt to slightly disguise bullying. Even when it's directed at a detestable public figure, and it feels like a useful rhetorical construct.

"Slams" when it is actually "mildly disagrees"

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

"blasts" for the same reason

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago

"Speaks out". Commonly used by news organizations to describe anyone saying anything.

I’ve got two teenage boys that only know the word, “brah”

Naw they evolved it to an a sound somehow

“Fam.” Seems to have died now, and thank god.

"It's always in the last place you look"

No shit?

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get unreasonably annoyed at "Well yes and no."

It's never yes and no. Just answer the question.

Not really a phrase, but I also really hate this current trend of ending a sentence in a question mark to try and add that rising inflection that is already obnoxious enough in-person. I just don't like it?

That bittersweet moment when you finally find someone as bothered by question statements as you, but you can tell from their username that they won't be around much longer.

the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really, well, gets under my skin

burns my biscuits

ruffles my feathers

grinds my gears

bruises my tomato

pisses in my lemonade

rains on my parade

gets my hackles up

gets my garters in a twist

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

That really spangles my jingadoons.

It never comes out of the mouth of an intellectual.

"Spin up"

Commonly heard in IT circles; "Let's spin up a meeting".

There are literally dozens of less stupid words you could use.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

“You can’t have your cake and eat it”

It doesn’t really make sense when you really think about it.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

"I'm just saying"

Yes I know you're saying something. You said it.

This too shall pass.

I'm just asking for a little validation!

"Moving forward...."

UGH

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

"Just do..."

That "Just" always skips 20 steps.

Normalcy instead of normality
