What word or term annonys you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

The question was "what term annoys you" not "what term annoys you that you're sure Lemmy will approve of" (or that a malignant narcissist billionaire isn't also annoyed by).

Nowhere in that question does it say you are free from being criticized for your dumbshit worldview. It's a public forum, you write something, don't get surprised when people respond.

To me it's like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, "you mean the Earth sunrise?".

That's incredibly weird. To me it's like someone saying "I'm trans, and you?" And the other responding "I'm cis." Funny how that works.

I'm open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it's necessary to have a separate word for "is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.".

See above. Also see: Whenever you need to classify yourself as cis-gender in any survey, form or likewise.
