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

No shit?

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours 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.

"Moving forward...."

UGH

[–] mrsemi@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Downfall.

I don't know how, when, or why, but every dumbass near me started using "downfall" in a sentence where you would use "drawback".

Those dumbasses are the drawback of humanity.

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

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 20 hours ago

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.

"Just do..."

That "Just" always skips 20 steps.

[–] RouxBru@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

"Slams" when it is actually "mildly disagrees"

[–] taco@piefed.social 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I find myself annoyed by "not gonna lie"/"ngl","just sayin'", or really anything along those lines that gets tacked on without adding anything to the statement.

Ryan George: "Why did you say that? Do you often lie about things?"

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

It never comes out of the mouth of an intellectual.

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

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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 19 hours ago

That really spangles my jingadoons.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Normalcy instead of normality

[–] qupada@fedia.io 2 points 19 hours ago

"Spin up"

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

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

[–] Mortoc@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Mortoc@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Naw they evolved it to an a sound somehow

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] mastod0n@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

"The first step is to admit you're wrong"

Yea, now do steps 2 to 10, asshat.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

This too shall pass.
