What word or term annonys you?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
“Cyber” 🙄
Ironic considering your username is almost an ASL
"Oftentimes"
Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.
Please do the needful.
This one really grinds my gears! I think it's because the person can't even be bothered to describe what they want you to do, just go fix it and don't bother me with any details.
"Completely different" when the two things are actually very similar
I cringe so hard at the twitterist carebear-hugbox way of smugly claiming the intellectual high ground and shaming somebody:
"Be better." or "Do better."
The sentiment isn't terrible, but it's prevalent use is obviously just dripping with arrogance and thrown out in the most petty ways. Ugh!
- paradigm shift
- military grade encryption
- cyber kill chain
"It is what it is"
I get the sentiment behind it, it's just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.
That’s now how people in my subculture use it.
They use it to mean “it’s too late to avoid this problem; let’s talk about things we can change at this point”.
Example:
“If you hadn’t stopped at that rest area the killer never would have slashed our tires”
“Well if you hadn’t jumped for those cheap tires maybe he wouldn’t have been able to slash them with a butter knife”
“And if you’d paid for the triple A we’d have a ride by now”
“Look, it is what it is. Let’s just figure out a way to get back to town without having to follow the road”
"I could care less" to mean "I could NOT care less"
I sometimes say "I could care less, but not by much"

Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.
Not a term, but a lack thereof:
People I have to regularly interact with for work have been excluding "to be", especially with "needs", and it's infuriating.
This issue needs escalated. That report needs fleshed out. Let me know if anything needs cleared up.
To quote Shakespeare, "Or not?"
Those sound so wrong
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
"Live. Laugh. Love." or similar.
So just like L words?
So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes "Period." after they make a point to mean "this can't be argued" or whatever. My good bitch, I don't think you understand how arguing works. 😆
"Full stop" is a close second.
Q.E.D.
That's fine as long as you don't spell out the periods. 😆
By the by, I'd love to be the guy with the confidence to end an argument with "thus it is proven". That'd be epic. I think I've only ever used QED humorously or ironically.
If you don’t have the periods it could just be someone saying qed really loud
It's a perfectly valid way to win an argument, end of sentence.
Ha serves me right ✌🏻
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.

Using the phrase "serious question" or "honest question" will make me immediately assume your question is the exact opposite of that. Probably I'm overreacting, but expecting that anyone might respect that declaration you've made about your own question, that gives me narcissist vibes.
Mama, momma, mommas…
“Hey Facebook mommas, I’ve got a question about…”
I don’t know why, but it annoys the shit out of me.
Similarly, not a fan of when teachers and parents talk about their "kiddos."
Feels like they're needlessly using a more playful childish term to make themselves part of a separate "in group" who "gets it."
